"" They somehow thought they would be welcomed "". Thy were but not in the way they thought , instead of flowers they got tanks and artillery as a greeting .
I was there for the first three weeks and the battles were intense with the Ukrainian army holding and driving the Russians back . That was in the north , the Saltivka area where there is a road that comes direct from Russia and meets the ring road.
I am a Brit , came here to make Ukraine my home . I have heard nothing but praise for the stance the U.K has taken , everyone shakes your hand and says thank you to Britain
And because of their countless acts of depravity when they did not get what they want....they will get to see first hand weapons that are brand new , like switch blade drones , and even some modified just for them...)
I too wanted to move there. The sort of pride they have long since died in our country. They are the lions we once were.
Russians have been killing UKRAINIANS for a hundred years.
How do Russians think they would be greeted?
UKRAINE is free and will stay that way forever.
F*CK Pukin. f*CK Russia
Boris The Lion Tamer!
@User User If You Look Online You Can Find World War 2 Film Of Ukrainians Welcoming The Nazis Invaders With Flowers! Sadly For The Nazis They Managed To Turn Many Ukrainians Against Them! But Sure You Can Find Ukrainians Who Remember The SS With Fondness!
Just because a country speaks the same language as your country doesn't mean they like you, there's a reason Russian speaking people choose to live in Ukraine instead of the motherland
A lot, if not most people in Ireland speak English. But they do not wish to be English. Just because a larger neighbour force you to speak their language.
When Russia eventually leave, the people will remember this invasion and with time will forgive (but not forget). But relationships will be mended after a lot of time, like UK and Éire.
Absolutely
I think we need to annex Canada, just the English speaking parts, though
@@nedhappened3085 And this in turn will again end up controversial in future with Russia once again blaming that this or that nation dislikes Russians, therefore they must be nazis, when events like Bucha, Kramatorsk, Mariupol leave traumatic traces which won't be forgotten for decades..just as the purges in Soviet Union annexed countries were after WWII, which is why pretty much all of ex-Soviet countries are not fond of Russians at all..
Which I growing up myself in Baltic states tried to view as kind of wrong, thinking past is a past, let's live, forget and repair, but this just keeps happening over and over again, what is wrong with you, Russian people? And you even take pride of what you have been doing?
@Christopher Moore maybe they need to annex us 🤣
I'd give her the biggest hug. you can see and hear it that that poor girl could use one. Nobody goes into a war zone and doesn't feel the ramifications it brings people. Christina is a remarkable woman.

The citizens of Kharkov stood against the insurgency in 2014 and are standing up to Russia now. They might speak Russian, but at heart they are Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine! I hope my friends there are ok.
Everyone Has Friends In Ukraine NOW!

Real friends are very hard to come by these days in our facile world
Can't believe how eloquently the Ukranian military, ambassador's, Zelensky and ordinary citizens speak in English. They have shown the world the true meaning of solidarity, bravery and pure heroism in the face of brutal adversity. Glory to this nation in this illegal and brutal invasion will be a defining legacy of this incredible nation.
She’s called Christina Lamb and is the Sunday Times Chief Foreign Correspondent. However, I totally agree the majority of Ukrainians speak excellent English, especially compared to the average Brits command of any foreign language. They have amazing solidarity, bravery and also an understanding of their individual role defending their country from this atrocity.
Mark Harris @ My Grandfather and His Generation Had The Same Qualities In Their Fight Against The Nazis In World War2! Sorry To Disappoint The Media and You! Thr Ukrainians DID NOT Invent Heroism!

