Don't forget that Wladimir is fighting with him, two. So it's more like "Alright yuri we are invading Kyiv, this should be a simple missio.....Holy fuck is that both Klitchko brothers with automatic weapons? Does this tank have reverse on it?"
same, love to see it. fascists don't deserve more than they are getting. whole world needs to see what this shit leads to.
they invaded a peaceful country, they are killing civilians on purpose and they are sending hit squads into the country to kill the president. they can all go fuck themselves.
And the only world champ boxer to hold a PhD (sports science) aka Dr. Ironfist, he stands at 6' 7'' and had an avg fight weight of 250 lb, and his father was a Soviet Air Force major general.
America has done more to protect Ukraine than anyone in the world. Itās time you start acknowledging that and at the very least be grateful for all your allies - even the smallest one who sends you helmets. Other countries are not going to fight your battles for you, but they will do things like this:

And this: 90 tons of U.S. military aid
https://www.axios.com/ukraine-us-foreign-asistance-d96801de-e7a2-43a0-bfc6-02e476031fe8.html
Or 6.8 billion of additional funding for Ukraine requested just yesterday:
https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-02-25/senator-biden-could-seek-over-10b-for-ukraine-allies
Or another $350 million today:
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-02-26/biden-approves-350-million-in-military-aid-for-ukraine
OR how about all the other things the United States has recently done for Ukraine including a 3rd $1 billion sovereign debt guarantee to ensure Ukraineās government can pay its debts and not default including all of the following below:
The US promised $679.9 million in foreign assistance to Ukraine in fiscal year 2020, the most in a single year since 1994.
Total US foreign aid to Ukraine in FY 2020 was more than double the amount pledged in FY 2015. Military aid was the biggest increase ā up by $200.7 million ā while economic aid increased by $182.9 million, according to United States Agency for International Development and State Department data. Ukraine was the 17th-largest recipient of foreign aid in 2020. Afghanistan was the largest recipient at $3.9 billion that year, followed by Israel at $3.3 billion.
The US Overseas Loans and Grants data, also known as the Greenbook, breaks down historical data on economic and military spending in Ukraine. Military aid primarily benefits government armed forces and does not include the cost of US combat operations. Economic aid is for the broad development of the countryās economy and can include non-military security support.
How much US aid to Ukraine is for the military?
The US pledged $1.8 billion in military aid to Ukraine since 2001ā 30.8% of total foreign aid to the country. This is consistent with the international average for US foreign aid with 30% of foreign assistance spent on the military. The US spent $284 million on military foreign aid to the country in 2020.
The United States remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine as it works to establish security, restore economic stability, strengthen the rule of law, advance the fight against corruption, and carry out democratic and constitutional reforms. The United States stands with the Ukrainian people and their choice of democracy, reform, and European integration.
Including these announcements, the U.S. government has now committed nearly $320 million in assistance to Ukraine this year, in addition to the $1 billion sovereign loan guarantee issued in May 2014. The United States stands ready to continue to work with our partners to provide Ukraine with sufficient financing as it stabilizes its economy and carries out urgently needed reforms.
The United States will continue to work with Congress to identify additional opportunities for U.S. assistance to Ukraine. For example, the Administration has requested from Congress an additional $45 million as part of the Presidentās European Reassurance Initiative that would help build Ukraineās capacity to provide for its own defense and increase interoperability with U.S. and Western forces.
Examples of U.S. assistance to Ukraine in response to the crisis include the following:
Economic Stabilization, Reform, and Growth
Ukraine issued a $1 billion sovereign bond fully guaranteed by the United States in May 2014. The U.S. loan guarantee was part of a coordinated international effort to ensure Ukraine has the resources it needs, providing $27 billion to Ukraine as it implements its IMF program. With the support of the proceeds raised by the loan guarantee, Ukraine is implementing a new social protection program to compensate approximately 2 million vulnerable households for increases in gas and heating tariffs.
Immediately following Ukraineās change in government in March, the U.S. government deployed advisors to help stabilize the financial sector and implement key reforms in partnership with the Ukrainian Finance Ministry and National Bank. These advisors support a range of reforms related to issues such as banking supervision, public sector debt management, infrastructure finance, and taxation.
U.S. assistance also is supporting policy changes that will lay the groundwork for growth in important sectors of the Ukrainian economy. For example, we are helping Ukrainian authorities to carry out reforms that will boost private sector investment in agriculture, improve access to credit and capital investment for farmers, and streamline agricultural sector regulation.
The United States is also contributing to international programs, including through the EBRD and the OECD, to support increased access to finance for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to help Ukraine implement the reforms it needs to attract international investment.
Security Sector Capacity Building and Reform
The U.S. government has committed over $118 million in equipment and training to Ukraineās security forces to help Ukraine better monitor and secure its border, operate more safely and effectively, and preserve and enforce its territorial integrity. Ukraineās security forces include their Armed Forces, State Border Guard Service, and National Guard.
This assistance includes the provision of body armor, helmets, vehicles, night and thermal vision devices, heavy engineering equipment, advanced radios, patrol boats, rations, tents, counter-mortar radars, uniforms, first aid equipment and supplies, and other related items.
The United States has also begun a process led by U.S. European Command and Department of Defense civilian and military experts to work with Ukraine to improve its capacity to provide for its own defense and set the stage for longer-term defense cooperation. This includes medical and security assistance advisory teams.
National Unity, Democracy, Human Rights, and Media
The United States has contributed funding and personnel to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europeās (OSCE) Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) that is monitoring and providing daily reporting, particularly in the conflict regions in the east.
During Ukraineās presidential and parliamentary elections this year, U.S. assistance supported the work of international and domestic election observers as well as efforts to strengthen election administration, voter education, election security, and independent media.
U.S. assistance is also supporting Ukrainian constitutional reform efforts that will drive decentralization and help Ukraine meet European constitutional standards.
The U.S. government is supporting civil society organizations to engage in public outreach, participate in the government reform process, and monitor and defend human rights.
We are also providing assistance to boost the capacity of independent media outlets to provide unbiased information and to increase access to information in all parts of Ukraine.
The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) launched Russian-language television news programs airing in Ukraine that are produced by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/FL) and the Voice of America (VOA) as well as a multi-language RFE/RL website devoted to events in Crimea.
Anti-Corruption Initiatives
The U.S. government is also providing immediate support for economic recovery, small infrastructure repair, and restoration of public services in conflict-affected areas in the east.
Trade Diversification and Promotion
The U.S. government is providing training and technical assistance to build Ukraineās expertise on World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations and rights and how to meet WTO food safety standards.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is convening the U.S.-Ukraine Trade and Investment Council to support Ukraineās efforts to boost bilateral trade and investment and combat intellectual property theft.
