Find that 18 year old and show him what they said, you do what you must to stay alive, when one of yours is taken consider that the enemy knows you, it's then up to you to stay alive and keep going. Great job Richard.

He will. Give these folks credit eh? Painting them as poor victims isn’t helpful, they surely don’t want your pity! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Veteran here, a strong social network of support (and from the government) can are all the difference when it comes to trauma and pTSD, and from the way Ukrainians have been handling their vets so far, they seem to get it right! Ukrainians are survivors, not victims! 🇺🇦🌻🇨🇦

Richard Engel, thank you from my Ukrainian heart for this documentary and for showing the world what Ukrainians are going through. And thank you to all the people who took their time and watched it. As long as the rest of the world is watching, remembering, and helping - Ukraine is standing and fighting back. I moved to Canada a long time ago and I know that many western taxpayers are annoyed and angry because their governments help Ukraine. And I am thankful to those others who understand why we need to help. You can not be a democratic country halfway and this is what happens when you tolerate and trade with dictatorships like Russia. Please more sanctions on the Mordor and more ammo to Ukraine.

Well, it’s happening to women, and trans people (especially vulnerable trans and intersex kids) who are having their basic human rights stripped including basic health care and bodily autonomy right in the US since hundreds of anti-trans bills are weaving their way through your legislatures across the country. Corpses are afforded more bodily autonomy SMH in muhhh-rica. While y’know, actually progressive and forward thinking countries are codifying the rights of these groups to protect them, so they can’t be used as political pawns to stir hatred. And this is not meant by any means to minimize the absolute horrors and inhumane situation in Ukraine 🇺🇦, far from it. They know a thing about genocide though. And the anti-trans rhetoric is truly bordering on genocide, if these bills pass. Women will die, from back alley abortions (entirely preventable) and trans kids will die from being denied life-saving health care. So.

This brought a tear to my eye. I'm happy for the Ukraines. Thinking of the 17 year old lad. When my father was in the Dutch underground, everything was compartmentalised. He only knew 3 or 4 other members. He was taught if captured, everyone talks when tortured. He was expected to hold out 24 hours. That should give the people in his cell time to leave. I think someone in his cell got caught. He left with the idea of going to Spain. There was a chain of people who would help him and pass him along. At some point the chain was broken and he had to find his own was. The French caught him and handed him to the Germans. He ended up in Buchenwald. Since I'm writing this, he obviously survived the war.

I escaped in April, through the front lines and ru block posts, as it was extremely dangerous for an American to be there. But many friends survived there for the full 8.5 months of the nightmare.

Great show from Mr. Engel! I am surprised Corporate Media would present this material! I was planning on going to Duesseldorf ( I am learning German language, culture, history for several years) but now I want to go to Warsaw, Baltic States and Ukraine once the war is won to help with rebuilding.

This piece says so much about war… and peace. I will work it into my high school English classes here in Kyoto, Japan. Thank you so much for this important reportage.

What an amazing and inspirational story, and so well filmed and produced! I have to tell you that I am an old woman, and yet it had me imagining what I would be able to do if an enemy invaded and occupied my home. Glory to Ukraine and to all the men and women who have suffered and stood strong against the evil that invaded their lives.

Engel is one special dude. Great reporting. I hope we can celebrate an award for him and his team ---- in a free and protected Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.

I wish I could put my message in Ukrainian. Sasha was a kid at 17 who showed great courage absolutely no one has the right to condemn him he is absolved of any guilt he holds. Close the door there is a new journey and fresh start I hope he finds solace and makes peace with himself and finds happiness.

@peterkralt2478 Год назад

You don't need to be absolved for which you hold no guilt, everybody talks eventually when being toturted and the few who don't they die!!!. There is no guilt in being a human with human limitations. The guilt is on the one that tortures and not on the one who is tortured!!

@gregmchale7974 Год назад

a tragic story but filled with hope and courage the message of Freedom rings loud around the world, such sacrifices are so costly. as Churchill stated, "'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few' Ukraine you are awesome and I pray your future will be bright, filled with wonder and peace.

No foreign country would be able to do this in the US. Everyone here has their own guns. And I don't say that as a gun lover, it's just a fact.

@maggieliz1059 Год назад

@@AspectStudio It's actually a very strong argument. I lived in Europe and all over the USA. The mentality in America is very much one that would dump all these stupid domestic political fights and stand side by side against any potential invader. Every city, every town, every village, every home would defend itself. If you don't have a gun, you'd get one or two and fight to the death defending the freedom we enjoy here.

@kennethvincent9971 Год назад

I agree with everything in this reply thread. Unfortunately our freedoms will be taken not from an outside force but from within. It already came very close on January 6th, 2022. This country will fall and it will be neighbor vs neighbor, city vs city, state vs state. I hate saying this cause this country truly could be a beautiful place like the writer's of the constitution envisioned. 🇺🇦🇺🇲

@meeeka Год назад

@@maggieliz1059 perhaps in the past folk would have dropped everything to defend themselves and their neighbors but with the divisions that have been created in the past 20 years, I suspect no one would would drop everything to defend every one. They might actually get rid of folks they actually wanted to .

Thank you for not sugar coating the story. It's inspiring and amazing to hear the stories of Vlad, Mykhailo, and Nastya, but it's also important to hear from Sacha and not pretend that everything was cool and exciting. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered so much for doing the right thing.

A great video!! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 I definitely cried a lot. When the woman named Valeria, her baby, and her mother were killed by a Russian missile it was unbelievably upsetting. Those deaths were caused by Putin and his evil Orcs; only justice can satisfy our outrage at their barbarity!

To the young man who is suffering in silence for "betraying" his friends, hang in there! This was a horrific situation, a lot of us, Ukrainians, UNDERSTAND AND FORGIVE! I hope you read this. This will pass, hold on! Find your faith and find someone to talk to. You may be so very relieved to find that it is OK to pick up and move on from this. Vse bude dobre!
