Let me ask you have you seen the Ukrainians hammering the Russians with hands tied behind their back then putting on a wooden cross like Jesus and then setting them on fire? or and you watched the videos of them having their hands behind their backs with heads beaten to death then left then to die in pain some put a few bullets in the one head but then told not shoot the rest let them die in pain??? or kidnapping their own stealing all of what they have then killed or girls rapped by the Ukrainians with state it's the Russians??? because I have lots of the true videos but not a single one charged yet

And if you talk to real locals in Donets or Lugansk, not zombified and not paid for, you will suddenly discover the fact that Donetsk and Lugansk are intact. They were practically not shelled, while the propaganda machine created a picture of total hell in these regions. For the last couple of years, everything was absolutely calm, which, of course, did not suit Russia, which started a full-scale war. As for the neo-Nazis, you have a Kremlin mouthpiece sticking out of your mouth. There are neo-Nazis everywhere, and it is in Russia that there are more of them in numbers. Not to mention the fact that the whole country has become nazi in general. The same pictures and videos of several fanatics are shown on TV in Russia, spreading the false idea that there is a nazi problem in Ukraine. But you can google it and find even more of the same material in russia. The same goes for the U.S., the U.K., and almost any other country. Nazi views in Ukraine have always been and will continue to be persecuted by law. And don't poke your nose into another country under this far-fetched pretext. This is me writing to you, a resident of Ukraine, whose mother was born in russia and whose father is BLACK. In addition, I have communicated here all my life in russian.

The media companies will be back. They are looking for a story and the story of Russia slowly grinding forward isn't 'sellable'. Three weeks down the line by which time the Ukranian army could be in danger of being forced out of donbas amid heavy casualties on both sides, with Russia close to its immediate war aim is a story. Another story is five to six weeks down the line when Ukraine is using the bulk of its newly received weapons and retaking territory / resisting Russian attempts to take over donbas. Its a bit cynical but its hard to know whether the media wants to push these certain stories on us, or if its us that want these types of stories from the media.

Yes war is scary, but having shells fly indiscriminately into civilian populated areas…even he said, “at least we can hide in a cellar then, now you can’t.” Just the modern weaponry alone is much more devastating. There is no argument in that. Aside from Hiroshima and Stalingrad, I never seen such destruction in modern times. Much worse than Beirut.

The garage this car came from is a garage I know well in Dublin I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. To think that a few months ago this person that owns it was probably working and living in my country not too far from where I live, it’s crazy. I have mentioned before that a gentleman that worked in a branch of Aldi in Dublin for years went home to fight and sadly lost his life. Very sad.

I know your a humble man Nick, but you seriously deserve recognition and a medal of the highest order! Not only for this series but for every series you pour your heart and soul into, and the absolutely huge amounts of money you’ve helped raise not only for Ukraine, but many many countries & community groups around the world! Thank You so much for putting your life on the line to show us all the truth of what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine. (It’s hard to even imagine for me, whilst I sit here in Australia safe). It doesn’t feel like that long again you were at Chernobyl and showing us the absolutely amazing people of Ukraine before this war started. Take Care & I hope you get to rest both mentally & physically after such a harrowing but truely amazing series you’ve made.

@@huejastle this is not about winning and losing mate, it's about a country defending as best it can its own sovereignty and stopping it's people from getting killed and it's towns and villages from getting smashed.

Nothing but warriors and heroes in Ukraine and cowards and animals on the other side hiding behind rockets, missiles, artillery and planes just indiscriminately flattening towns and killing innocents...maybe look at slightly bigger picture mate.