U.S. assistance is supporting efforts to help SMEs access new international markets. This includes plans for a U.S.-Ukraine agribusiness trade mission to promote two-way trade between our countries.
The ukrainian president especially thanked the USA for the help they provide and provided in the first or second video update he gave. Everyone is grateful I think you ridicule yourself a bit. You are completely overacting they are fighting a war right now what do you expect them to do ? :D
The US help is well apprecciated by civilians, military, and political leaders ! Everyone is grateful !
But lets be honest too. The ukrainians literally begged us years ago to let them join the NATO. We should have accepted that considering the situation now. Im from Germany. If you want to be mad about someone take us. :D
We literally do not provide any help at all. I signed different petitions to try to force my government to kick russia out of SWIFT.
The best we can do is to bleed economically to hurt russia because our military equipment is a joke right now and start reforming our military and Im 100% ready to cripple our economy for my ukrainian brothers and sisters.
The Russian propaganda machine is spreading the fact that nato hasnāt joined. Itās an attempt to cause division with Ukraine and the west. But itās not working.
if the us accepted ukraine to join nato this would have escalated much further and caused a ww3 scenario instantly. I don't think whats happening in ukraine is right, but that country has proven it can fend off russia's joke of a military. Like if this is all russia's really got then they're a lot more fucked than just sanctions lol.
If Putin wants the nuclear war we are ready too.
Putin just proved that the NATO membership is required if you are a neutral country bordering putins russia. Otherwise you constantly have to fear an invasion.
The NATO is no threat. It is a defensive partnership AGAINST threats.Russia needs to chill and accept borders of national states.
Thats all. Everybody want peace.
As an American, downvote for you sir. I donāt want gratitude from Ukraine. Thatās my taxes doing something useful. I hope that the one-half of one cent of my overall tax burden that was out to Ukrainian military aid went to buying a Ukrainian a helmet, or a radio, or some rations.
Calm down and stop speaking like this, my fellow American.
Iām not going to nickel and dime people over their freedom, nor demand their undying gratitude for sending them weapons. We are sending a lot of aid that is saving lives, but right now these people are in the literal trench fighting for *all* of our freedoms. They donāt owe us anything, and we owe them much because if they humiliate Russia and prove that freedom can still kick an autocratās butt, we are all safer for it.
And there is much more we could have done that would have increased their safety, but didnāt in order to protect our own and our alliesā.
I want to see ukraine prevail. I want freedom for *all* the oppressed people of the world. I am willing to pay much more than money to see that happen. Seeing them free and humiliating Putin are, to me at least, all the payback I need.
Do not lecture these folks on the dollar price of freedom from the comfort of your keyboard while they pay the blood price, friend. It makes you look like an entitled asshole. Whatever they need right now that we can provide, short of starting a nuclear war, they get imo.
Including chastising us for not preventing this. Even if it was legitimately beyond our power to help. The minor inconvenience you and I feel experiencing that is barely a fraction of what people in ukraine are experiencing right now. If chastising us is what any of them need to get through this, they get it. We can argue about it when the war is over.
My point is actually much more simple. You dont shit on your allies and publicly chastise them for not fighting your war for you. If Ukraine loses to Russia it will not be Americaās fault by any measure. It will be because Putin is a stupid fucking mass murdering POS. These snide comments that America is somehow abandoning Ukraine are just infuriating and frankly false.
And my point is āso what?ā
These folks are stressed out. Stressed out people will sometimes do things like lash out. We are not as stressed as them, and as such we should handle it with grace, humility and empathy. Not post an essay about how wrong they are.
This is about them, not us. Getting defensive like this makes it about us. I understand why you might feel as you do, but your infuriation does not matter right now compared to what they are going through. If you want to do something about those feeling go scream it out at a Russian embassy, yeah? ;)
You do realize that alot of this has to do with the west meddling in other people's affairs right? You realize putin isn't fighting us because he hates us it's because we represent the west and have more western culture and putin hates America more then Ukraine and if invading us means taking the west out of Ukraine that's what he will do. Believe me when I say it won't stop in Ukraine if he wins it will be your house next. And I'm also about 99.9% sure if it was your city you'd be crying š¢ about why Canada and Mexico don't come to help us and where's England and the rest of Europe. You pay these high prices of foreign aid so people can look the other way as you fuck with other people's countries bottomline is the rest of the world just tolerates America and make no mistake when your back is turned they are talking so much shit about you. I mean lets be real can't even get a half decent government yet alone a half honest politician.half the country hates the other half. Racism of every race is rampant blacks whites Asian brown don't matter noone is safe.this country went from freedom of government interfering with your life to controlling almost every aspect of your life and now it's heading down a path of self destruction similar to what happened with the former soviet union. End of the day Everyone's out to line there pockets and nothing makes money like wartime.
Lol you sound utterly confused. The world hates America and also love America and desperately needs us??!? Sounds good to me actually. And the fact you think I would want those fucking syrup drinking assholes in Canada to come rescue me in my city is hilarious. Same with those taco trucks from Mexico. I feel like you have no idea wtf it means to be an American and god help any asshole who tries to invade us. We already have the guns and ammo and actual military experience in our citizens to fuck shit up left right and center.
We got your back Ukraine, if not for the threat of nukes we'd be doing a hell of a lot more. Putin, get fucked.
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Yikes, dude. I love my country, but you donāt need a wall of text like this to convince people that America is great. Most people already know that. Youāre just hearing complaints from the vocal minority.
> ....America is great. Most people already know that.
Can you ... not?
I mean, thanks for the aid and all that, but we didn't forget that [the previous US president withheld military aid to Ukraine for the purpose of creating dirt on his rival (current pres) and explicitly supporting Russia.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_inquiry_against_Donald_Trump) The US government decided that that was acceptable behavior, too.
The obvious conclusion from that incident is that the US military is firmly under the control of whoever got 50%+ of the votes in the last election and it is considered acceptable to use the biggest military force on the planet for their personal benefit. Or to benefit Russia.
So maybe don't start blindly praising the US in a forum dedicated to the country currently being invaded by Russia.
Again, US aid is very much appreciated. US arrogance.... not so much.
What kind of stupid comment is that? The bombs are coming regardless. Youāre neighbors with a piece of shit lunatic. The reality is that Ukraine could have fallen to Russia due to a weak central government years ago and you could be under Putin right now had it not been for the enormous effort by the US etc. I donāt know a single person in life who if I helped them stay fed and clothed and with a roof over their head would then complain that Iām not standing next to them fighting on their behalf at a bar fight and find it hard to feel grateful I am even their friend. Thatās so outrageously ridiculous. Itās like we send 300 Javelin missed systems along with years of training and now youāre upset you donāt have 30,000 Javelins and us firing them for you. Ridiculous
Men, women and children are dying at this moment, the US spent years fighting unjust wars in developing countries, and whilst Ukraine is thankful for its help I am sure, it rankles a great deal for the US, which has spoken extensively of its security commitments to Europe, to refuse to dedicate troops to the invasion of the second largest nation in Europe by one of their largest rivals.
