    “Those who were able to survive, no matter what, are exceptional.” Yes, you Ukrainians are exceptional. Slava Ukraine!

    Working with the ukrainian IT companies is always a pleasure. Not many people know that Grammarly, Gitlab, Ajax and many more companies have origins in Ukraine
  • "Why do we need to be innovative? To survive" - Quote from Maria Berlianska in the video was so powerful and meaningful. Thank you for this video!
  • @moffig1

  • @paulmakinson1965
    I worked with Ukrainian engineers in Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk. They are really smart, competent and are brilliant at improvising solutions with whatever they have at hand.
  • @rsKayiira
    Excellent reporting. We need to support Ukraine more and more so they can defend themselves from the Russian military
  • I wish all of you in this video the best in all your endeavors. Ukraine never fails to impress me with it’s resilience, ingenuity & beauty. As to evil moscovia, I curse you forever. Slava Ukraini…Glory to the heroes 🇺🇦 🌻 💪
  • @SKMarcusA
    Great journalism. Put faces behind this amazing drone powerhouse. Ukraine will thrive as a military tech country.
  • @KellenDunnVPDFO
    During the Cold War, the CIA viewed Ukrainians as the brains and brawn of the Soviet Union. Without the brain, the body flops like a Russian. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes

    Ukraine will prevail and be one of the strongest country in the scene in future decades. Slava Ukrainii! 🇺🇦❤

    A well presented and constructed video - I have donated to the Ukraine war effort, I wish it was closer to the million dollar level, but I do what I can now and tomorrow....
  • @mishaillich9728

  • RAID technology continues to deliver. I'm very impressed with Ukraine's determination, resolve and innovation. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸 Heroyam Slava 🌾🌻👨‍🌾👨‍💻 💙💛
  • Many people don't understand the Ukrainian Spirit. We were hardened by hundreds of years of brutal repression and misrepresentation, this war is a reminder and yet another good, I emphasize GOOD reason to not only persevere but also thrive as a sovereign nation well capable of outstanding technological innovation.
  • @jamlarna
    Ukrainians are absolutely incredible! The will of the people to just say FYOU to Russia and to strive to develop new technology and rebuild their lives and country while there is still a war going on is inspiring. Stay strong Ukraine ❤️ for Wales UK 💪🏽
  • @Simpaulme
    One of the best videos I've seen about Ukraine!
