Ukrainian troops are leaving Google reviews for shops and restaurants they encounter on Russian territory. It's a hoot to read. "Great food but not enough parking for our tanks." "The employees even speak Ukrainian." "They accept payment in Hryvnias." "They had the tools I needed to fix my tank. On my way to Moscow now." LMAO. Clearly morale is very high on the new front.

WOAH! Colonel Leighton was my Unit commander when I was stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base in the early 2000s. I was in the 316th TRS fresh out of basic. One Sunday, a tornado hit the base and he drove down after and knocked on every single dorm door to make sure us young Airmen were OK. He was immensely fierce and sharp but also had a heart of gold. He was the best commander I ever had!

As an American U.S. Army retiree I have kept up with the Ukrainian Military.Let them join NATO. They are bad asses..!

Zelenskyy is achieving what Prigozhin only dreamed of doing.

[danielstevenson]

Something very impressive a non nuclear country invading a nuclear country.

[edwardderr]

Ukraine should get ALL of their territory back. ALL of it!

[carolyns]

Putin needs to get the hell out of Ukraine already

[toptonychick]

The outcome on the ground in Ukraine is vital to future European and global security. Supporting Ukraine is vital for Europe.

This is great. Put pressure on social services, economy and their logistics!!

[marisabenson]

Lift all restrictions placed on Ukraine

[g-urts]

I hope us in the West realize that the only reason we haven't gone to war with Russia yet, is because Ukrainians are a bunch of badasses and didn't just roll over and let Putin take them

[rossgray]

Just imagine how easy it would be for NATO to invade the place, with all their weapons and having superior air power as well. Ukraine has done all of this with virtually no air support at all.

Wagner exposed Russia’s weak mid section. Ukraine learned. Go blue and gold.

[deanmoulton]

Ukraine: "give us Putin, we will retreat". Russians are not our enemy, Putin is.

[oldworldpatriot]

This marks the first time in history a nuclear armed nation has been invaded by an external state military

[donovan]

Ukraine has shown Russia how special military operation should be done properly.

[mlister]

Every analyst keeps mentioning this pipeline as a motive. Have they not noticed that the pipeline already goes through Ukraine? If they wanted to stop it they can stop it anytime. It's irrelevent.

[jayzaricor]

An OLYMPIC move by our Ukraine. We in the US are proud of you.

Keep up the great work Ukraine! Putler humiliated and a week later still have no response to losing territory 😂
