Isn't that just the sweetest victory of all, using the invader's weapons against them.

I guess that "Special Military Operation" is just Russia's weird way of delivering military aid to it's neighbor.

"It was supposed to kill us, now it will be killing them." That's what I call a mission Statement!!

"It was in the personal carrier and was supposed to kill us. Now it will be killing them" - such a badass saying.

Ukraine soldiers are taking battlefield recycling to a new level. I am sure they will make good use of it.

"This was supposed to kill us. Now it will kill them."
I love how he said it so casually 🤣

[Sajuuk]

"After we win..." Amazing morale right there! "...we might take it and use it." Not if a farmer finds it first! 😂😁
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🌻

The sight of fragmented Russian military vehicles is heartwarming, knowing that they can never again be used against Ukrainian civilians.

Slava Ukraini!

Excellent job keep it up, glory to Ukraine !

I love these Ukrainians, they are all so professional, interesting and seem to be well trained and brave soldiers. Most even have a sense of humor which would be difficult for most people. As a career FF I have seen this sense of humor many times in life or death situations. To me I think people who have a sense of humor in dangerous situations shows confidence and they also want to spread that confidence and reduce stress to the rest of those around them.

I cried for weeks for Ukraine but now im very happy scared and shocked at the same time. Ukrainians are like fire ants, they are bad ass.
