So proud of them and to have the heritage background I have Ukrainian polish irish . But every nationality has there tough people that’s why they have survived through the centuries!

They need it badly , it’s amazing how they have been able to hold back the Russian orcs so far !! The so called experts said in the beginning , they would fold in 3 days being to scared to fight welcome Russia with open arms and flowers .

Not everyone is the tip of the sphere there is a tremendous amount of support required for those in the field.

It Is so great to see Kate Gerbeau back on TR doing her usual standup job interviewing with incisive questions that do a lot to tease the threads out of the story. These women (including the ones referered to by the others) are doing a spectacular job of getting to this (and I've followed Diane Francis for years here in Canada where she has always had some of the best opinion columns) and I think it is great that Kate is bringing their roles out to show that it isn't just a bunch of testosterone filled men that are fighting for Ukraine against the Russians. Well done Kate.

To all the Russian bots talking down on Woman fighting in a War, do u take no pride in ur female Snipers from WW2 ?! They were feared like the Death himself by the Germans. Sit down in your little Basement dweller and let people with dignity do their thing.

[@majorbrighton]

I´m so humbled, now at 69 I had always been amazed at my luck of being born at the right time. Just after WW2, I watched how people tried to forget, move on and how a society reaped from the War and also what was lost. Always, in multiple times through my life, I have been thankful of living in a neutral environment or where I have felt spoilt by the distance and denial shown by so many who know nothing about a War´s true horrors. Water is often running down my cheeks every time I hear about the progress of Ukraine and it´s struggle. I hear politicians asking the wrong questions and distancing their morality within their eyes. I am truly humbled by your profound efforts, both men and women alike. Against this pitiful man... I think not a "man", rather a monster who can only live in denial. I wonder when the people will rise up, when they hear that all the jails are full or when they are told to? Yet it´s difficult to listen to reason, when your heads are still in the sand. Yet the truth will always find a way out and rebellion will rise up to spill blood on the streets. Imagine the damage Ukraine could do, if they were to attack Russia properly. They are Merly holding their boundaries, which is their right to do. Yet I still wept at the disgrace of their dictators actions. Thousands of children now suffer within families that do not want them, but the funds they represent. If it was down to me, I would build a force to storm Moscow. Dressed in black and only under the cover of night, to stealthily purge and gain insight, with set convergence points and special training to cover their intent. Yet I digress, I am grateful to hear of the many women who are as yet unknown, doing their huge part in this mess. I wish you all my deepest love and well being, you are amazing and I for one will not forget what your doing for this world. 🕊 Steve in Sweden

20:40 Anna Politkovskaya was an American-Russian journalist and human rights activist, who reported on political and social events in Russia, in particular, the Second Chechen War (1999-2005). Politkovskaya was well known for reporting on abuses in Russia's war in Chechnya early in Vladimir Putin's presidency, was shot dead outside her flat in Moscow in 2006. These days, wearing white scarves, a symbol of their protest movement, Moscow women said it was a rare opportunity to express their opposition to mobilization and publicly demand the return of their loved ones from the front. “It’s obvious that we are straining the authorities with our existence,” Maria Andreyeva, the wife of a mobilized soldier and one of the most public figures in a growing anti-mobilization movement, told The Moscow Times at Saturday's protest. “Our problems have been constantly ignored, but we won’t let our men be forgotten,” Andreyeva said, holding carnations traditionally placed on monuments dedicated to fallen soldiers in Russia. Andreyeva is a member of Put’ Domoi (Way Home), one of the most visible groups of wives, mothers and daughters of some of the 300,000 men mobilized for the war in Ukraine.

Writers, journalists, activists, and others around the world expressed condolences over the death of Ukrainian writer and activist Viktoria Amelina, who died from injuries sustained during a Russian rocket attack on a restaurant in Kramatorsk. She was noted for discovering the diary of writer Volodymyr Vakulenko, who was detained and killed by Russian forces in the city of Izyum early in the invasion. The diary, which was buried in his garden, detailed alleged Russian atrocities during the occupation of the city. Belarusian opposition leader in exile Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya wrote that she was "heartbroken" over news of Amelina’s death. "She dedicated her life to documenting war crimes in Ukraine and tragically became a victim of a cowardly Russian attack on civilians," Tsikhanouskaya wrote

this is the thing Putin hasnt got yet: He thinks he has the numbers (population) to crush Ukraine, but hes looking at 'man power', and hes presiding over a country that predominantly doesnt see the point of this war and whos men are resistant to fighting, nor do the ones that ARE fighting in any condition to keep doing so or trust Putin anymore. Sure, many Ukranian men have been resistant too, but ultimately the ones who fight understand why they have to, and they understand why they havent been rotated, so too all of their women have been drawn into the fight directly. Russian women just phone each other, try to protest and knit sweaters, Ukranian women get gun trained and learn to fix tanks. Putin is an idiot for not understanding what happens next.