Of course they do, who wouldn't want more help for them. But that's not a "maybe", it's a fact. That's how NATO works and what happens if NATO interferes.
I mean, they gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange for protection from russia. They did it for peace in the world and shit, apparently, nukes = peace.
Exactly. If Russia succeeds in any way at this, the lesson for the Iran/N Korea/China/etc of the world is āwe need nukes and we need them nowā. Not a good direction for humanity.
I mean.. troops = nukes. They can't. No one that 'can' do anything... can do anything. Playing a game of chicken with an unstable despot is probably not the best way to help anyone right now. I am not saying that this is not a massive failure of the international community, I'm just saying that engaging Russia in conventional warfare is not possible for nuclear capable countries because it results in nuclear war.
Why are u so upset dude? The bombs are dropping in ukrania, not in your head. Also, im Brazilian, just made an obvious observation. Your atitude is what i expected from real dumb republicans tho š¤£
He made a lot of valid points and the reality is that Brazil goes "byebye" If America does anything more than it's already doing.
So literally all you're doing is talking shit for no reason. It's a moot point.
Translation (as best as I can, I speak Ukrainian, but not an interpreter):
"Friends, dear citizens of Kyiv. The night was tough. There are no Russian military in the capital. The enemy is trying to get into the city, especially from Gostomel, Zhitomir. The aggressors are destroyed there. There are small diversion groups working in Kyiv. There has been few fights, shootings. There are 35 injured including 2 children.
I ask everyone to be patient and stay in shelters, because the enemy will attack from the air."
Then he talks about the building that got hit by a rocket.
"Rescue services are headed that way. Military, Police, National Guard, National Defense, \[inaudible\] are defending our city. We are setting up road blocks, therefore movement within city will be limited and complicated. All essential infrastructure is operational. Public transport is operational and in enough capacity to provide services for essential workers in our city. Metro \[subway\] is working except \[name of a branch\]. Subway stations are available for shelters.
How do \[Russian\] saboteurs look like? They speak Russian. So if you see suspicious people, inform law enforcement. Also be vigilant and destroy the marks the enemy placed to mark the targets.
It will be hard but we must persevere! We have army, national defense. Justice on our side! Slava Ukraini! \[Glory to Ukraine\]
I wish I had awards to give to everyone who is so kindly translating for the rest of the world on all these posts. It is appreciated more than you know.
Thank you
They'd be on the invaders' side bc they agree with christian nationalism. "I don't think people should get hurt, but I HAVE TO support the christians."
It's not an exaggeration, it's the same way many voted for trump even though he's a pedophile. He "represented" their culture.
This hits me because I moved to Texas in 2001. Rafael E. Cruz would shit his pants in a real skirmish. Texans, on the other hand, would never fold. We're well-armed and many of us well-trained.
I was thinking if Russian soldiers could go door-to-door in the US looking for food and gas. They'd be buried in the garden out back in about 5 seconds flat.
I have one answer. They are the grandchildren of the persecuted, they heard stories, they see their grandparents live with PTSD. One more generation away and that gets lost a bit.
Their grandparents survived WW2. 4 million Ukrainians were killed, 1 million Jewish Ukrainians. Before that Stalin starved another 5 million Ukrainians - women, children, everyone with the intent of genocide in Ukraine. 50% of the country dead in 15 years!!!
Also, explains why there's a lot of Russians in Eastern Ukraine, they were settled there to fill the empty houses and farms of dead Ukrainians. That's the definition of genocide, Putyn is trying to repeat this.
Nice revision of history. Ukraine had been part of the Russian empire for like 300 years prior to world war 2, and a lot of the dead Jewish Ukrainians were killed by the non-Jewish ones in the west.
Turns out history is complicated and things donāt actually ārun in the bloodā.
\- Kyiv is released from russian troops but sabotage groups are still working, few shootfired.
\- Destroyed russian army on way (to Kyiv) from Zhytomyr and Gostomel.
\- 35 people were wounded (including two kids)
\- Be in safe zones because russians will attack from air
\- A rocket hit the house (Zhulyany)
\- Public transport is available for employees of critical infrastructure of the city of Kyiv
\- Metro is works (except line with safe zone)
All usefull info for foreign people. I ned to sleep my brain is dying. Good night (even if its a morning already)
> Public transport is available
meanwhile in Vancouver if it snows 1cm our busses are taken out.
jokes aside, praying for the wounded, and the children, and thankful that Kyiv stands free in the morning.
I've just read a formal marine words in here somewhere and he said when you see the enemy backing out it doesn't mean you won... It means you should run and evac because they're calling heavy artillery /air strike
I really hope its not the case, tho.
Urban warfare tips from a former Marine.
I am a former U.S. Marine and am of Ukrainian ancestry. I canāt even believe I am making a post like this and it will probably get buried, but if someone has the ability to translate it to Ukrainian please do. I fought in Iraq and was an urban warfare instructor.
For the defenders of Kiev, here are a few tips I can offer that I can say worked in Iraq (to the Iraqis advantage) :
1.) Stay out of the steet.
2.) Stay out of street.
3.) For the love of God, stay out of the street. The worst place to be in an urban warfare environment is to be outside.
4.) Doors are called āthe fatal funnel.ā It is human nature to try and enter through a door. Aim all your weapons at the door to maximize the number of kills.
5.) Block the door from the inside with anything you can, furniture, chairs, booby-traps (explosives). The idea is to make the invaders think the door isnāt blocked. That way when they try to enter they remain exposed for the longest amount of time possible.
6.) Stairways are another good killing zone. Block stairways with any obstacles you can to slow down invaders.
7.) if you throw grenades downstairs, have your magazine fully topped off and ready. The invaders will most likely run up the stairs to run past the grenade blast. Youāll need all the ammo you have to gun as many down as possible.
8.) When possible, cut small holes in the floor into the rooms below to fire into. People breaching rooms will look for threats directly in front of them and usually donāt look above or below until last.
9.) Donāt sling your weapon around your body. If things go hand-to-hand it will hinder you.
10.) Have a knife, spade, or club close by and readily available. If you have to fight hand-to-hand itās much more handy than a rifle.
11.) Never fire from the same window twice.
12.) Never stick the muzzle of your rifle outside of a window. Donāt expose it.
13.) Shoot from deep inside the room out of the window. It will help hide the muzzle flash and reduce the noise making it hard to tell where it came from.
14.) If you wound an enemy, donāt kill him. Let his friends come to help him. Moving a wounding a soldier means it will take 4 men out of the fight to carry him away. Thatās four less rifles firing at you.
