I'm from Kyiv Ukraine and I live 4 km from Bucha. I slept for a month under bombardment not knowing of genocide happening there. Even though we managed to push rashists with minimal foreign aid, but everything beyond May is the result of the western assistance led by the United States. I would like to thank all Americans and Fellow Europeans for saving my life and the lives millions of us 🙏 God bless you people

Hope to see you all on the victory day in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk and of course Crimea 😇

When you have to recruit criminals to fight a dirty way you've already lost.

"Tactical nukes don't affect the strategic situation" yes, in literal terms as well.

I am from Odessa. Thank you people from around the world for ongoing support of our country. You are saving our lives and the future of the Ukrainian nation 🙏🏻💛💙

The ironic part is now Russia will have a fairly large country on its borders that will be hostile for generations and will join NATO at some point as well. Also the reputation of the Russian military is now tarnished for the foreseeable future as well.

This could possibly be considered one of the worst military defeats in modern history.

[trevermcdonald]

Looking at the disorganized manner in which Russian troops live, haphazard storage of equipment and ammunition and the general filth in which they appear quite happy, clearly demonstrates the caliber and quality of the Russian military. Russia is not a world power, its an embarrassment.

Oh I hope there is a "terrible, painful retreat" in the very near future!

Petraeus said he predicted a terrible retreat and defeat of russia. Now that was 9 months ago. Could you bring him back to give us an update?.

[Legendarychamp]

I just want to say Thank You to all of the foreign fighters that left their families to fight in Ukraine.

Putin: collapse of Soviet Union was a catastrophe
Also Putin: collapses Russia

[othmarbrunner]

it is hard to believe that to this day there are still people out there whose egos will do anything even killing innocent people
good will always prevail and the man responsible for this butchery will see his day

[andyandy]

Can't believe they are saying all this with a straight face.

[glendaclark]

Yes. Ukraine deserves and has proven they membership in NATO. It should be an honor to have this brave country as a membership.

I’m from Kharkiv, currently in Vienna. My grandma still in Ukraine, I worry for her everyday and i thank the Western nations for supporting us and helping us not fall, and even gain back. We must win the war, so the democratic nations can live in a safer world in the future! Thanks again to you all guys!

Stripping personnel and equipment from the training bases is like cutting your feet off during a footrace.

[forever]

It is all defunct Sir, I can't find a strategy of statergic withdraw.

[davidhooks]

This is amazing
A few months ago I thought the Ukrainians were fighting an unwinnable fight
God bless those people

[Dlv]

Their fighting spirit is amazing.Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Zelensky

[jacqloock]

A painful long winter retreat to Moscow… say, have I heard that somewhere before?

[gtcollection]

When "formers" are used for PR it's obvious we're talking about another Ghost Of Kiev here. Welcome to endless non-sense
