Ukraine's Irpin recaptured from Russia, as civilians declare 'We have been liberated'

UKRAINE'S Irpin recaptured from Russian military forces as civilians declare 'We have been liberated'.

Video footage from Irpin, on the western fringe of Kyiv, showed destroyed Russian tanks amid bombed out buildings and Ukrainian authorities removing victims in body bags.

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Yevhen Yenin says the Russians overestimated their capabilities: "They know of our plans to take over control of the region, to enlarge the circle of safety around Kyiv, to regain control of the road to Lviv and, of course, they are doing their utmost to impede our plans. But unfortunately they overestimated their capabilities and now they have to pull back."

Moscow's invasion of its neighbor has killed thousands, sent millions fleeing and galvanized the United States and allies around the world to impose punishing penalties on Russian government entities, businesses and oligarchs.

God Bless Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. The world stands behind you. And we are all so proud of you for standing up and protecting your country, your people, your families and your beliefs. I hope everyone in Ukraine that is suffering right now can get out of this painful situation without getting attacked. My heart goes out to every single last soldier in Ukraine and everyone in Ukraine. Much love to Ukrainians from Vietnam.

You have to fight for your freedom otherwise you lose it

Great job but not surprising, by the look of the Russians equipment, the planes ✈️ probably have wings that have been Gaffa taped on, their tanks look like they were plucked straight off a Ww2 battlefield and their soldiers have their school exam’s in two weeks 😂

[MisfitManiacJoe]

Who needs audio in both ears at the same time anyway...

[candysmith]

Why not giving Ukraine more heavy weapons like tanks?

The humble will be exalted and Ukraine will resist, 🇺🇦🇧🇷
