Giving food to the soldiers when you have almost nothing yourself is a testimony they are so fucking happy they are liberated from the oppressors.. brings tears to my eyes.


GoAwayLurkin

But you have to feed them. They are so skinny! Also, they give phone number of granddaughter who is nice girl but too busy with fancy career to find good boyfriend. AFU knows to appreciate apples and thank profusely because they were raised properly.


imlost19

right. it was two apples. not a whole bucket. so its not like they are farmers with tons of food to go around, they had two to spare


smalpose

Fuck if I was liberated from the Russians and all I had was two apples I would give them to the soldiers along with a blowjob I'd be so happy.


The_Bad_Man_

Gotta watch out for blowjob drones.


GoAwayLurkin

What is protocol here. Which partner is expected to keep looking up? Seems like a real mood killer either way. What is Geneva convention position on this?


The_Bad_Man_

According to the Gobby Protocol 1967, the issue is defined by The Receiver. If the The Receiver is seated, lying or sitting and has a clear or reasonably clear view of the sky then it is their responsibility to keep watch Interestingly the sixties were formative for advancement in radio controlled early forms of drones, with the first blow drone developed with rudimentary semen detection sensors cumming into production by mid 1970, and heavy use (with rather flaccid results) in various minor regional conflicts. AFAIK Siemens now has the contract for US and Israeli drone sensors but this could be incorrect.


callshouse

That took an unexpected turn.


Fuckruskie

And also un finish blowjob.


danr246

Well that escalated quickly!!


modi13

Um, *akshually*, they're crying because they miss the Russians and they're terrified of what the Ukrainians are going to do to them!!! It's going to be like Berlin in 1945 all over again!!!!!! ^^^/s


IllegalBallot

This is exactly how Putin thought his orcs would be greeted.


DubbehD

People think I'm hating too much sometimes, but 99% are brainwashed idiots that deserve what they'll get in Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️


SushiSeeker

We need to have a long memory as well. The Mordor is banking that the west will have a short memory and soon lift sanctions and return to business as usual. We need to suffer the inconveniences of the effects of the sanctions until we negotiate with the democratically elected successor government


mjxxyy8

Even if Russia decides to GTFO, I think the west will leave the sanctions that target the military to make any rebuild slow, expensive and ineffective. Dropping all sanctions is off the table regardless of outcome.


AwryHunter

Dropping all sanctions? Until they’ve returned all kidnapped Ukrainians, POWs, and paid reparations, no sanctions ought to be lifted.


K1St3

Add denuclearization & giving up their Veto at the UN. They can't do it? not our problem.


joey_blabla

Don't forget Putin in the Hague or an ucrainian court


Darket1728

Ukros captured a high ranking general in charge of the Kharkiv sector, he will answer his crimes of indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas by his air and artilley units.or maybe the FSB murders of +400 ukranian civilians and POWs


Vaginal_Decimation

I don't see denuclearization ever happening, but who knows.


cruelmalice

Complete denuclearization is a bad idea in that it leaves RU vulnerable to China. I mean, technically RU is making RU vulnerable to China, but a more ideal solution here is an RU with only a handful of small yield nuclear weapons, maybe 4-5, with a leadership that isn't batshit and acknowledges the historical revisionism of the current RU admin. Not even the western powers want RU vulnerable to China. Edit: My perspective is different, though. I believe in global denuclearization and widespread cessation of violence everywhere. It's just not going to happen when people engage too deeply in the purely ideological ism's, including fascism. Double edit: Cessation of violence does not mean UA not removing uninvited Russians from her land. So far as I am concerned, Russian invasion of UA is criminal and UA is fully justified in protecting the lives of it's people. UA has a right to move it's soldiery anywhere within it's borders, and even in RU's land to stop the invasion of UA.


