    "Come for a few coins and leave your leg over there". Damn hard core.
  • @majalca03
    These are some well trained troops, the Ukrainians. My heart goes out to them. Slava Ukraine!
  • I admire, how calm, collected and professional these soldiers feel.

    "You came here for coins, and lost a leg!" Damn... that was a powerful sentence.

    Honestly what impresses me is the overall education and professionalism of the UA people being interviewed. When the media guy asked about looting. The soldier mentioned the locals state it happens, but hasn't seen it personally. I think those kind of responses are huge because they show how grounded the person is. Assuring that they don't just assume and make assumptions but instead state the facts, and how it relates to their prospective.

    Excellent video, great report. Throughout the Cold War, RFE was a beacon of hope and truth in my country. It’s these core values that will ensure that the amazing Ukrainian nation and people will prevail over the Russian totalitarian regime. 🇺🇦🇺🇸Long Live Ukraine, Long Live RFE🇺🇸🇺🇦
  • Way to go Ukrainian Brothers keep up the good fight in our thoughts and our prayers