The Ukrainians are giving the whole world a lesson in Patriotism, with their resistance for their country, homes, and families. Veteran soldiers crossing into Ukraine to help and to all the brave Ukrainian people who refuse to give up their freedom. Strong Ukraine. 💪❤🇺🇸
Patriotism? Most of them are not allowed to leave!
I tried they only want the youngest as of yet. but one older vet who's been there done that is worth ten kids.
we've lived life and to die for a cause as important as Freedom is a damn sight better than in some bed waiting for the end. that's no way for a soldier to go. And if that means a few kids never have to step foot on the devil's dance floor. I'm good with that.
Slava Ukraine!🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸✝️✌️
The Ukrainian people have shown the world how courageous and strong they are. The Russians have shown how despicable they are. Russia's reputation has plummeted in the free world view and may never recover. Putin and Russia have lost.
@@veehope2702 They could leave if they really wanted to but I hey stay to fight. You seem to have no idea of the atrocities that Ukrainians have suffered under Russian rule. Because of Stalin over 4 million Ukrainians starved to death. That is just one example of why the Ukrainians will fight to the death, because they know being ruled by Russia will be atrocious.
@@veehope2702 You must be a child with zero knowledge of almost every country in europe! During invasion/war, military age males are REQUIRED to remain for military service! This is LAW in many scandanavian countries, as well. Stop assuming the rest of us are as ignorant as you…..
Long live a free and prosperous Ukraine
A very beautiful discussion with Christina Lamb, a toast to he heroic reporting from Ukraine! 🍷🇺🇦
Be safe Christina.
I wish you rainbows.
Get Lost HIPPIE!
And unicorn farts
The Ukrainian resistance has been impressive to say the least there training with NATO countries is really showing on the battlefield, they always seem to be one step ahead of the Russians and there ingenuity had been very impressive also, hopefully as they get more sophisticated weapons they start pushing the Russians back even more.
Yeah Lets Spend Much Needed Tax Payers Money To Prolong This War Into A Bloody Stalemate! Hey But Least Boris Is Popular In Ukraine! But NOT In Britain!
They are losing every region, Mariupol has been cleared of Nazis , soon the Donbas forces will collapse as all their supply lines and depots have been destroyed .
Tic toc tic toc
One cannot vaguely imagine how grim it must be..may this worthless war end very soon 😔
Ukraine could’ve made a deal a long time ago, but America wanted a war and they will fight Russia until the last Ukrainian

God bless and protect the proud, patriotic, and courageous people in Ukraine
Our hearts go out to you

There is a old saying that goes like this; It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the strong. The strong is now at the doorstep of Putin. Farewell to the evil that only Putin the poisoner is. Victory to Ukraine. 💛💙☮🖤🖤🖤
Blessings and Luck from California to Ukraine 💛💙
Nato fill the sky with F-35s obliterate the Russians 💙💛
NATO needs to be very deliberate to end this war. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.
Get a grip
Nobody needs senseless killings
but yes, a few very decisive battles will turn the tables on putler and he won't have any choice but to withdraw or negotiate... which the Ukrainians will have none of. only to discuss reparations. these next two weeks will be the most important as of yet. Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸✝️✌️