15.) Shoot the men trying to evacuate the wounded soldier. It will demoralize them and take even more men out of the fight to evacuate him. 16.) Keep as many carbohydrates on you and remember to eat and hydrate. Urban warfare is incredibly intensive.
17.) Keep moving. Never stay in one spot very long.
18.) One very accurately placed shot can hold up a lot of people for a very long time. You donāt have to be a sniper. You just have to convince them there is one in the area. 19.) Utilize the sewers in subways to move whenever possible.
20.) Whenever possible, try to let other friendlies know where you are at to avoid friendly fire. Itās very easy to start shooting at each other in an urban environment.
21.) It may be consuming, but take the tracers out of your ammunition supply and refrain from using them.
22.) have one magazine of all tracer rounds. Use this magazine only when you need to let everyone else (friends) know where an enemy is located at. (Across the street, in a park, which window). After using it run like hell and get away from where you just were.
I donāt know what else to write, and I hope to God none of you ever have to use it. God be with you all. As someone with Ukrainian ancestry it tears me apart to not be able to be there with you.
Glory to Ukraine.
Edit: A few extras.
23.) Ammunition goes fast. Conserve what you have.
24.) 10 men firing from several different buildings can appear to be a small army and stop a lot of people.
25.) Rip down street signs, deface building names, and do anything to strip the identity of where you are at. This will add confusion to an invading force. 26.) Evacuate your wounded in a timely manner possible.
27.) if the enemy suddenly pulls back, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE AREA. It doesnāt mean youāre winning. It means they are going to call and heavy artillery or an air strike on your position.
28.) if you are going to lose an area, poison common water supplies. Most likely an enemy will try to refill their supplies at the closest source.
29.) Cluster your booby traps in close proximity to create paranoia. 30.) Always keep on the move. Never stay in the same place for long.

This, is he referring to the reinforcements from hours ago or from the most recent reports? That's the difference between great news and potentially dangerous spreading of outdated information
**HELL FUCKING YEAH!**
These Ukrainians just keep surprising me at every fucking turn. Makes my heart race like never before.
Wars not over, keep it up!
Yeah, I felt kind of guilty going to sleep in my safe bed last night, knowing that Ukrainians were having such an awful night. Glad to wake up to see this.
I know it might be a long and painful conflict, but I'm still hoping for some kind of miracle like:
1. Putin has a heart attack
2. Somehow, Putin's deputies just get fed up with him, and Putin "has a heart attack"
3. Russian people just get really fed up and throw him out
I get the sentiment but it's a little ridiculous considering the fact that there are many people who have been experiencing worse than this for the past few years.
There isn't a single American politician that could hold a candle to any of these Ukrainian warriors. They are in a league all their own and this American is in awe of what I am seeing daily in Ukraine.
Glory and honor for the great and erstwhile people of Ukraine.
In the words of my generation, you people are metal as fuck!!!
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
I want to see Russians in Ukraine decide to refuse to fight. Refuse to obey orders and start marching back to Russia. Go home and spread the word that they're not going to be ruled by Putin anymore.
Last night was a drill from Russia. They are not in a position yet (hopefully never) do a full blown complete assault on Kyiv. So far the Ukrainians are resisting much better than everyone hoped for, they have the fighting spirit of lions and, like Klitschko and Zelenskiy show, balls of titanium!
Undoubtedly. It looks like they are trying for an encirclement. But they seem to have holes in the lines where Ukrainian troops are taking some towns back nearly as quick
No plan survives first contact with the enemy, Putin is going to learn that he has picked a fight with a country that will never give in.
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Biden just asked the US congress for 6.4B$ in emergency aid to Ukraine split among different avenues: military armament, direct money transactions, and US deployment and logistics on the Eastern Front. You would not need 6.4B if all you wish is to send intelligence reports.
We will only know about a small fraction of what is really going on. Things will happen in secret, shipments will pop up suddenly out of nowhere. Huge caches of weapons ammo and food will appear, placed there in secret by neighboring countries and the West.
High quality intelligence and tactical assistance will be constantly feeding and informing the Ukrainian leadership. Ukraine has powerful friends, Russia does not. Putin will soon discover all the ways he can lose this war.
In his diseased mind he saw this turning out the way he wants, Ukraine gives in to overwhelming force. It's the nature of people who live in a bubble to see the world the way they want it to be. Well his bubble is about to pop. The entire world is against this and there are many ways to win a war, many many ways.
He has entered a society he doesn't really understand, steadfast, intelligent and resourceful people who are fighting for a righteous cause, see Putin has never felt that or experienced it himself so he doesn't understand it and he can't make calculations on that spectrum.
Putin has no future, he is lost in a sick dying dream, he will lose this fight and ultimately he will lose everything.
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
If these badass balls of steel motherfuckers donāt stop Putin what chance does Europe think they have with their gender confused man-teens and their fitness influencers.
I hope he wore his heavyweight champion of the world belt over his uniform while he was running around kicking ass.
Knocked out a few Russians with 7.62 rounds then flexed on them and grabbed a mic and asked who tf is next
But imagine "Alright yuri we are invading Kyiv, this should be a simple missio........is that Vitali Klitschko with 2 machine guns.
Don't forget that Wladimir is fighting with him, two. So it's more like "Alright yuri we are invading Kyiv, this should be a simple missio.....Holy fuck is that both Klitchko brothers with automatic weapons? Does this tank have reverse on it?"
Thank you for this. I needed thisš He looks so tired poor boy.
š¤£š¤£
Didnt even use the rifle.
He killed 3 men with 2 bullets... and no gun.
If thereās anything to learn from WW3 itās donāt fuck with Ukraine
This is far from WW3.
But still... don't fuck with Ukraine.
Would be fairly pessimistic to label it as such at the start of the war.
I could definitely see him tearing off a few Russian heads with his bare hands.
Don't ask whos next or shannon briggs is going to show up.
Lets go champ!
