My favorite part was the woman who said, "...neighbors helped each other."
imagine this in usa, russian army will be the least of your problem!
@@user-nn7mg3bp4u yeah. basically every citizen has a gun. too bad it would end up making the russians bomb civvy areas
Strange how conflict can bring people together when at the best of times, they ignore each other 🤔
@MIASTOWY REKIN How you can say that after you have seen demolished homes and how much those people have suffered? These people definetely deserve support. Taxes is used much worse
I think is very normal in eastern mentality. From my childhood always when someone was knocking to the house, my mother is giving everything what we cat and making sandwiches etc.
5:49 An old T34 standing proud on the war memorial and a wrecked T72 in the background. What an image.
When this ends, and reconstruction starts a thousand newly minted sculptors with torches and welders will mint ten thousand new indelible memorials to the fallen and reminders to future aggressors, "This is Ukraine and this is what happens to invaders".
I was thinking exactly the same. Two different era but same faith...
Would be cool. But that T72 seems so be in good working order. Is it actually destroyed?
@@lexevo Seems like the Ukr have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to tanks. They are probably harvesting only the best and salvaging any useful parts and ammo then leaving the rest to the rust and the mice.
I was thinking the same thing,.so ironic
Salute to all the Mayors of the different towns....their leadership is commendable👌👌
@Анастасия Борисова You know there might be no war if people are as stupid as you.
The Ukrainian soldier who was speaking inspired me and gives me hope. He is smiling. He and his buddies are heroes, fighting for their country. This is the heart of Ukraine!
I'm not a certified tank mechanic but I do agree with the reporter that the huge chunk missing on the side of the tank due to being hit by anti-tank weapons probably is why it is inoperable.
Maybe it just ran out of diesel?
@@naughtyscouser4821 that’s definitely possible too. But that would also be beside the point. Because there are other videos where messages from Russian soldiers have been intercepted via radio, saying they’re out of fuel. In one instance, they asked for help, but help never came to them lol
"We put big hole in tank to go faster, glory to putin."
I don't know. Maybe that part was just rusty and got knocked off when it hit a lamppost.
no way to know if it is even Russian, as they use similar equipment. And per my rule, whatever the Fake News says, it is ALWAYS the opposite. So Ukrainian forces being smoked , and video deceptive. Would say same about Russia if they pushed their narrative.
I'm no detective, but I'd say the Russians were in a BIG hurry to get out of there.
Looks like a reenactment of the friggin battle of Kursk went down ...
They just didn't care. Regular russian infantrymen won't throw their lives into saving some equipment if they didn't even want to be there that much in the first place. Russian military is and always was about quantity, not quality.
@@taxesdeathandtrouble.1886 then where are they? Are you trying to say that the people imagined that the Russians were there?
@@andreasniedam9945 russian army does not take dead bodies or wounded with,do you think they will take matérials? It was said in different videos from differents medias
@@francoisfave2127 they (Russian) even left their comrades
I salute the Ukrainian people for fiercely defending their country against the unprovoked invaders !
I hope you're able to maintain the fight and retake ALL of your territories....including Crimea !

Thank you for this information. Such suffering of the Ukraine innocent people. Glory to Ukraine from Canada.
Hearing they were completely cut off from all communication. How big the suprise must have been when the Ukrainian army came back marching in a month later.
right
Not to be the bearer of bad news but Ukraine didn’t “retake” these villages. The Russians pulled out so they could bomb and shell them into oblivion like they did Mariupol.
@@keithhoss4990 not true at all but ok buddy
@@keithhoss4990 why do you think the Russians did that? You think they would occupy an area, then pull out just to bomb it? Are you dense? They first wanted to take it and use it, then realised they could not hold it, so they instead decided to bomb it because they were chased out and that was their only option. You're truly dense. I see ed in 2 wars,you wouldn't shell something like that if you could hold it first. The Russians tried holding these cities but couldn't. USA and NATO funding along with the will of Ukrainian fighters and no will of Russians made it to where Russia lost the cities.
@@Zuluknob LOL. Sorry pal but Patrick Lancaster is an ex-navy pro-putler communist but you go ahead and spout off all you want. It's the internet and all so...
Time to double down on military and other support to Ukraine. 🇵🇱 ❤️ 🇺🇦
Exactly. While Russia is trying to regroup for another assault in the Donbas, NATO needs to be shipping in as much equipment and supplies as possible. And special forces "advisors" and private military contractors as well. Foreign fighters are still pouring into Ukraine, so they will need time to train and integrate them into their forces. While Russian shelling continues, it would also be advantageous to get as many civilians west as possible.
@@texaswunderkind exactly this!!
NATO - and especially Germany - needs to help them in every way possible. They are doing the bleeding and dying for all of Europe and the free world. The Russian gangster needs to be driven out of every inch of Ukraine, including Crimea. No other end game is sustainable.
It's over due,send those jets! He don't need a reason to escalate he'll make one up! Let's giveth the good stuff!
@@texaswunderkind for sure,they aren't leaving just regrouping! Negotiating with putin is the same as Hitler!There's no reasoning with a monster!Nato is going to have to deal with him sooner or later.

