The Ukrainian ppl are beautiful and so strong. I bet those pierogi's go a long way to lift spirits since they are made with so much love.

That kid has tremendous pride and heart .. he said he feels rebellion in his blood. I felt that.

[TrunkyDunks]

what a brave young man and young woman! such an inspiration as an American. As a combat veteran, I've thought strongly about going there. If I didn't have children and was 22 again. You know EXACTLY where you'd find my freshly out of the corps.

I don't know why, but I relate so much to the women gathering together to make pierogi for the troops. I'm not even from Eastern Europe but the pierogi really struck a chord with me. 😊

Slava Ukraine! Spirit of freedom is upon your brave souls. Go back home Russians to your family and friends... ❤️💪🇺🇦

Everybody has their roll to play and everybody needs to eat. That young lady is doing exactly what she should be doing keeping these people fed so they have the strength to defend their home. God bless the Ukrainian people, you are an example for the world to look up to.

This is Ukraine's war for Independence. May God Bless the defenders of Freedom!

Helping with food and care is very important so these women can be proud, can't fight if you're starving. Nice to see them all coming together. All of them do what they can fighting or supporting. Stay strong.

Thoughts and prayers! So proud of the Ukrainian people!

God this is so heart wrenching to see these young souls talk about joining the army and defending their country. They should definitely become part of NATO and the European Union. No country should tell another one what to do with their future. This membership Ukraine wants and needs since it gave up its nuclear arsenal.

[timeflysintheshop]

And the wonderful people who feed the defenders! :) Man those pierogi looked good!

[RTaranto]

Excellent piece WaPo! These are the kinds of stories that need to be told.

"Some say that the Ukrainians fight like heroes, I say that heroes fight like Ukrainians!"

2:33 what a heavenly scene. You know that food is full of love.

[dominicpelle]

I find it hard to watch these vids without a tear... young good people fighting evil.
And something tells me the young Russians don't want to be there either.

[JcM]

for all the Ukrainians who choose to stay and fight for their Country ... volunteer soldiers and people who are doing something whatever they can for their country!! you are all heroes ❤️🙏💪

Rasputin and Putin- two guys who took down Russia.

[jlhenderson]

The world is in awe of the Ukrainian people's ferocity and determination to keep their land free of the Russian yoke.

[Dontslaythybroski]

Shes doing so much for her country by making food for the troops. Such good people in Ukraine

[tolitsdterrible]

These people are the true treasure and heroes of their country. May God bless you all.