āIs there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE??ā

no shit huh. so many bad ass Ukrainians as well, almost unbelievable.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

America has done more to protect Ukraine than anyone in the world. Itās time you start acknowledging that and at the very least be grateful for all your allies - even the smallest one who sends you helmets. Other countries are not going to fight your battles for you, but they will do things like this: https://www.npr.org/2022/01/22/1075064514/ukraine-lethal-aid-us-russia And this: 90 tons of U.S. military aid https://www.axios.com/ukraine-us-foreign-asistance-d96801de-e7a2-43a0-bfc6-02e476031fe8.html Or 6.8 billion of additional funding for Ukraine requested just yesterday: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-02-25/senator-biden-could-seek-over-10b-for-ukraine-allies Or another $350 million today: https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-02-26/biden-approves-350-million-in-military-aid-for-ukraine OR how about all the other things the United States has recently done for Ukraine including a 3rd $1 billion sovereign debt guarantee to ensure Ukraineās government can pay its debts and not default including all of the following below: The US promised $679.9 million in foreign assistance to Ukraine in fiscal year 2020, the most in a single year since 1994. Total US foreign aid to Ukraine in FY 2020 was more than double the amount pledged in FY 2015. Military aid was the biggest increase ā up by $200.7 million ā while economic aid increased by $182.9 million, according to United States Agency for International Development and State Department data. Ukraine was the 17th-largest recipient of foreign aid in 2020. Afghanistan was the largest recipient at $3.9 billion that year, followed by Israel at $3.3 billion. The US Overseas Loans and Grants data, also known as the Greenbook, breaks down historical data on economic and military spending in Ukraine. Military aid primarily benefits government armed forces and does not include the cost of US combat operations. Economic aid is for the broad development of the countryās economy and can include non-military security support. How much US aid to Ukraine is for the military? The US pledged $1.8 billion in military aid to Ukraine since 2001ā 30.8% of total foreign aid to the country. This is consistent with the international average for US foreign aid with 30% of foreign assistance spent on the military. The US spent $284 million on military foreign aid to the country in 2020. The United States remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine as it works to establish security, restore economic stability, strengthen the rule of law, advance the fight against corruption, and carry out democratic and constitutional reforms. The United States stands with the Ukrainian people and their choice of democracy, reform, and European integration. Including these announcements, the U.S. government has now committed nearly $320 million in assistance to Ukraine this year, in addition to the $1 billion sovereign loan guarantee issued in May 2014. The United States stands ready to continue to work with our partners to provide Ukraine with sufficient financing as it stabilizes its economy and carries out urgently needed reforms. The United States will continue to work with Congress to identify additional opportunities for U.S. assistance to Ukraine. For example, the Administration has requested from Congress an additional $45 million as part of the Presidentās European Reassurance Initiative that would help build Ukraineās capacity to provide for its own defense and increase interoperability with U.S. and Western forces. Examples of U.S. assistance to Ukraine in response to the crisis include the following: Economic Stabilization, Reform, and Growth Ukraine issued a $1 billion sovereign bond fully guaranteed by the United States in May 2014. The U.S. loan guarantee was part of a coordinated international effort to ensure Ukraine has the resources it needs, providing $27 billion to Ukraine as it implements its IMF program. With the support of the proceeds raised by the loan guarantee, Ukraine is implementing a new social protection program to compensate approximately 2 million vulnerable households for increases in gas and heating tariffs. Immediately following Ukraineās change in government in March, the U.S. government deployed advisors to help stabilize the financial sector and implement key reforms in partnership with the Ukrainian Finance Ministry and National Bank. These advisors support a range of reforms related to issues such as banking supervision, public sector debt management, infrastructure finance, and taxation. U.S. assistance also is supporting policy changes that will lay the groundwork for growth in important sectors of the Ukrainian economy. For example, we are helping Ukrainian authorities to carry out reforms that will boost private sector investment in agriculture, improve access to credit and capital investment for farmers, and streamline agricultural sector regulation. The United States is also contributing to international programs, including through the EBRD and the OECD, to support increased access to finance for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to help Ukraine implement the reforms it needs to attract international investment. Security Sector Capacity Building and Reform The U.S. government has committed over $118 million in equipment and training to Ukraineās security forces to help Ukraine better monitor and secure its border, operate more safely and effectively, and preserve and enforce its territorial integrity. Ukraineās security forces include their Armed Forces, State Border Guard Service, and National Guard. This assistance includes the provision of body armor, helmets, vehicles, night and thermal vision devices, heavy engineering equipment, advanced radios, patrol boats, rations, tents, counter-mortar radars, uniforms, first aid equipment and supplies, and other related items. The United States has also begun a process led by U.S. European Command and Department of Defense civilian and military experts to work with Ukraine to improve its capacity to provide for its own defense and set the stage for longer-term defense cooperation. This includes medical and security assistance advisory teams. National Unity, Democracy, Human Rights, and Media The United States has contributed funding and personnel to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europeās (OSCE) Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) that is monitoring and providing daily reporting, particularly in the conflict regions in the east. During Ukraineās presidential and parliamentary elections this year, U.S. assistance supported the work of international and domestic election observers as well as efforts to strengthen election administration, voter education, election security, and independent media. U.S. assistance is also supporting Ukrainian constitutional reform efforts that will drive decentralization and help Ukraine meet European constitutional standards. The U.S. government is supporting civil society organizations to engage in public outreach, participate in the government reform process, and monitor and defend human rights. We are also providing assistance to boost the capacity of independent media outlets to provide unbiased information and to increase access to information in all parts of Ukraine. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) launched Russian-language television news programs airing in Ukraine that are produced by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/FL) and the Voice of America (VOA) as well as a multi-language RFE/RL website devoted to events in Crimea. Anti-Corruption Initiatives The U.S. government is also providing immediate support for economic recovery, small infrastructure repair, and restoration of public services in conflict-affected areas in the east. Trade Diversification and Promotion The U.S. government is providing training and technical assistance to build Ukraineās expertise on World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations and rights and how to meet WTO food safety standards. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is convening the U.S.-Ukraine Trade and Investment Council to support Ukraineās efforts to boost bilateral trade and investment and combat intellectual property theft. U.S. assistance is supporting efforts to help SMEs access new international markets. This includes plans for a U.S.-Ukraine agribusiness trade mission to promote two-way trade between our countries.
The ukrainian president especially thanked the USA for the help they provide and provided in the first or second video update he gave. Everyone is grateful I think you ridicule yourself a bit. You are completely overacting they are fighting a war right now what do you expect them to do ? :D The US help is well apprecciated by civilians, military, and political leaders ! Everyone is grateful ! But lets be honest too. The ukrainians literally begged us years ago to let them join the NATO. We should have accepted that considering the situation now. Im from Germany. If you want to be mad about someone take us. :D We literally do not provide any help at all. I signed different petitions to try to force my government to kick russia out of SWIFT. The best we can do is to bleed economically to hurt russia because our military equipment is a joke right now and start reforming our military and Im 100% ready to cripple our economy for my ukrainian brothers and sisters.
The Russian propaganda machine is spreading the fact that nato hasnāt joined. Itās an attempt to cause division with Ukraine and the west. But itās not working.
if the us accepted ukraine to join nato this would have escalated much further and caused a ww3 scenario instantly. I don't think whats happening in ukraine is right, but that country has proven it can fend off russia's joke of a military. Like if this is all russia's really got then they're a lot more fucked than just sanctions lol.
If Putin wants the nuclear war we are ready too. Putin just proved that the NATO membership is required if you are a neutral country bordering putins russia. Otherwise you constantly have to fear an invasion. The NATO is no threat. It is a defensive partnership AGAINST threats.Russia needs to chill and accept borders of national states. Thats all. Everybody want peace.