Ukraine is a dictatorship. It’s run by whoever dc wants in there.
Do you know that in Ukraine all the opposition is imprisoned and that for criticizing the authorities even on the Internet you will be imprisoned? Do you know that only the state media works there, which obeys the authorities? this is a dictatorship, not what you say.
@@A98989I Why are you so lier? I'm living in Ukraine. I'm watching opposition media and vote for what I like. Each 5 or 10 year (or even faster) Ukraine has a new parliament and president.
@@vladmelnik8036 Yes? and who is Shary, for example? which opposition parties are now allowed?
@@A98989I All opposition parties allowed who's leading members are not committed crimes. The collaboration with enemy is a crime. Boiko and Levochkin for example are pro-Russian and are working without problems.
That's it now it's all ATGMS, Russians are using old post Soviet tactics, and Ukrainians are a proper modern professional army ( organized mass of men), which makes massive difference.
The Ukrainians are doing the sadly necessary fighting, bleeding and dying, but the US and NATO do get a little credit for the modern equipment and tactics training, even though I don't think they've done enough.
@@patrickfitzgerald2861 Since Ukraine is not a member of NATO, there is only so much that can be done without starting WW3.
@@joeshmoe9978 They need more help than they've gotten so far, and I'm not proposing a NATO ground force.
@@joeshmoe9978 The problem is that that will be Putin's threat every time if he isn't stopped and disarmed. Removal is preferable but maybe one step too many. That should happen from his own cabinet. It's ironic that he uses fake excuse of Nazis when he's the one benefiting from the same appeasement Hitler got.

They need to auction off all they confiscated loot from the oligarchs. That would probably build their town several times over.

Just fell sorry for the civilians, both government a corrupt. This Ukrainian president also was financed for oligarchs mafia, just like Putin.
Hope the people open their eyes, and don't think he's a hero,many people in Ukraine died to him became a president.

What is that long canon at 5:13 , ive never seen a monster cannon like that what is it and was it tracked or towed?
Look at that T-34/85 tank in the backround at 5:44. That is a WW2 memorial. Kinda ironic that the russians now destroy a town that fought against facism in WW2.
All this time Russia claimed that Ukraine is demolishing ww2 memorials (which is not true. Because Lenins statues has nothing to do with ww2). And now it is russia who ruins the memory of ww2. Total hypocrisy
And the russians of all people should know how difficult it is to fight against urban soldiers & civilians protecting their homes as like in Stalingrad
ukraine army is facism and they will free locals from facism
This town fights against American backed Nazis now.

