Thank you for sharing the stories of ordinary civilians for depending the city of Sumy...And a big salute to the heroes who have given up their lives for Ukraine 🇺🇦...greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Great video. Wish I had found it earlier. I will forward it to all my friends and colleagues.

[@bedathesimp1994]

Respect from China, the citizens of Sumy show us what true patriotism is, loving your homeland, loving your family and friends and fighting for it. Fighting for a dictator is not patriotic, it is evil and an accomplice to the devil. It brought tears to my eyes, and I saw a group of people who were brave enough to defend their way of life. I hope that my country, my people, will one day acknowledge all the wrongs we have done and prove to the whole world that we belong to the free world family. May freedom belong to the Ukrainian people. Слава Україні!

А кто сказал что в России диктатура????? Путин работает на Россию. И всегда договаривается с нормальными лидерами стран. А с США бесполезно договариваться. И США виноваты в крови на Украине. Только США и никто иначе. Россия добровольно распустила Варшавский договор. А НАТО с 1991 г. расширилось в несколько раз. И там где американцы - там кровь, разрушение и смерть.

[@petrhorak3268]

@@user-td3bs8cu7r Все страны вступили в НАТО добровольно. В какой стране президент находится у власти 20 лет? Только диктатуры. Таким образом, твоими друзьями остаются только Северная Корея и исламский Иран. Остальные общаются с тобой только ради дешевого газа. Даже Сербия. Сербия поставляет Украине боеприпасы. Если бы ты продолжал копаться в земле и продавать газ и нефть, всем было бы наплевать. Никто не хотел бы на тебя нападать. У тебя паранойя. Если бы ты не напал на Украину, Украина не получила бы той поддержки, которую она получила, чтобы вступить в НАТО и ЕС. Финляндия и Швеция продолжали бы сохранять нейтралитет. Жалуйся Путину.

Thank you for this excellent report and especially for the flawless English narration. This is the story of ordinary citizens who, under the threat of a vastly superior invading army, took up arms to defend their country and it's citizens. Ukrainians have become an inspirational example to the whole world and it's very important that these stories are filmed, recorded and archived. Not just for historical reasons but as a tribute to those brave souls who lost their lives during this heroic defence. 'They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.' Slava Ukraini, heroyam slava.

[@mathieu8641]

Thank you for subbing it !

[@Sleepy1988]

If you notice mistakes in translation with the words “the” and “a” it is because Ukrainian and Russian (the translator’s native language or the language of whoever wrote the translation out) have no articles like “the” or “a”. A fair amount of Russians/Ukrainians who have learned English will make mistakes with these two words because there are no equivalents to them in Russian/Ukrainian.

Damn, those first couple months were wild for both sides. The Russians made so many mistakes and i fear that Ukraine assumed that would always be the case.

In 2016 I was working in Florida and ran into a woman who had an accent and I asked her where she was from and she said Ukraine!...so I said oh wow it's dangerous over there right? she looked at me like I was crazy and said no why would it be dangerous? I said hello! Russia invaded their country and started war over there! ...she told me I didn't know what I was talking about and I started to get mad and was like are you kidding me!! I seen it with my own eyes!!! Anyway I couldn't exactly argue with her about it at the time especially since I needed to get on her property to do my job when I did get in her yard I seen where someone took a bucket of red paint and threw it at the foot of her door!... After the invasion in 2022 I have always been suspicious of that woman and her husband!

There are no words. I think the population of the countries that are extremely comfortable and feel secure would benefit a great deal from watching this. I think if Mike Johnson, had the backbone of anything other than a fucking jellyfish, saw this maybe he would understand the importance of taking the vote on Ukraine aid. But im afraid hes fully aware of the atrocities and is to much of a cowatd to make the correct choices. As an American, this broke my heart and hurt my feelings knowing the American people are standing with you (despite what the media says) but a small group of suit wearing cowards are blocking our true intentions.