I don't share the observation that "everyone in Kyiv looks worn down". Not true at all. Lots of people are contributing here. It's a job and we get on with it just like anywhere. Most of us feel that there are people getting it far worse somewhere else so you hear almost no complaining.
I think that's really a sloppy and disingenuous observation, and maybe more of a personal projection.
Media BS As Usual!
What a strange comment. I am in touch with 7 relatives and I would say, like the other commentator wisely notes, “maybe more of a personal projection”.
Glory to ukraine
Brave woman! May she stay safe and continue her vital work!
Toast Boris but don’t trust Boris
Christina, you are a champ!
What a brave report! I am very impressed!
Democracy and freedom are hard to give up which is exactly why Putin wants too stop that from spreading to Mother Russia.
My best wishes to you Christina Lamb. I can hear the terror in your voice as well as your compassion for the people trapped in Kharkiv. Despite having served as a war correspondent for years each conflict is different and I greatly admire your strength and determination to get information out of Kharkiv and destroy the Russian narrative of non-aggression against civilians which some countries still believe. I recently called out an individual or a bot on another site that claimed that Russian troops were losing because they have not fought offensive wars only defensive ones in contrast to the US's aggression. My response was direct and I listed all the countries that Russia has invaded and ended with their aid to Assad in Syria where the Russians in concert with Assad's military used chemical weapons with impunity against unarmed civilians.
stay safe reporting from kharkiv.
Good reporting from Christina Lamb. :)
If anyone deserves R&R right now, it's Christina Lamb.
Maybe The Ukrainian Refugees Before The Media Drama Queens!
On a slow boat to Shanghai 😊
You can be sure of one thing and I think this goes for any Nation. If you stand by them and help defend their country, women and children they will never forget you. You are their true friends for life.
The press is getting annoying now. If you are going to interview victims oh please dont ask such profoundly out of touch sounding questions such as “ do the people look traumatized?”
NOW? ALWAYS!
Same language means nothing if people despise your country or your tyrant there
The Russians didn't "think" That's how they got themselves in this nation collapsing mess. Russians will understand how North Koreans feel. 🇺🇦
Use full information.
I pray for them and I pray all freedom loving countries open up their eyes and realize Ukraine is fighting for us our freedom we need to stand with them and do all we can don't forget Putin could try to bully the world with nukes but we have nukes too to save lives is to be strong and not show weakness to a bully Slava Ukraine
This is a mentality of Russian government and Russian people if they live in your country and they speak Russian that country belongs to them no matter which country that happens to be in Europe.
I can only agree on that! I live in Switzerland and never had any prejudice towards Russians. But only until rich Russians started to buy all nice land at the lakes and built a parallel society where no locals are allowed. They treat defualt locals like 2nd class humans.
That being said, i am well aware that there is a vast majority of decent Russians im Russia as well….. but
That pretty much summarizes the view of Putin’s hero Ivan Ilyin and his modern counterpart Akeksandr Dugin. Anywhere with slavs is “sacred Russian land” and belongs as part of Russia-proper, as does any linking territory in between. And that includes places like Hungary (ethnic although not linguistic slavs) and Poland (even though they acknowledge the Poles win’t like it).
Hey, it's all good. The old days of where you're from defines who you are long behind us. it's who "you" are, That's the mark of a good person.
After this is over I see a tremendous shift in Russian society. The people have had a taste of freedom. ok not whole bottle, but they know there is a huge difference in life outside of Russia and within. They won't want to ever be held under the thumb of a dictator ever again. I equate it to a person who quit smoking. seems they are strongest opponents to people who do. This is the last dictator Russia will ever see. Peace Friend✌️
Russians are ALWAYS jealous of those who live better then them, rspecially former USSR nations!
Such a brave woman! Am so proud of our many American veterans and non veteran volunteers in Ukraine of all ethnicities (Hispanics, Anglo and African Americans, etc.) May Ukraine continue to receive
help. Heart wrenching to see them suffer.
SLAVA UKRAINA!✊️💥🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Should that not read "Slava Ukraini"? In German it is "Sieg Heil!" which works even independent of the country, simply for all Nazis.
@@erikt1713 Desperate.
@@erikt1713 < 🤡🤡🤡 *PUTIN* 🤡🤡🤡
Τhe only problem is, the Russians are not even on the offensive at the Kharkov/ Kharkiv sector. They have taken defensive positions, and their aim at present is to protect the rear and supply lines of their troops at Izyum.
The Russians are currently having a very hard time at Izyum.
They've launched several probes all met with a complete failure. At this rate they will decimate themselves once more before the actual attack is given. Putler must be using a magic 8 ball as his war secretary
@@eh1702 Nah it's easy, get close go boom. Next!! 🥴👍 I've never seen worse tactics

