One would have thought that the village name "Ukrainka" would have given the invaders a hint that this was not Russia.

To me it is amazing how a deadly crisis can bring out the strength of a leader while I saw other leaders in my life time crumble. Zelensky held up very well thus far.

[snowdogthewolf]

I'll say this much, Ukraine will make one hell of an addition to NATO. They are wolverines through and through, awesome friends to have. As Russia has demonstrated, Ukraine is a horrible enemy to have too.

[marklittler]

To think the world would sit back and tolerate such an invasion was demented.

[pilaf]

the only choice is to continue the war, don't say impossible things, let's focus on the battle

[pauldonahue]

I thought for sure Zelensky would've been killed by now. I couldn't be happier to have been wrong

I admire Ukraine so much! They will win and free their country soon! Respect, from the US! 🇺🇸🇺🇦

[floominggonzo]

He will go down in history as one of the greatest war hero.
