Welcome to Minnesota Ukrainian soldiers i hope you the best

[@arielporte4149]

How long has your family been in the USA ? The way you write your comment in English makes it very difficult to understand who you say is the bad guy in the Russian / Ukrainian war...are you angry at Russia or at Ukraine ? I look forward to more clarity from you...thanks.

But our Vietnam soldiers, my husband were called baby killers and were spit on.. Welcome home Vietnam vets, I see you all every day, homeless no food no shelter and on behalf of the world I salute you and all the American soldiers who fought for my freedom and the freedom of every human on the planet on behalf of America, we love you and honor your sacrifice..

Oh, stop complaining and appreciate this for what it is...we all get screwed over once in a while, and not EVERYTHING is about you and your family! You know how many jobs I've had through my life where I was underpaid and should've earned more? Quite a few...

Fyi, Vietnam soldiers are baby killers, that hasn't changed. I don't think you're married.

These men did the exact same. They are fathers and husbands and brothers. You talk like we have no services for Vietnam vets…like my husband also. You’re bitter. But you’re doing nothing but seeing and saying I love you. These are all refugees from Ukraine, and Belarus, these folks supporting them are taking action and doing.

[@psycho-therapy8780]

From a Ukrainian who's family migrated to MN after WWII, this is a shameful twist of events. We, Russian-Ukrainians, do not think its cool how the Ukraine was overrun Gestapo. Not only did these soldiers lose their limbs, they lost their identity and honor among their own people. Its interesting how you Americans imagine we Ukrainians don't know we are Russian. Notice how the Ukrainian community didn't show up to celebrate the race trading Gestapo.

[@Justice4547]

It breaks my heart to watch what is happening to Ukraine and Russia. To the people! The people suffer. Not Zelensky. Not Putin. Why is Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’ more important to Biden than the entire worlds food supply? Including the price of gas… and everyone’s livelihoods!! Ukraine is Russia. No war can change that. No matter how many people die in this unjust war, nothing will change the fact that Ukraine is not a sovereign country. The lies by this administration is disgraceful and unacceptable. US Citizens are forced to fund a war and the murder of innocent people… that we do not want and do not agree with. The human cost saddens me. So many lives lost, families destroyed, for nothing. Lies and deception. A coverup!

[@arielporte4149]

You are from Ukraine, you have been here 10 to 20 years (you don't know how long you've been here exactly ???), you speak Spanish here where English is the national language ??? If you've been here for 10 years or more and cannot write clearly in English why don't you go to a community education class and learn to speak, read, and write clearly. It will help you to understand others and also it will be easier for others to understand you...your comments can then express what you want people to know.

Physcho suits you. Take a trip to Ukraine, we cannot fine this rubbish you repeat from Putin. These men received a hero’s welcome. I’m sure Physcho never will.

[@Sombody123]

There's something far worse than Nazi-larpers in Ukraine; namely Russians.

How come we didn’t support the 1.5 million Iraqis who died since the invasion of Iraq ?