Nonsense Thomas. You are not living in Ukraine. Christina is right she is right there in the heat of it. She is very much correct with her statements. I Just looking around and seeing the devastation worms you down. War is not the solution to any problem. It is unbelievable what Russia has done in Ukraine. I thank all the world countries who is standing up for Ukraine. With God help Ukraine will come out victorious. Slava Ukraine.
God guard Ukraine and take this criminal out there 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭
Fighting about land is so medival
Ukrainians counter attacked pushed Russians back from Kharkiv.
I enjoyed this video and Christins's first hand experience BUT journalists and others have to get one thing straight, just because people speak mainly Russian in many parts of Ukraine doesn't mean that they are Russian sympathisers and want to be part of Russia.
She sounds a bit shook, I wouldn't blame her.
We are all human beings but Russians think that they are above, with God's prayers I believe they will not overcome
❤️
Mariupol was demolished ,because Lugansk/Donetsk so called republicks was greedy to see City developed so well under Ukrainian rule.RuSSians could not show proxi people ,that Ukraine lived good ,6x better than russian occupied territories,
kharkiv population 1.5 million
Nwo vs the rest
@FearSum Bird free?vaxedto the max?group think wokeistan?you need fixin dude
The E.U must help ukrain to stop putina now......if not . They can just wait for putina next show.
If God even exists he has permitted this Russian bestialty, so don't depend on him/her/it. Depend on your own courage. Ukraine flags everywhere in UK. We will always support you ❤
I can assure you that He exists. I and millions of born again Christians experience His indwelling and transformative presence daily. He has given us dominion of the earth. So don’t go blaming Him for the evil perpetrated by mankind. I know that He is intervening miraculously in this evil invasion by Putin in answer to the prayers if His redeemed. It is probably not wise to mock God, because every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God.
Don't blaspheme
While Kharkiv is majority Russian speaking, the ethnicity of Kharkiv is 2/3 ethinic Ukrainians, 1/3 ethnic Russians. There is a reason the original war boundary of the Donbass was where it was. Outside of the rebel area ethnic Russians rapidly becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of the population.
Is this the city that they kidnapped Conzalo Lira?.
Belgorod is also Russian and inside Russia... but if the Russian army turned up outside Belgorod and started shelling them I'd be fairly sure the inhabitants would not be best of friends with them just because they are Russian. Also Russia doesn't have 9 months of money to fight this war... let alone 9 years. I'd doubt they have 9 weeks left at the current attrition on their economy. Unlike the US or EU Russia is a little tight for money these days.
Ukraine is on the offensive in northeast and east of Kharkiv - they are pushing the Russians to the border and cutting off the main MSR that leads to Bologorod (main AA in Russia).
I pray that God change Putin heart because he is not God. Everyone has a right to chose.
Give ucrane long range wepens to unleash pain on Russia
Thats why Russians army dont want to fight they cant withstand bravery oh Ukrainian army
Steadfast undeytered
Glory to Ukraine
Russia may be a huge country, but it’s economy is that of a minor European country. Add the sanctions, their inability to manufacture anything without sanctioned parts and it is hard to see how Russia could sustain a war lasting years or even many months. Russia’s strategy is to stand off and flatten everything indiscriminately with artillery, but hopefully that will be countered soon by the next wave of aid, can’t help feeling like Ukrainians that it could happen faster.
Some senior correspondent - doesn’t even know if Ukraine's parliament is sitting!
Well no,. he can't see in the room.😁
believing that God will save the citizens and soldiers of Mariupol. Praying that God will cause confusion in the Russian soldiers and that they will flee in terror. May God's plan and purposes for Ukraine 🇺🇦 be fulfilled and may the truth of what Putin has done be be known by the people of Russia 🇷🇺 and may the mothers of Russian soldiers find out exactly what they have done.
We should send Boris to the ukraine
I don’t think you can win a war by lying.
We did, but he keeps coming back

Wow this lady has a gurgly voice lol
I wonder if a "Zama" approach to this war would work, find a group of people within Russia's borders who want to assert their independence from Russia and clandestinely supply them with weapons. This would take the war to Russia and maybe make it clear to the Russian people what a useless government they have. Of course, this would probably be a big mistake and would "heat up " the conflict much more.
It’s Kharkov, has always been, will always be.
Stig of the dump.
Sunday Times. War propaganda for the state.
No, that’s simply wrong
Really? well....in that case you let me know when they show any signs of disagreeing or critiquing anything the UK does in regards to this war. Every major news outlet in the UK and USA is doing nothing more than cheerleading. So you either don't see that...or you do and just want to give them cover. Lets be grown ups here.
Glory to Russia 🇷🇺 ❤
