  1. Even if they crush Prigozhin quickly its still a win for Ukraine. It diverts military power away from Ukraine. This is great news! Slava Ukraini!

  2. Anders is a brilliant analyst. I subscribed to his channel about a year ago and never skip an episode.

  3. I hope the West doesn't pressure Ukraine to accept a "negotiated settlement". Those decisions belong to Ukraine alone. Thank you for the videos, I'm always interested in what you have to say and what you share with us.

  4. You were so confident from the very start of the daily vlogs. I remember thinking "how can she be so certain of the outcome". Western weapons are only part of Ukraine's victories - its the fierce determination of its citizens and Ukrainian ingenuity that is winning this war. Slava Ukraini! Heroyim Slava!

  5. I heard about this. Ukrainians compensate for their disadvantages with ingenuity and the simple fact that they are fighting for their homeland and their freedom. I have enormous respect and admiration for them

  6. A view of Ukraine we don't see very often these days. Glad you have such a beautiful and peaceful place to get away from the tension of war. Sadly the war is damaging the environment far more than anything that did before. Hopefully Ukraine will be able to restore the damage after the war. Perhaps I'll come and help out 😌

  7. If Ukraine is forced to negotiate, no matter what, Crimea MUST remain Ukraine. It is a strategic necessity.

  8. So impressed with what I've seen about Ukraine. The places, the people, everything. When do you think visitors will be welcome in Ukraine again? Are there too many foreign volunteers over there now? I'm finally getting my affairs in order so I can go as soon as possible. Want to be sure my presence there won't be problematic.

  9. Zaluzhny is an effective leader. It would be a mistake to replace him.

  10. I'm guessing that a lot of Ukrainians are learning English now there is such a demand to hear from Ukrainians about what they are experiencing. Even without formal classes, exposure to English must have increased substantially since the start of the war. Some Ukrainian vloggers I watch switched to English or started adding English language videos to their content (especially like dima maleev - his videos are hilarious)

  11. Ukrainian ingenuity and creativity rules! Necessity is the mother of invention 😊

  12. I feel the same way. It's so wrong. I'm furious 😠 about it.

  13. The best military analysis by far is Perun. I don't know how he does it, but his material is well researched, and his presentations are compelling. He goes into great detail like no one else.

  14. History changed when Zelenski said "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition".

  15. I noticed that too. America might not exist if France didn't give their support. Both wars of independence against overwhelming odds.

  16. Yes I wonder what happens to Ukrainians that are forcibly moved to remote parts of Russia.

  17. It would be interesting to know what your worldview was before Putin attacked. IMHO the biggest mistake Putin made was activating people like yourself and creating a nation of people determined to keep their freedom. The whole world was inspired by your courage and commitment to push back.

  18. Setting aside political considerations and in purely practical terms, Ukraine must control Crimea as a strategic necessity. It's similar to why Israel has to control the Golan Heights. When you live in a neighborhood of aggressive neighbors you really dont have a choice.

  19. Yulia Tymoshenko had my attention back in the day. Would love to see a movie about her rise and fall. I know she is still involved in government but at the peak of her power her style and dramatics were compelling. So much intrigue and fight for influence. Great story.

  20. Russia has been engaging in this type of practice for centuries. It was barbaric then, but for it to continue in the 21st century is outrageous.
    4
  21. I agree completely.

  22. Thank you for sharing this. I wish more people knew about this barbaric practice of the Russians. I encourage your viewers to read the Wikipedia article describing this practice and it's history: Population transfer in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer_in_the_Soviet_Union.

  23. Interesting idea 🤔

  24. Great presentation 👏 I hope you do more of these "discover Ukraine" videos. Thank you 😊

  25. I remember too. Unfortunately, that war was a mistake, and now people don't want any war at all, even if it's justified.