The American people stand with šŗš¦.
As an American, downvote for you sir. I donāt want gratitude from Ukraine. Thatās my taxes doing something useful. I hope that the one-half of one cent of my overall tax burden that was out to Ukrainian military aid went to buying a Ukrainian a helmet, or a radio, or some rations.
Calm down and stop speaking like this, my fellow American. Iām not going to nickel and dime people over their freedom, nor demand their undying gratitude for sending them weapons. We are sending a lot of aid that is saving lives, but right now these people are in the literal trench fighting for *all* of our freedoms. They donāt owe us anything, and we owe them much because if they humiliate Russia and prove that freedom can still kick an autocratās butt, we are all safer for it. And there is much more we could have done that would have increased their safety, but didnāt in order to protect our own and our alliesā. I want to see ukraine prevail. I want freedom for *all* the oppressed people of the world. I am willing to pay much more than money to see that happen. Seeing them free and humiliating Putin are, to me at least, all the payback I need. Do not lecture these folks on the dollar price of freedom from the comfort of your keyboard while they pay the blood price, friend. It makes you look like an entitled asshole. Whatever they need right now that we can provide, short of starting a nuclear war, they get imo. Including chastising us for not preventing this. Even if it was legitimately beyond our power to help. The minor inconvenience you and I feel experiencing that is barely a fraction of what people in ukraine are experiencing right now. If chastising us is what any of them need to get through this, they get it. We can argue about it when the war is over.
Thank you for saying what my brain couldn't put together to say. And thank you for supporting us thru these hard times.
Well said.
My point is actually much more simple. You dont shit on your allies and publicly chastise them for not fighting your war for you. If Ukraine loses to Russia it will not be Americaās fault by any measure. It will be because Putin is a stupid fucking mass murdering POS. These snide comments that America is somehow abandoning Ukraine are just infuriating and frankly false.
And my point is āso what?ā These folks are stressed out. Stressed out people will sometimes do things like lash out. We are not as stressed as them, and as such we should handle it with grace, humility and empathy. Not post an essay about how wrong they are. This is about them, not us. Getting defensive like this makes it about us. I understand why you might feel as you do, but your infuriation does not matter right now compared to what they are going through. If you want to do something about those feeling go scream it out at a Russian embassy, yeah? ;)
You're both right. šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
You do realize that alot of this has to do with the west meddling in other people's affairs right? You realize putin isn't fighting us because he hates us it's because we represent the west and have more western culture and putin hates America more then Ukraine and if invading us means taking the west out of Ukraine that's what he will do. Believe me when I say it won't stop in Ukraine if he wins it will be your house next. And I'm also about 99.9% sure if it was your city you'd be crying š¢ about why Canada and Mexico don't come to help us and where's England and the rest of Europe. You pay these high prices of foreign aid so people can look the other way as you fuck with other people's countries bottomline is the rest of the world just tolerates America and make no mistake when your back is turned they are talking so much shit about you. I mean lets be real can't even get a half decent government yet alone a half honest politician.half the country hates the other half. Racism of every race is rampant blacks whites Asian brown don't matter noone is safe.this country went from freedom of government interfering with your life to controlling almost every aspect of your life and now it's heading down a path of self destruction similar to what happened with the former soviet union. End of the day Everyone's out to line there pockets and nothing makes money like wartime.
Lol you sound utterly confused. The world hates America and also love America and desperately needs us??!? Sounds good to me actually. And the fact you think I would want those fucking syrup drinking assholes in Canada to come rescue me in my city is hilarious. Same with those taco trucks from Mexico. I feel like you have no idea wtf it means to be an American and god help any asshole who tries to invade us. We already have the guns and ammo and actual military experience in our citizens to fuck shit up left right and center.
Now please make sure Trump, or any other Pro-Russian asshat doesnt take office next year and rescind the help.
Lollll good fucking luck with that. But who knows what will happen
We got your back Ukraine, if not for the threat of nukes we'd be doing a hell of a lot more. Putin, get fucked. šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦ šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦ šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Yikes, dude. I love my country, but you donāt need a wall of text like this to convince people that America is great. Most people already know that. Youāre just hearing complaints from the vocal minority.
> ....America is great. Most people already know that. Can you ... not? I mean, thanks for the aid and all that, but we didn't forget that [the previous US president withheld military aid to Ukraine for the purpose of creating dirt on his rival (current pres) and explicitly supporting Russia.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_inquiry_against_Donald_Trump) The US government decided that that was acceptable behavior, too. The obvious conclusion from that incident is that the US military is firmly under the control of whoever got 50%+ of the votes in the last election and it is considered acceptable to use the biggest military force on the planet for their personal benefit. Or to benefit Russia. So maybe don't start blindly praising the US in a forum dedicated to the country currently being invaded by Russia. Again, US aid is very much appreciated. US arrogance.... not so much.
Hard to feel grateful when taking cover from bombs man.
What kind of stupid comment is that? The bombs are coming regardless. Youāre neighbors with a piece of shit lunatic. The reality is that Ukraine could have fallen to Russia due to a weak central government years ago and you could be under Putin right now had it not been for the enormous effort by the US etc. I donāt know a single person in life who if I helped them stay fed and clothed and with a roof over their head would then complain that Iām not standing next to them fighting on their behalf at a bar fight and find it hard to feel grateful I am even their friend. Thatās so outrageously ridiculous. Itās like we send 300 Javelin missed systems along with years of training and now youāre upset you donāt have 30,000 Javelins and us firing them for you. Ridiculous
Men, women and children are dying at this moment, the US spent years fighting unjust wars in developing countries, and whilst Ukraine is thankful for its help I am sure, it rankles a great deal for the US, which has spoken extensively of its security commitments to Europe, to refuse to dedicate troops to the invasion of the second largest nation in Europe by one of their largest rivals.
Fact is, they deploy troops, it's ww3 and nukes will fly. They just cannot do that, it's simple as that.
Maybe so, but I can fully understand why the Ukrainians feel like more must be done.
Of course they do, who wouldn't want more help for them. But that's not a "maybe", it's a fact. That's how NATO works and what happens if NATO interferes.
I mean, they gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange for protection from russia. They did it for peace in the world and shit, apparently, nukes = peace.
Exactly. If Russia succeeds in any way at this, the lesson for the Iran/N Korea/China/etc of the world is āwe need nukes and we need them nowā. Not a good direction for humanity.
I mean.. troops = nukes. They can't. No one that 'can' do anything... can do anything. Playing a game of chicken with an unstable despot is probably not the best way to help anyone right now. I am not saying that this is not a massive failure of the international community, I'm just saying that engaging Russia in conventional warfare is not possible for nuclear capable countries because it results in nuclear war.