War is cruel, and it is something that every individual does not want to experience personally, but if this war is your own choice, then you cannot blame the initiator of the war, because before Russia launched this war, countless Over the years, under your master's plan, you have launched a devastating war against the Russia as well as the whole world and all human being, 30 over bioweapon labs with corona viruses found in the labs is horrible, it proves to the whole world that the current covid19 virus was spread to Wuhan China by ARMerica in Oct. 2019 during the world military game is a real fact and so far it killed about 5 millions people in the world..
Zelensky is just a puppet of USA, his mission from his master is to irritate Russia to raise this war, and to drag the war till no end until Russia is exhausted and collapsed, lives of Ukraine is nothing to him, nothing to USA, the burst out laughing of vice president of USA has shown to the world that how happy USA government is seeing this war is finally in front of them, now USA needs not to fight the war by themselves, what it needs to do is only to provide weapons and calls its allies to provide weapons to Ukraine, their puppets in Ukraine will fulfill its mission for it.
My deep sympathy to Ukraine people, but unfortunately, until now, Ukraine people still do not know who is their real enemy, Ukrainians themselves chose this war ignorantly because the government they support is under the control of the American master. The American government is launching all kinds of evil deeds such as provocations, fabricating fake news, fake video, assassination, confrontations and wars against the world all the time, all the time thinking about how to turn its imaginary enemy ruthless, kill and let it disappear from the world, especially for Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. Ukrainians leave their own destiny under the control of the US government, do not want to control their own destiny in their own hands, and do things that endanger the security of other countries for a long time, that's fine, since you don't want to control your own destiny, now the Russians have come to help you control your destiny. Although it is cruel to say this, I have to say that this war was completely brought by you Ukrainians, you deserved it, this is the outcome of the provocation, how this war will end, is also in your own hands, but obviously the Ukrainian government is still dreaming of being able to defeat Russia with its super stupid ideas, vulnerable strength and support from other countries, Completely ignoring your own strength, position, right and wrong, reasonable and unreasonable, humanized and dehumanized, the security of the country and the people, etc., is a wrong path to the end, the poor Ukrainian government and people, You really brought this war on your own, and you deserve death and destruction, Putin is doing something good to the world and human being for destroying the root of US bioweapon labs and all acts against human’s interests and lives, full support to Putin.
In the far east, there is a small island that belongs to China but is currently self-governing, the administrators of Taiwan province of China, who, like you Ukrainians, are under the control of the American masters, ignorantly doing everything they can to provoke the Chinese Communist government. It is stupid to think that the United States---the common enemy of mankind, can give you all the protection, without considering your own abilities and all the favors, kindness and tolerance that China Communist Party has given to you, who are of the same origin and the same language, but the ignorance on Taiwan Island The person is so lucky, because the Chinese Communist Party will not eliminate all kinds of provocations from the ignorant island in a Russian-like war, but I absolutely hope that the Chinese government will bring the ignorant island people into its own management as soon as possible, and reduce the number of conflict, harassment from the USA--United States of ARM.

Good work of ""Heroes of Ukraine".
May God protect you.
Glory to Ukraine and all people.
When I hear statements of these elderly Ukrainians about the behaviour of Russian aggressors, I remember my grandmother's memories about the soldiers of the Soviet army in 1945.
So true! I read that the Russian soldiers were so impressed with clocks, they would take them from people’s houses and wear them around their necks. In fact I feel sorry for them, those soldiers in 1945 and these soldiers, thinking that they were so poor and with such low basic values. All offensive armies are like that.
You may wonder but Ukrainians were also a part of the Soviet army. And I hope you remember as well about 27 millions of ukrainians, belorussians, russians, jews and other nationalities killed during a planned genocide by Nazi Germany in 1941-1945. I am not against nazi supporting nazi. I am just against nazi.
My mother also told me about the German soldiers who drove them out of their own home in Belarus. My mom (she was 9 years old at the time) with a sick father (cancer), they dug a hole near their own house in the yard and lived in the pit for 3 years until the liberation of their native village in 1944. German soldiers lived in moms house, the soldiers ate all moms cattle and poultry. My mother often told us that the soldiers saw that she was starving badly, and my father could no longer walk. She often went to ask for bread from German soldiers, but the soldiers never gave her anything. They threw away their leftovers and mom picked them up and carried them to the pit to feed her father. My mother said that the German soldiers did not touch or mock them. They just didn't care about Mom's family. It is very important that my mother often told us that she still cannot understand why the German soldiers did not give a single piece to a hungry child for three years. My grandfather died of cancer in 1943. From hunger, my mother's older sister hanged herself (suicide). In peacetime, my mother gave birth to 6 children. I'm the last child. And I still don't understand why the German soldiers didn't feed the starving child then? My children know this story, I often tell them about how their hungry grandmother was not fed by a single German soldier for 3 years as a child.... Ordinary Nazism or fascism, what do you think? (google translator)
@@maple8859 You think the Soviet Red Army of 1945 was an "offensive army"? Did you miss the part where the Nazis invaded the USSR? Furthermore the USSR was a multi-ethnic state made up of thirteen constituent republics that all contributed to the victory, saying it was "Russia" erases one of the things that made the Soviet Union special, the union part of it. Similarly the Red Army which took Berlin was also multi-ethnic and there was a gulf between lived experiences. Soldiers from Moscow had a different prior experience than a farmer from Armenia.
The Russian Federation is also a multi-ethnic state, but its operation since 1992/94 has been in distinctly nationalist, and now ethno-nationalist lines. This direction is not uncommon for post-Soviet states, but it is a tragic outcome.
@@maple8859 I agree with you, because of the low basic values, Russian soldiers did not have the desire to poison German citizens in gas chambers and burn them in crematoriums, make soap from human meat, create concentration camps for millions of German citizens. I agree once again that only Germans with high basic European values could come up with this)))) Do you agree with me? (google translate)
my heart goes out to the valiant and noble people. they have persevered despite the wretched work of the russian government and army. save ukraine