  26. Indeed. Now the free world can send troops and Putin can't complain.

  27. I think about this a lot. I've lost relatively few friends and family members in my life and each loss was painful. Ukrainians are losing many more than most of us in countries not at war and the pain they must be experiencing is beyond my ability to imagine. The only silver lining is that it strengthens my resolve to do what I can to help, which in my circumstances is mostly contacting my representatives and urging them to provide Ukraine with what it needs to push out Putin's army. To the Ukrainian people I'm so sorry you have to go through this but I would also fight for freedom too if my country was threatened.

  28. Perun 😊 the best analyst I've seen. All of his videos are excellent.

  29.  @RW4X4X3006  Anna speaks excellent English. I've never progressed passed a few phrases my family taught me (our ancestors fled Russia when Stalin came to power). The fact that so many Ukrainians speak English makes them easier to relate to for people in English speaking countries - in some ways it's a strategic advantage. From the very beginning it was apparent that we had a lot in common with Ukrainians. We might not have understood that if they couldn't communicate in our language. IMHO

  30. Negotiations are not an option. Putin intends genocide. The free world cannot allow this.

  31. The entire country of Ukraine is participating in the fight for freedom. Women are a force multiplier in any army. And they are half of the population.

  32. The real problem is Hungary and Turkey. They will try to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO.

  33. I would be ok with darkness, would not be ok with losing internet access, but no heat? That would be really hard to deal with

  34. Corruption is everywhere - it's a matter of how much corruption can a nation tolerate before economic stratification becomes too extreme, production suffers, and government revenue declines. Ukraine can't tolerate any corruption right now - people's lives are at stake.

  35. Like WW2, it takes time to ramp up military production, train troops, and set up logistics. Ukraine will win, no doubt, but it won't be easy.

  36. All Russian launch sites and air bases are legitimate targets. The missle attacks must be stopped.

  37. Do you think your views are shared by most Ukrainians? Most of what I know about Ukrainian public opinion comes from videos and comments on YouTube. I think you have to be in Ukraine to really know what they are experiencing and how they are responding

  38. It is still perplexing that Russians are willing to go fight in Ukraine, knowing they will probably die there. That Putin's propaganda can persuade these men to go to their death is incomprehensible.

  39. I was a child at the time but I remember playing in the bomb shelter my neighbor was building.

  40. "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"

  41. Some in the West were critical of the Azov battalion because of a few right wing members. It's a complex issue that most people don't really understand beyond a few short clips they see on TV and social media. Sadly I don't think many will survive because they were concentrated where Putin's army focused it's attack. Whatever people found objectionable may no longer exist.

  42. After all responses to the word you were looking for I guess you won't forget the word "curfew" anytime soon. Never miss your videos, been watching since day 1. Slava Ukraini! Heroyim Slava!

  43. This is why Ukraine will win. The entire nation of Ukraine and millions of people throughout the world are doing everything they can voluntarily. Putin has to impoverish ordinary Russians to pay huge wages to get anyone to fight his war.

  44. Off topic but I am curious about Ukrainian politics right now. Churchill in England lost the election when WW2 ended. He was a great war president like Zelenski but for reasons I don't understand he lost popularity after the war. In the US we got Eisenhower after the war at least partly because of his success as a general. It all makes me wonder what is taking place in Ukrainian politics.

  45. This is essential knowledge for anyone who wants to understand the war happening now. It was genocide then, and it's genocide now 😠

  46. Crimea will be far better off in Ukraine than under Putin's tyranny. The Russian pattern of conquest has been to deport indigenous people to remote Russia and replace them with Russians even now in the 21st century. I call that a war crime.

  47. The free world needs to acknowledge that Ukraine has degraded Russia's military for them. They owe Ukraine their support
    2
  48. We might not be able to stop Putin and his siloviki from cruelty to his own people but he cannot be allowed to repeat the Holodomor genocide. Destroying life supporting infrastructure with the intent of eliminating the Ukrainian people is genocide.

  49. I just watched your documentary about propaganda and Russian deception. Excellent work - you have become quite skilled at this

  50. History will record the brilliant accomplishments of Ukraine's military. Combined with the fierce determination to be a free people, Ukraine will prevail.