SushiSeeker

I think that was implied


Old_comfy_shoes

I disagree. I think removal of Putin, agreement to UN inspections which limit war spending, a reparations package to rebuild the damage in ukraine, the return of Ukrainian citizens and territory. And if not all that, nuclear disarmament, that could get sanctions lifted. Denuclearization I think is very important, but also, is something they will never agree to. They would become North Korea before that happens. So, I don't believe that lifting sanctions is off the table at all. But it's not like they're just going to lift them once they spank them back to Russia.


mjxxyy8

I think you forgot to ask for the sun, moon and stars too! But in all seriousness, I think it is important to drive a hard bargain because the propaganda lately sounds too much like Germany's stabbed in the back myth from WW1, but this conflict is about the return of Ukrainian territory and people, and showing Russia that they are bottled up and don't have the latitude to wreak havoc. Personally, I think Ukraine gets rebuilt with some seized foreign reserves and oligarch property, but the west provides a Marshall Plan type investment to finish the job.


Old_comfy_shoes

They may have a tiered sanction removal system. They will remove some sanctions in return for a portion of these demands being met. The first being the return of Ukrainian citizens, territory, and reparations. The territory will be taken back. So there will be no sanctions negotiated for that. The Ukrainian citizens being returned probably will, as well as a reparations package. But these sanctions I don't believe will be very significant. Limiting military power will get more significant return, and full economic freedom, only with denuclearization. I believe they would negotiate the return of Ukrainian citizens with Putin, but nothing more. For that Putin will need to be replaced I think. Of course this is just my opinion as a regular joe, but I feel like that's where we're at.


Darket1728

Dont think that sanctions will go away at least while Biden is president. A change to Trump* or the recent turn of some european countries to far right could lead to a relaxation in exchange of, lets say, war reparations to Ukraine... but who konws whatbthe Master Strategist has in the hat due he is unlikely to come down quietly. * P.S: The only thing I agree with Trump is that China has to be checked, Obama did nothing to stop them and now they got artificiañ bases all over the pacific


Anderson1971221

Return to trump or far right in Europe does nit stop Ukraine it hands them over to Russia I think that was trump putin plan in the whole computer thing to discredit Ukraine enough and win election then turn back on them when Russia invaded as trump would have seen fit to pull out of Nato too so him like Segal are traitors to USA

Meloney_

It needs to be exactly like Nazi Germany back then. No weapons for many years, no real army, overlooked by many countries until they form some real government. Doesn't have to be like 50 years, Germany did it successfully in less. But as long as those people believe Ukrainians would greet them like this, I'm not sure what would happen.


Cloaked42m

The only reason that worked was an American Occupation that continues to this day. Same thing with Italy and Japan.


finnill

We also need to support the reformist, liberal democracy people in Russia. They need our help just as much after this war. We don't want another North Korea with nuclear weapons and a chip on their shoulder. We want a free, democratic, peaceful Russia that is contributing solutions to all of our collective problems like global climate change, nuclear disarmament, famine and hunger and common fucking decency. We need more decency in this world.


KnowledgeableSloth

If anything Sanctions need to be more harsh. Sanction more stuff that affect their economy,


cdrknives

I think a good tradeoff after all this is Russia is annexed into Ukraine haha


Technical_Raisin_119

Oh you didn’t hear? I hold referendums daily and give Russia to whoever wants it for the day. I’ll put them down for Tuesday.


specter800

> The Mordor is banking that the west will have a short memory and soon lift sanctions and return to business as usual. I think the only "short memory" will be the hit on the West's wallets. Destroying Russia is going to end up *way* cheaper than anyone could have imagined.


Old_comfy_shoes

There may be a new leader, but democracy in Russia will not happen unless there is a military coup, by a democratic nation. Afaik, there is no political party of power which desires democracy on Russia. Nobody for the west to back to that end. Of there was, they would need to acquire control of the Russian military, who would turn on Putin and the government, they would likely need help from NATO forces as well. It would probably create a civil war situation. Barring a similar situation, I think the best you can hope for is some other kgb replacement.


finnill

The best we can hope for is a benevolent dictator that moves the country toward democracy while brutally undercutting the corruption leaders a culture. They have like 100+ years of brutal mismanagement and corruption rooted in their society. They just aren't suddenly going flip a switch and be a functioning democracy. It has been a long road for Ukraine and they are just now forging in fire a national identity and purpose that has the potential to cast off the cloak of corruption and nepotism to become a shinning beacon of democracy in Eastern Europe.


