I remember watching her help those people on the bridge, her kindness while talking with them. Her and her team’s reporting was crucial to getting early support for Ukraine and for educating those of us who weren’t up to speed on anything.

Clarissa is one of the most iconic journalists of this generation. She’s been on the ground for so many huge moments in the past few years.

Clarissa Ward is one of the bravest women I've ever seen. Thanks to you Clarissa for being feet on the ground in Ukraine to tell their story and bring their news to the World. You are ever in my prayers and in my heart. ✨️ 💙 ✨️ 💛

Ukraine has earned much respect. The russians have earned contempt.

The anguished look on the faces of the elderly, and the way Clarissa was talking to them and helping them, still brings me to tears.

Power to Ukraine. There is no respect for Russia in the world anymore.

My unforgettable iconic moment from the beginning of the war is the old lady berating a Russian soldier telling him to carry sunflower seeds on his pocket so that flowers will grow when he is killed. So much bravery!

Clarissa is a giant in the field of journalism!

Clarissa, you helped in so many ways. Thank you.

Pres Zed won me over when he said, " We hang pictures of our children inside our homes, not Dictators."

"I need ammo and not a ride"- the most iconic quote in 2022, perhaps a one liner that changed the course of history

[fgadenz]

Unforgettable! One of the most iconic scenes of the news coverage of this war! Thank you Clarissa Ward for your brave commitment to report and for your kindness during that specific situation!
May this report be an example for the future humans, of the last war… happy and peaceful new year!

Zelenskiyy is the hero of the century, of our lives. I admire so much about him. An exceptional leader fighting a dwarfish tyrant Putin who is hell-bent on destroying Ukraine. May Ukraine win their peace and freedom soon. Slava Ukraini!!

[ChosenOne]

The Ukrainian army are LEGENDARY. They brought Russian down to their knees to beg for peace. Never show weakness and destroy the enemy.

[maximeprometheas]

Clarissa Ward is my absolute heroine, as are all the other frontline journalists, be it at CNN or elsewhere. I salute you!

[mattmayo]

[JeffreyGoddin]

We forgot about Crimea too soon, so he tried to take more. Let this be a lesson, if the world desires peace, there can be zero tolerance of attempts to take territory by force.

[sergiydekhtyar]

Thank you very much for all the support you have done for Ukraine.
