[@lynnegackstetter2779]

The people who have made this possible are Angels on Earth. This man doing this for the people of his Country deserves every blessing. I wish they could stay here longer than a few weeks. My prayers are with all of them and the people of Ukraine. Let this human horror come to an end. I pray God curses the Russian People who are killing women and children. These are War Crimes and I hope Putin is punished for these Crimes against humanity.

[@candykane4271]

@@topsecretbear9918 Sorry, I missed this question. Then it must be the media you are referring to. I know it’s not fake news. The Ukrainian men with missing legs, getting prosthetics are still here recovering. I met a young boy who was blown up with his dad. His dad died, he is missing an arm. That’s not propaganda, it’s facts, war kills and maims. No propaganda here, in this story. Just good generous people, helping the hurting.

[@sparkplug2646]

Answer me this, why didn't they go to England for these limbs?? We should be concentrating on our own soldiers not soldiers from another country..

[@tashtash555]

Do you even read or listen? These prosthetics were funded by Ukrainian Americans. Stfu, not a single penny of your taxes went here. For Christ's sake, grow a heart. If you care so much about American veterans, why don't you do something about it instead of uselessly complaining????

[@candykane4271]

Because it was organized with a ton of local refugees from Belarus and Ukraine. What is your problem? Americans take care of their own. They are staying with Ukrainians and Ukrainians are paying, along with Americans who have Ukrainian loved ones or Americans with a heart for people with needs.

[@sparkplug2646]

[@sparkplug2646]

@@candykane4271 and these Ukrainians that live in America need to take care of the American veterans FIRST, the ones that look after their safety and well-being here in AMERICA where they LIVE..

[@kellycrete]

They’re not stealing prosthetics from US vets. It’s not like there’s a finite number of prosthetics made in the world and also, US vets are taken care of just fine. You sound like a hateful little person. I bet you’re a very religious christian as well..

[@bdbeats7209]

Sure hope they offered up these services to our own soldiers when they came back wounded. The virtue signaling is pretty gross

[@trumpwon8064]

Excellent point

[@tashtash555]

Funded by a Ukrainian American organization. You should prob start something for the American vets since you seem to care about them so much. Oh wait, you just like to complain and demoralize.

[@candykane4271]

There is a huge Ukrainian community here in Minnesota, also those who fled Belarus and Russia dictatorships. They work together as a community and are not a burden to anyone. Everyone is giving money time and talent from the heart. It took a while to get this together financially, set up air fare and housing Etc.

[@candykane4271]

Americans take care of their own.

[@andrealorinser3504]

We can see soldiers here from the American proxy war. It is easier to use Ukrainian soldiers than Americans, because the government does not have to be face to public anger in the US.

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

I curse the Russian People who are attacking civilians and killing children. War Crimes against humanity.