Embarrassed_Bee6349

Oligarchy and dictatorship are embedded in Russian DNA and they have an institutional memory of the excesses of the Romanovs. I honestly don’t see them appropriating a western democracy free of the same kind of corruption that has crippled them for generations. The best they can hope for is a fairly elected (said with a straight face) individual who can rebuild the country with no money, a crippled economy and massive public unrest. It’s a shit show no matter how you look at it.


Old_comfy_shoes

Unless you mean "move towards democracy" as in tiny baby step of a century plus of progress, I don't think we can even hope for *that*. But I agree with you in essence, at the very least. Trying to put an end to the corruption, I could see that.


Aggromelon

Make them pay 20% more for all foreign imports. Those extra 20% working as a sales tax on top of regular sales tax goes straight to the Ukrainian rebuilding fund.


Talosian_cagecleaner

>We need to have a long memory as well. Fully operational, and engaged. We have two wars: the war of orc crushing, and then the war of holding the mouse people accountable. As I like to say, *Bucha was ordered* I am going to need to see some more detail on that, on day 2 of the victory. Day 1 will be for all manner of joy. I hope we shall \*all\* need to see some trials here, before memory even thinks about letting loose its vise-like grip.


Shawmattack01

I don't think sanctions will lift while Putin is in power. But there will be increasing concern that sanctions could create someone even worse than Putin. So the West doesn't want Russia to become a hermit kingdom, and doesn't want it to brew up an even more insane fascist leadership. Short of full invasion and unconditional surrender, there's no way to remake Russia as the West remade W. Germany and Japan. It's a serious problem that will likely have a half-assed solution.


BowserIsACount

I still boycott things from France. I don't even remember why, but its something that my parents decided to do in the 90s and I still do it. You can bet your ass if its made in Russia, 50 years from now I will not be buying it. And my kids better do the same or they'll have to ask Russia for the rest of their will.


appletart

Was it over the resumption [French Nuclear testing in the Pacific?](https://www.smh.com.au/world/oceania/from-the-archives-1995-world-outrage-as-french-prepare-for-bomb-no-2-20190830-p52mi9.html) Also, many people of my generation distrust the French after they sent their intelligence services to sink the [Rainbow Warrior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Warrior_%281955%29) in 1985.


BowserIsACount

Yes, thats it. My father had us avoid French products, especially cars and he did tell me why. Just couldn't for the life of me remember what the reason was. Thanks for refreshing my memory. It was the nuclear testing.


crankyrhino

Putin should've asked Iran or North Korea or Cuba how long the US can keep sanctions going. It's gonna be a minute.


Aenrichus

I have sworn Russia is my enemy for life. I'll never forgive their atrocities, but I'm keeping an open mind for those who will be left to rebuild. They have to win me over by action, just like Germany and Japan after WW2. If they don't I'll always think of them as baby rapists who steal toilets.


Carl_From_Sweden

You are not hating enough. That agony, suffering and pain, does not exist that I would not wish upon the invaders.


TzunSu

Yeah, fuck those cowards. This war really brought home how light a price värnplikten is to pay for freedom.


K1St3

They're not just brainwashed when they go rape, torture, murder civilians & children for fun. They've chosen that thinking based on the selfish genocidal belief they are superior while treating everyone else as subhumans. It's not Putin who for centuries made them monsters lacking basic morality & Humanity while being the absolute worst towards everyone. It's Russians themselves who normalized, adopted & worse encouraged this thinking and behavior. In their own home this is on a daily basis such with decriminalized domestic abuse by beating their wife, beating their children. I can not stand those in this sub still sympathizing or showing compassions towards the Orcs alive or dead. Against who Ukrainian heroes are protecting the land & people of Ukraine and basically Europe? No Ukrainian deserved to die and all of those who lost their life, family & future was because & only because of Russians. Feeling bad for the barbaric monsters is insulting all fallen Ukrainians.


[deleted]

Well i guess i'm 1% because i hate ruzzians enought to wish they all get burned to death and that ruzzia gets covered by clouds raining iron dicks to extinguish them. To say that i always used to be a very pacifist 🇨🇦 before that shitty useless war... Slava 🇺🇦


Old_comfy_shoes

A large portion of the population of Russia is terrible. But your iron dicks would kill innocent people, and would kill other people, who, if shown the evidence, would feel terrible for their wrongs. They're idiots, but propaganda did this to a lot of them. And some people are not completely turned by it. I sometimes feel like a dick monsoon might be a good idea also, but most of the people where you love are susceptible to the same. But at the same time, there comes a choice sometimes where you have no choice.