Because the News Media are basically fake, and lie about everything, I simply choose the opposite of what the say , and it inevitably is the Truth. So if they push the narrative of poor 'ol Ukraine which btw is winning the battles, it MUST be polar opposite. Notice how they ALL push the same narrative. Try looking around more , put some effort into searching other sources. ( if they all said Russia was the good guy, then I would say oh Ukraine is the better party ).
There was whole globalist cabal supplying these farmers with weapons and training them. A very least they should have put up a resistance. But in return, their country is in complete shitter.

4:23 This is a Swedish anti tank weapon, probably a discarded AT4, one use weapon. The text is telling how to use the sights. Apparently if it is colder than -20 degrees Celsius, you are supposed to aim slightly above target. The "fork style" aim lets you target moving targets, by aiming with different forks, depending on the speed of the target.

It actually wasn't, there are photos of that tank just sitting there without damage, probably out of fuel or with engine trouble. That hole came later.
Pretty adequate comment in my opinion. :) There are many factors involved in abandoning a vehicle.
It is a reporter’s job to observe and report what they see, and gather information from eyewitnesses. It is not the reporter’s job to opine on all of the whys and Hows.

Good one 😜
Looks like AT technology outpaced Tank technology. Battleships please move over and make room for the tank.
@@dodgeplow not really...tanks can be useful if used right and if they are more modern the majority of what Russians forces use. These T72s, T80s, maybe even T90s have long since been very vulnerable to modern anti tank weapons but take latest version of Abrams, Merkava, Challenger or Leopard and their survivability is likely better.
the main issue is however the way Russians use tanks, often without any infrantry support and moving on open roads and cities making them easy targets.
If tanks really were that useless they would have been retired from every army long since but they wont because if used right they still provide superior mobility, armament and protection all combined to one in battlefield. But they have to be used right as part of the military, in co-operation with other forces instead of how Russians do it often without any coordination. And like said those T72s and T80s especially are outdated as heck, Russia never had the kind of money to modernize their armor and this is evident when they were only able to manufacture 100 T14 Armata tanks until they had to stop manufacturing them because they were too expensive.
Overall I wont argue against modern AT weapons, they are indeed powerful but thats exactly why tanks are useful only if used right and carefully. Just like any other part of military, you also cant use for example jet fighters in area that has strong anti air defense
@@Balnazzardi As a side issue, I worry China sees Ukraine as a modern ground war lab for studying how to invade its own neighbours, and throughout February was encouraging Putin to go ahead largely for that reason.

@@robertszkorup7964 Russian soldiers, like the Russian people, know perfectly well why this war is being waged, which is why its support is so high in Russian society. Ukraine has long turned into a principled enemy of Russia. There is nothing more terrible than hatred among former brothers, there is no greater reason for revenge than the betrayal of a former brother. Back in 2007, they chose to join NATO not in order to live happily and peacefully, but so that one day they could take part in the division and plunder of Russia. They knew how unacceptable it was for the Russians, but they were sure that their new owners would always protect them. Hatred of Russians appeared in Ukraine a long time ago, this is because the country is richer, the soul is wider. The 2008 war in Georgia showed that it was not as safe as it seemed to be a US pup and the idea of joining NATO was shelved for a long six years.

Secondly the figure of 15000, is including the military deaths, a lot of these have been Ukrainian military.
Thirdly Russia gave weapons and troops direct from the Russian military, so lets not pretend these deaths are innocent parties.
Regarding air strikes the only airstrikes I know about are the ones Russia did, so please provide sources?
Also if this is the case, how come the general public from these areas are rioting and fighting for the Russian military to leave, surely they would be relieved?
Why are the Ukrainian people not fleeing to Russia, the country they are bordering, but taking more dangerous routes to get to Poland?
сало украине?
undeniable brutality witnessed here. Never forget what happened to Ukraine, and stop forgetting history. We keep giving concessions to madmen who have no intention of stopping.
Once the paradigm sets in that there are "nazis" in Ukraine, you can bet that American university students will do all they can to erase this little skirmish from the history books ....
What "concessions" have been given to Vlad?
About time to stop giving concessions to USA madmen

