One of the most shameful things that has emerged during this criminal war is that the Russian troops will leave their fallen comrades behind, I think this must also go to show how little compassion Russians have for their fellow countrymen. I just hope that we will never allow Russia and Russians to be part of our normal life, they need to be out in the cold for at least a few decades.

[draganjagodic]

The most competent and thorough insight and analysis.

[MacBjorn]

Ukraine should listen to the lesson of General Patton, do not pause, always attack. The allies didn't listen to him and the war dragged on longer than it should have.

[zeero]

Let's not get too cocky; don't stop, keep alert. The Rooskies are a shifty bunch and could do something sneaky. Glory to Ukraine.

[tdeclerck]

Many thanks for these interesting podcasts! Listening from Belgium.

[Tonvanis]

_To me, this is the best deception of this war. With this momentum and helping hand from the US, British and Nato Ukrainian will liberate the southern and hopefully Crimea. God be with Ukraine always._

[rufinogarcia]

Inspiring people of Ukraine. Luvya all guys who love freedom but not the traitors within

[dankojd]