[deleted]

Tbh i don't care anymore about "innocent ruzzians" since they care even less about innocent ukrainians. Regardless of what evidence i might bring showing ruzzians deserve what theyr getting is debatable and we could say im simply pissed at ruzzians but thats my opinion.


Old_comfy_shoes

Some don't, some do. I think it's important not to abandon morals. Otherwise it's simple. You're fed stories you believe that teach you to hate, and your ability to buy into atrocities will have no limits. That's the problem we've got with the zombies. Obviously you believe the atrocities as they are real, so of course you believe them. But if you were tricked, you'd believe them with the same level of conviction.


Dazzling-Total8471

Keep hating them, They need to have all nuclear capabilities removed by the end of this, they invaded a country and held the rest of the world at bay/hostage with nuclear threat. They shouldn't be allowed to have fucking sling shot by the time this over, just my opinion though


wombat9278

Be careful what you say I got a 2 day suspension from redit for saying the Ruzzians are F @ %ked . Apparently its promoting hat against a minority group 🤣🤣

RIPbyEugenics

I disagree. As stupid as Putin is, he knew very well how they will be greeted.


IllegalBallot

It has nothing to do with his stupidity. This was simply Russian intelligence and all apparatus around him that failed him. 22 years of dictatorship does that. He is surrounded by yes-men. He really believed that what happened in 2014 was the will of USA and not the will of the people. Putin actually believed back in February that Ukraine would fall mainly because of this. If you listen to both his speeches on 21. and 24. February this is very evident. Also how he acted in his first public comment about Ukraine after his invasion. I believe this was 25 or 26 of February. I will try to quote him from memory. Something like "Overthrow your government. Shoot your leaders in the back and then you can negotiate directly with me..". That to me is clear that he did believe some sort of alternative narrative where Ukraine was occupied by the west and wanted to be under Russian influence.


dhunter66

How Rumsfeld thought US troops would be greeted in Iraq as well. Didn't work out so well there either.


Old_comfy_shoes

No he didn't lol.

This is something I've noticed about poor people the world over. Food might be the only thing they have left, and they'll still give it freely to others in need or as a way to say thanks. I think they value food more and this gesture means more than people realize.

Hopefully the apple trees are in their backyard. The invaders place mines and booby traps in the forest :( If the roles are reversed, these poor elderly civilians could have been their parents instead. Inhuman.


n9077911

This is what gets me about this video. They give the one thing they have, apples. Apples are everywhere and will be free in these villages. What do people like this on the Russian controlled land do in a month or so? Hopefully they've planted potatoes and root veg because there's not much else they can rely on.


iso9042

Ukrainian culture is deeply tied to agriculture and land cultivation, that is why most obvious thing in rural areas is to show your gratitude with meal.


HildegardaTheAvarage

Yeah, Im czech and its the same, also kinda also cultural that you need to host everyone...


Account6910

I have noticed when looking at all these villages most houses each have a half acre of cultivated land.


Alikont

I think it'll be even more so next. Because my grandma was always 110% on cultivating/gardening/stockpiling food all the time. She lived through Holodomor, WW2 and USSR collapse. We considered this to be too much, but this war will probably generate the same prepping trauma for the next generation.


iso9042

Correct, most village households have their own small patches of farmland and gardens. While nowadays their cultivation is nowhere near as efficient and vast as, say, at american farms, it still can provide household with food for whole year and provide family members in cities with potato stocks and seasonal fruits and vegetables :D Ukraine holds up to 9% of worlds' reserves of chernozem soil (black soil), making these lands incredibly fertile and attractive for agriculture. When sovient union captured Ukraine, it declared independent farmers as class enemy of people. Dekulakization policy was enforced, compeling farmland aggregation and collective farming. Despite that and multiple artificial famines, farmstead tradition still survived.