Professor eloquently explains why this invasion is the fault of USA and why NATO expansion to the East is a big mistake which compromises US strategic security; he predicted this scenario a decade ago and describes in 2014

I like you Ukraine I like you 👍👍👍🤗
Damn...
Toda la gloria al bravo pueblo de Ucrania 🇺🇦. All the glory to the brave people of Ukraine. Greetings from Colombia
🇺🇦 🌻
I'm honestly impressed with the Ukrainian army , they are Spartan
At 4:23 a Swedish AT4 RPG is seen. It says "SKJUTREGLER" meaning "Rules for fireing". Under is instructions how to use the sights.
Just been looking at this town on Google maps - it looked like it was well cared for. Sad to see the state it is in now.
I’m in awe of these brave people! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Ukraine FOREVER 🇺🇦 Ukraine warriors!!
Ura ~~ Ura~~
Wow.
My brothers and sisters Ukrainians.. Keep on doing what is good.. God is there wirh you
Be strong... GOD IS GREAT!!!
Horrid to see how much damage was done by those looting, destroying and killing beasts! Hope, they will have to pay in their lives for the hurt and heartbreak they did to others.
Hope their families are proud of their disgusting sons.
SLAVA UKRAINI!
Now the world needs to help these civilians with food, shelter especially with winter coming..
Slava Ukraini! ✌🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Hail to Stepan Bandera !
Ukriane is winning the war !
No negotiation with Russia !
Bendera's Ukraine is winning why negotiate !
Very well done video appreciate the English subtitles and interviews with details showing how badly the town was destroyed . What pointless destruction of people and their community .
The heartwarming news Ukrainian patriots would like to hear everyday.
Go Ukraine!You are not alone!
It's such a disgrace what they did. I hope all the seized assets are sent to Ukraine for rebuilding, and that they make Ukraine better and more beautiful than ever.
Come on you Ukraine's, no surrender to him, he's done so much damage, he's cosily tucked up nicely while he sends his soldiers and top generals to their slaughter and killing innocent folk 🌹😥
so is Zelenskyy
@@bobibufi1389 Nope. Zelensky didn't send Ukrainians soldiers die in Russia. And he's currently in Kyiv, which is under attack.
@@hdlkm1145 If you watch some genuine military experts (not the ones on mainstream media) they believe Zelenskyy is in Poland (that's why Biden went to Poland, and not either Brussels or Berlin). Some of his videos seem to have green screen background. My point was twofold - that Zelenskyy is nicely tucked away and you can rest assured he will live to see the rest of the war unlike many Ukrainian soldiers. And two - he cannot win this war, many of his soldiers are dying needlessly, he should have signed some sort of peace agreement long time ago.
@@hdlkm1145 but many of his people have died because of him
@@bobibufi1389 It's important for Ukrainian morale that he remains alive, so it's fine if he os being kept safe for the time being.
Why are the canon stil in locck 1:17
Slav Ukraine,🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😀
Good job, people of Ukraine!
4:24 That's a Swedish Pansarskott m/86 (aka AT4-CS).
Their infantry is cowardly. An incredible statement. Glory to Ukraine
God Bless the brave ,heroic , Ukraine fighters who will not quit and keep on fighting no matter what , people of steel
Slava Ucrania 🇺🇦❤️ 🇺🇸
God bless and save Ukraine from the Evil Goliath, we in India are praying for nothing else but a victory for this sovereign nation. This month of the Rosary Mother Mary is with you and we recite the Rosary everyday with special mention of Ukraine gor their victory.
I have a great respect to Ukrainian people
I feel so sorry for these people, what they have been through is just unimaginable! I have such a desire to help them in some way, they have lost so much. 😔
When this is all over I want to go there and help, I can help clear rubble or something... I just don't even know, where would you even begin? All those people, all their lives turned upside down, everything they ever worked for has gone, families lost. I can't imagine their pain.
We can begin by giving money to reputable aid organizations.
One of my favourites is Doctors Without Borders, earmarked Ukraine.
@@spacelemur7955 - Yes, of course, that's a start, but I often wonder how much of the money actually gets to the people.

@@spacelemur7955 It is better to give the money to the "White Helmets".
