  1. Powerful and moving video.
    By the grace of God, let this be a rehearsal for the Victory Day coming very soon in Kyiv, when Ukrainians and all people with hearts and souls celebrate the perpetual freedom of Ukraine, the extirpation of the orcs and the end of putlerism.

  2. Did they really have to chop the Ukraine national anthem so badly in the video?
    For those it bugged like me:

  3. I’m still wondering how long those stubborn officers will continue pushing their luck. Russia may be large, but obviously their corruption hasn’t helped against the lack of supplies, and the troops aren’t fighting for their homeland or families like Ukraine’s military is. Additionally, Ukraine still has a lot of support from around the world. So it’s completely irrational even for tactical reasons alone, as to why the russian commanders would continue staying. They should cut their losses and turn against putin. For those more intelligent people who can’t get involved, they can only shake their heads and sigh, I guess.

    Anyway, I’m at my local airport, waiting for my flight boarding call now, to Poland. I’m looking forward to proving Liudmila that she need not worry.

    • Very nice, Mac! I am glad that you finally get to go see your Liudmila! I wish you a pleasant trip, as far as is possible in this difficult environment, and I wish you both a grand time together.
