He is just one in a million interviewed people who dares tell the truth. Salute his bravery.

This Man is currently living on borrowed time because he is brave enough to speak the truth against a Psychopath

Ekaterina is a hero for her people! Taking a stand and speaking out against the ruthless meaningless aggression. May she stay safe and continue her great work!

We owe a big thanks to every journalist who are risking their lives for us to get the news.

Very brave and sadly his bravery might be the end of him. Whatever happens to him, at least he's going with dignity, something Putin doesn't have or never had.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

I have co-wokers Russian, Ukrainians, myself being Moldovian. We are all heartbroken.

[Rickonytube]

It only takes a couple brave people to speak the truth.

It reminds me of the time when I was a young child in South Africa and our state news outlets kept us in the dark with their propoganda around apartheid.

We were led to believe that everything around us was normal and that for example that black South Africans didn't like swimming. As a swimmer for many years I never realized they were actually banned from public pools.

Can you imagine my fascination and confusion the first day that law was lifted? I saw a grown woman in her regular clothes playing in the swimming pool. She calmly watched how her hands moved through the water. I realized how deprived a group of people were for so many years and I was oblivious to it.

This is not good, I can tell you people don't recover from the mistrust in each other and walls that are build between them due to propoganda.

We have the right not to be lied to. If you want war\apartheid own it publicly don't hide it and make us all culprits.

We are praying for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters. I'm so glad the mother and baby are okay. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Ekaterina is amazing. She is a powerful voice for justice and a bright light in such a dark time!

I've always considered myself a fearless brave type of individual but man I got a lot to learn about real bravery. Knowing what Russia is like, especially right now, to be on Russian State TV and condemn the war like that takes the heart of a Lion. I really wish Russian people would somehow be able to free themselves from the tyranny they live in. Some of the nicest people I've ever met were Russian. Some of the bravest. A beautiful culture. It's just horrible that they're led by a guy like Putin and these Oligarchs that have the world on the brink of a world war. Governments aside, no citizens of any of these countries truly want what their governments are doing and we'll be the ones that suffer if a war breaks out.

joseph goebbels once said “you can make people believe anything if you repeat it enough”

The look of fear the other guys have on their face is priceless

She is wonderful journalist, I’m Ukrainian, and I adore her a lot. Beautiful soul, highly intelligent!!!

My Grandfather survived World Special Operation 2. He spent the rest of his life with Special Operation Wounds and shrapnel in him . He spent much of World Special Operation 2 hunting down Nazis, being in Military Intelligence. He will be turning in his grave knowing that another World Special Operation is looming and indeed a Ukrainian Special Operation is already underway.

Thankfully no'one in my family had to fight in Vietnam Special Operation, and as my late Father was employed as a young man making aircraft that could be used in Special Operation-fare, (having witnessed and encountered World Special Operation rapid descent tube munitions as a young boy) he was not sent to Special Operation zones after World Special Operation 2.

My mother was actually rescued from a hole in the roof during a V1 rapid winged munition vehicle descent event explosion during World Special Operation 2 as a young child.

I hope Putin realizes that the world doesn't actually want any more World Special Operations & that subjecting his subjects to Psychological Special Operation- fare has perhaps weakened rather than strengthened his people & made them more vulnerable to Economic Special Operation-fare like trade bans & sanctions & seized assets & travel bans/restrictions.

Particularly unusual because he's of the older generation. Bravo! Also surprised that Ekaterina along with the 'Rain' crew have not been punished alongside all those street protestors. Нет войне!

[ogathingo]

God protect and bless courageous peoples in Russia! These brave trueth speaking people shows there hope of

One lie needs a thousand lies wrapped around it to keep it from disintegrating but truth is a foundation that community can build on