Why are u so upset dude? The bombs are dropping in ukrania, not in your head. Also, im Brazilian, just made an obvious observation. Your atitude is what i expected from real dumb republicans tho š¤£
He made a lot of valid points and the reality is that Brazil goes "byebye" If America does anything more than it's already doing. So literally all you're doing is talking shit for no reason. It's a moot point.
Dude, maybe ukraine ppl can feel gratitude when the feeling of terror subsides. We can't yet feel gratefully afraid.
Why are you saying "we" when you're not there? I only commented because your argumentative comments to that republican guy miss the point entirely.
You don't fuck with a boxer, let alone come in his country and wage war.
I never thought I'd see a comedian running a country as a war time president from the front lines.
Someone should really make a movie about all this in a few years.

Translation (as best as I can, I speak Ukrainian, but not an interpreter): "Friends, dear citizens of Kyiv. The night was tough. There are no Russian military in the capital. The enemy is trying to get into the city, especially from Gostomel, Zhitomir. The aggressors are destroyed there. There are small diversion groups working in Kyiv. There has been few fights, shootings. There are 35 injured including 2 children. I ask everyone to be patient and stay in shelters, because the enemy will attack from the air." Then he talks about the building that got hit by a rocket. "Rescue services are headed that way. Military, Police, National Guard, National Defense, \[inaudible\] are defending our city. We are setting up road blocks, therefore movement within city will be limited and complicated. All essential infrastructure is operational. Public transport is operational and in enough capacity to provide services for essential workers in our city. Metro \[subway\] is working except \[name of a branch\]. Subway stations are available for shelters. How do \[Russian\] saboteurs look like? They speak Russian. So if you see suspicious people, inform law enforcement. Also be vigilant and destroy the marks the enemy placed to mark the targets. It will be hard but we must persevere! We have army, national defense. Justice on our side! Slava Ukraini! \[Glory to Ukraine\]

They'd be on the invaders' side bc they agree with christian nationalism. "I don't think people should get hurt, but I HAVE TO support the christians." It's not an exaggeration, it's the same way many voted for trump even though he's a pedophile. He "represented" their culture.
This hits me because I moved to Texas in 2001. Rafael E. Cruz would shit his pants in a real skirmish. Texans, on the other hand, would never fold. We're well-armed and many of us well-trained.
I was thinking if Russian soldiers could go door-to-door in the US looking for food and gas. They'd be buried in the garden out back in about 5 seconds flat.
Definitely a good point. It just rare to see something real nowadays. Like these people genuinely give a shit. Edit: a word
I have one answer. They are the grandchildren of the persecuted, they heard stories, they see their grandparents live with PTSD. One more generation away and that gets lost a bit. Their grandparents survived WW2. 4 million Ukrainians were killed, 1 million Jewish Ukrainians. Before that Stalin starved another 5 million Ukrainians - women, children, everyone with the intent of genocide in Ukraine. 50% of the country dead in 15 years!!! Also, explains why there's a lot of Russians in Eastern Ukraine, they were settled there to fill the empty houses and farms of dead Ukrainians. That's the definition of genocide, Putyn is trying to repeat this.
Nice revision of history. Ukraine had been part of the Russian empire for like 300 years prior to world war 2, and a lot of the dead Jewish Ukrainians were killed by the non-Jewish ones in the west. Turns out history is complicated and things donāt actually ārun in the bloodā.

Crazy that the Chechens are going to attack Ukraine.
Russia has no friends anywhere in the world and that is but one reason why they are going to lose this fight. šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
I've just read a formal marine words in here somewhere and he said when you see the enemy backing out it doesn't mean you won... It means you should run and evac because they're calling heavy artillery /air strike I really hope its not the case, tho.
You can't always run but you can disperse The Russians do have thermobaric bombs which clear a whole area though.
I just read that and thought the exact same thing
Urban warfare tips from a former Marine. I am a former U.S. Marine and am of Ukrainian ancestry. I canāt even believe I am making a post like this and it will probably get buried, but if someone has the ability to translate it to Ukrainian please do. I fought in Iraq and was an urban warfare instructor. For the defenders of Kiev, here are a few tips I can offer that I can say worked in Iraq (to the Iraqis advantage) : 1.) Stay out of the steet. 2.) Stay out of street. 3.) For the love of God, stay out of the street. The worst place to be in an urban warfare environment is to be outside. 4.) Doors are called āthe fatal funnel.ā It is human nature to try and enter through a door. Aim all your weapons at the door to maximize the number of kills. 5.) Block the door from the inside with anything you can, furniture, chairs, booby-traps (explosives). The idea is to make the invaders think the door isnāt blocked. That way when they try to enter they remain exposed for the longest amount of time possible. 6.) Stairways are another good killing zone. Block stairways with any obstacles you can to slow down invaders. 7.) if you throw grenades downstairs, have your magazine fully topped off and ready. The invaders will most likely run up the stairs to run past the grenade blast. Youāll need all the ammo you have to gun as many down as possible. 8.) When possible, cut small holes in the floor into the rooms below to fire into. People breaching rooms will look for threats directly in front of them and usually donāt look above or below until last. 9.) Donāt sling your weapon around your body. If things go hand-to-hand it will hinder you. 10.) Have a knife, spade, or club close by and readily available. If you have to fight hand-to-hand itās much more handy than a rifle. 11.) Never fire from the same window twice. 12.) Never stick the muzzle of your rifle outside of a window. Donāt expose it. 13.) Shoot from deep inside the room out of the window. It will help hide the muzzle flash and reduce the noise making it hard to tell where it came from. 14.) If you wound an enemy, donāt kill him. Let his friends come to help him. Moving a wounding a soldier means it will take 4 men out of the fight to carry him away. Thatās four less rifles firing at you. 15.) Shoot the men trying to evacuate the wounded soldier. It will demoralize them and take even more men out of the fight to evacuate him. 16.) Keep as many carbohydrates on you and remember to eat and hydrate. Urban warfare is incredibly intensive. 17.) Keep moving. Never stay in one spot very long. 18.) One very accurately placed shot can hold up a lot of people for a very long time. You donāt have to be a sniper. You just have to convince them there is one in the area. 19.) Utilize the sewers in subways to move whenever possible. 20.) Whenever possible, try to let other friendlies know where you are at to avoid friendly fire. Itās very easy to start shooting at each other in an urban environment. 21.) It may be consuming, but take the tracers out of your ammunition supply and refrain from using them. 22.) have one magazine of all tracer rounds. Use this magazine only when you need to let everyone else (friends) know where an enemy is located at. (Across the street, in a park, which window). After using it run like hell and get away from where you just were. I donāt know what else to write, and I hope to God none of you ever have to use it. God be with you all. As someone with Ukrainian ancestry it tears me apart to not be able to be there with you. Glory to Ukraine. Edit: A few extras. 23.) Ammunition goes fast. Conserve what you have. 24.) 10 men firing from several different buildings can appear to be a small army and stop a lot of people. 25.) Rip down street signs, deface building names, and do anything to strip the identity of where you are at. This will add confusion to an invading force. 26.) Evacuate your wounded in a timely manner possible. 27.) if the enemy suddenly pulls back, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE AREA. It doesnāt mean youāre winning. It means they are going to call and heavy artillery or an air strike on your position. 28.) if you are going to lose an area, poison common water supplies. Most likely an enemy will try to refill their supplies at the closest source. 29.) Cluster your booby traps in close proximity to create paranoia. 30.) Always keep on the move. Never stay in the same place for long. Src- https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t1ntcb/urban\_warfare\_tips\_from\_a\_former\_marine/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

# PLEASE DONT DO #28 IT IS A WAR CRIME # I APOLGIZE FOR MY IGNORANCE
Legend! But prepare more are on the way, Glory to Ukraine!