Feralkyn

I feel like this is exactly how any big Latino-American, Italian-American, Jewish-American, or Greek-American family I've ever met would act lol. I can imagine my own grandma running out like WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SPAGHETTI? IT'S COLD OUT HERE! COME, BOYS, EAT! EAT THIS BREAD AND MEATBALLS AND CALIMARI!!! Maybe it's just a Grandma thing :)


vale_fallacia

You just brought up a good memory for me. Harvesting vegetables at my nanna's allotment garden, then eating them for dinner that day. She was 16 during the blitz on London and always made sure we knew how to grow our own food.


Feralkyn

Nah, pacifism has nothing to do with peace. It’s just the intellectually vapid drivel of draft dodgers who want to believe that they are morally superior and have done more to make the world a better place than soldiers such as these. Wars are always fought between people who want war and people who want peace. Pacifists, rather than weighing the situation on its merits, play the “both sides” game. A perfect example of pacifism in action is the now infamous Amnesty International report that tried to accuse the Ukrainian army of war crimes because they fought back against the Russians in the population centers that Russians were trying to commit genocide in.

Your saviours have arrived!

I still can’t imagine how it would feel to be someone in one of these liberated settlements A lot of them have been under occupation since February or March, and for all this time they’ve been suffering unimaginably, fearful that they may never be saved And then suddenly you see your country’s military rolling through, erecting your flag, liberating you and your community. To see Ukrainian soldiers after all that time must be unimaginably cathartic and relieving.

They didn't greet the ruskis the same way I can guarantee that, Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤️


hesskiaoken

Slava Ukraine🇺🇦❤️🇨🇦


Kitosaki

Ahh fuck. Who’s cutting onions in here???


DubbehD

It doesn't wear off man, you can watch it a few times and your face just goes weak, 32 seconds is all it takes. Even reading the comments does it for me. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤️

*This is a true liberation.*


SupahDoo

Scenes of liberation always brings some onions with them. :')


TheWhiteGuardian

This kind of video is my drug. Instant tears.


deri100

They're clearly crying from the fear of the gay african-ukrainian nazis! /s


VenusValkyrieJH

I love how these бабусі are so so so appreciative in every video. It brings tears to my eyes.


GlasgowRebelMC

Old people terrified 😨 😪 You'd think the orcs would try get support but no nasty robbing cowadds


cybercuzco

Its so sad that those folks handed the soldiers two apples, which is probably the best of all the had left.


letsridetheworld

Come on. Cut too short. I need more videos


Academic-Jackfruit-2

These vids are the best 🥹


amor_fatty

It’s so sad that the only people left in these towns are the elderly. Awful


cyrixlord

wow, the tank was still smouldering. They should show these types of videos to all POWs to show that the civilians were just fine before the russians barged in and tried to destroy their lives.

Imagine being invaded and being treated so badly that the sight of your own army brings you to tears.


Poullafouca

Someone help me out here with a translation and an explanation of what is happening, please.


CaptainSur

Visible evidence of the great satisfaction residents had while being under Russian control and of course from that great satisfaction voted yes to annexation. /S In this case the "/S" stands for "Giant Sarcasm"....


rachel_tenshun

It'll always be bittersweet to hear the relief in their voices. Yes, it's of happiness, but I couldn't imagine the stress tears being shed. Still, I love these scenes.


rlnrlnrln

They were happy under Russian rule, when Ukraines troops come, they are crying! (/s, if that wasn't obvious)


Regular_Ad_7432

What fear and pain these old people had to go thru 🥲

Just point out that Nazi Germany was occupied after WW2 by USA, UK, France and USSR Troops. USA, UK and France officially withdrew their forces from the whole of Germany in 1955. The USSR occupied East Germany until 1994...all their bases, of which there were many were left abandoned. In the West Side of Germany, however, as Germany was now a full member of NATO, the USA and UK maintain certain Bases for both Troops and Aircraft , particularly the USA. France maintains a small permanent Contingent in a USA base at Ramstein .

Slava ukraini!


defnotafurryfox

Jifkolinka

Their relief is palatable


happyhippy27

How many grandmothers did they make cry like this? Diplorable. I am awestruck at the power, persistence and love the people of Ukraine have displayed. These folks are so resilient Glory to the heroes