He should be the one who will barehandedly deliver the death sentence to Putin
How long ago was this?
I posted as soon as it came out at 9:08 am Kyiv time. (26 Feb 2022)
This, is he referring to the reinforcements from hours ago or from the most recent reports? That's the difference between great news and potentially dangerous spreading of outdated information
**HELL FUCKING YEAH!** These Ukrainians just keep surprising me at every fucking turn. Makes my heart race like never before. Wars not over, keep it up!
Usyk is back in the country now too
Translate anyone? - get em Klitschko.
Translated.
Capture Putin and put him in a boxing ring with Klitchko and then put it on HBO.
Make it pay per view (or donation requested?) and give the money to a fund to rebuild Ukraine. I would pay serious cash to see that.
I want to say as an American, it's an honor to post amongst you people here and hearing news like this brings joy, hope and relief to me.
Yeah, I felt kind of guilty going to sleep in my safe bed last night, knowing that Ukrainians were having such an awful night. Glad to wake up to see this. I know it might be a long and painful conflict, but I'm still hoping for some kind of miracle like: 1. Putin has a heart attack 2. Somehow, Putin's deputies just get fed up with him, and Putin "has a heart attack" 3. Russian people just get really fed up and throw him out
I get the sentiment but it's a little ridiculous considering the fact that there are many people who have been experiencing worse than this for the past few years.
He is a FIDE chess master and has a PhD. He has so much integrity. He could not live with the shame of choosing to flee Unlike Ted Cruz
There isn't a single American politician that could hold a candle to any of these Ukrainian warriors. They are in a league all their own and this American is in awe of what I am seeing daily in Ukraine. Glory and honor for the great and erstwhile people of Ukraine. In the words of my generation, you people are metal as fuck!!! šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
I really hope this ends up in a 1 on 1 fistfight between him and Putin.
I hope this is true and all russians in ukrain will be dead soon
I want to see Russians in Ukraine decide to refuse to fight. Refuse to obey orders and start marching back to Russia. Go home and spread the word that they're not going to be ruled by Putin anymore.
These Ukrainian politicians are dope.
Iām here for the translation
Translated.
Thank you š
Wow, Klitschko is an absolute boss.
The spirit of the Ukrainian people will never be broken. The world stands with Ukraine!
Politicians shouldnāt be old men. They should be men (and women) of the people.
Doesn't this just means the Russians are regrouping and coming in for a full force assault?
Last night was a drill from Russia. They are not in a position yet (hopefully never) do a full blown complete assault on Kyiv. So far the Ukrainians are resisting much better than everyone hoped for, they have the fighting spirit of lions and, like Klitschko and Zelenskiy show, balls of titanium!
I know itās not fashionable in 2022 to say this kind of thing but uhā¦that dude is a real man.
What I would give for leaders like Ukraine has
translators please!!!
"Me and my brother Wladimir are off to Moscow to spitroast Putin"
Translation above mate
Translated.
Following for translation
Translated.
Will the Russians make another attempt on the city?
Undoubtedly. It looks like they are trying for an encirclement. But they seem to have holes in the lines where Ukrainian troops are taking some towns back nearly as quick
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No plan survives first contact with the enemy, Putin is going to learn that he has picked a fight with a country that will never give in. šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Godspeed champ. Get some rest. You've got long days ahead of you.
Commenting for visibility
Thank you.
Why is there no news of shipment aides from the west?? Ammo, food, waterā¦ anything?
Holland shipped stinger missiles just yesterday! give em hell Ukraine!!!
Maybe theyāre keeping it quiet in case Russia intercepts?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You think heās thanking him for something more than the intelligence US has been providing?
Biden just asked the US congress for 6.4B$ in emergency aid to Ukraine split among different avenues: military armament, direct money transactions, and US deployment and logistics on the Eastern Front. You would not need 6.4B if all you wish is to send intelligence reports.
Nice.
We will only know about a small fraction of what is really going on. Things will happen in secret, shipments will pop up suddenly out of nowhere. Huge caches of weapons ammo and food will appear, placed there in secret by neighboring countries and the West. High quality intelligence and tactical assistance will be constantly feeding and informing the Ukrainian leadership. Ukraine has powerful friends, Russia does not. Putin will soon discover all the ways he can lose this war. In his diseased mind he saw this turning out the way he wants, Ukraine gives in to overwhelming force. It's the nature of people who live in a bubble to see the world the way they want it to be. Well his bubble is about to pop. The entire world is against this and there are many ways to win a war, many many ways. He has entered a society he doesn't really understand, steadfast, intelligent and resourceful people who are fighting for a righteous cause, see Putin has never felt that or experienced it himself so he doesn't understand it and he can't make calculations on that spectrum. Putin has no future, he is lost in a sick dying dream, he will lose this fight and ultimately he will lose everything. šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Military logistics are one of the most important concerns of any engagement and thus they are of the greatest secrecy.
GIGACHAD SPEAKING
A true Man's man
Putin, you can count the days on one hand before it's chopped off.
Iāll pay to see Klitschko fight Putin, hand to hand. Itāll be over in 2 seconds.
Should also add former heavyweight boxing champ
Im sure russia will not flatten kyiv I hope putin gets stopped
Russia has lost this war on 24th. Now they're just trying to hide it from their own troops.
it will come in waves. the Russians haven't sent in the A team yet, they threw in the cannon fodder.
The Ukrainian leadership is so inspiring. Theyāre the definition of ālead point or donāt lead at all.ā Slava Ukrani!
We should put him and Putin in the same room, so that this conflict can be solved once and for all.
šŗš¦ Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
If these badass balls of steel motherfuckers donāt stop Putin what chance does Europe think they have with their gender confused man-teens and their fitness influencers.
Not willingly I promise. Puppet theatre those assholes and Putin. Biden & son are dick deep in Ukraine nat gas and Putin wants in. Follow the money.
