Well said, Olena. Bravo. Thank you for the tribute to our American who paid the ultimate price for what he believed. May he rest in peace and all those who perished. 🇺🇸🇺🇦💕
Very informative. We'll done.
Olena, thank you for explaining so much to us. ♥
Thank you for reporting on what’s going on over there. In the U.S., it’s difficult to find daily news, except for the BBC which we can watch on our PBS channel. And the New York Times (you can select to receive all Ukraine news sent to your email). 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Olena , you maybe emotionally exhausted, never give up! This is your way of fighting back!!
Thanks for this education. Slava Ukraini
You see, I finished this video!🦾 Better later than never. Now let's try to sleep.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS HISTORY....BLESSINGS
And thank you for the history lessons, so necessary to understand the complexities of a region for which many of us had no clue. You are so talented, Olena, to bring it all home to us with the tragic human side of the Ukrainian widow of the American soldier.😢
Thank you dear Olena for sharing your history and knowledge with us as always.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Glory to Heroes 🇺🇦
Ukraine is UNBREAKABLE
May his spirit journey be swift and true. Thank you For all you do Olena. I pray Ukraine is at peace soon and all the lovers can be reunited❤️
Hi Olena. Thank you for this highly informative video. I’ve learned so much from you. Hugs. 🤗🇺🇦
Beautifully said!! ❤️ no other words are necessary! May God bless Ukraine 🙏🏻🌻🙏🏻
you make me cry every day
I am sorry. I am crying with you, Stefan
Amen Olena and thank you.🙏💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
You came through loud and clear Olena. Thank you for sharing yourself so openly. There is a palpable sense of dread. I hope it will pass soon... at least lessen a bit. This past 15 months have created a connection that can be felt where ever we all are. I am glad that you and your family are safe, at the same time I know it is a tangled mess of conflicted emotions for you. Please know that you are fulfilling your part of the bargain. You keep us informed, and you share your true heart. Without you and those like you, who would keep the world informed? Thank you so much. ❣
Dear Olena, thank you for this educational video! Slava Ukraini! #Ukrainians are heroes💙🇺🇦💛🌻
♥️
Bless her and him.
Very enlightening, Olena. Thank you. And no worries about comparing to 9/11. You feel everyday what we felt on that day. Rest in peace Christopher. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 💙 💛
Sending love from Canada
❤️🙏
Thank you, Olena, for this very informative yet heart wrenching video and as always for speaking TRUTH to power re history. As an American, I take no offense whatsoever for your comparing Russia's unprovoked war of terror on Ukraine to 9/11. There are many parallels although your country remains under continuous bombardment 24/7. This will be coming to a close soon I pray. Slava Ukraini! #StopRussia #RussiaIsATeroristState #RIPChristopherCampbell
Thank you
Dear Olena , this video is disturbing but well done . It’s showing present day events in Kyiv , those emotional days you managed alone with the children keeping yourselves safe while Serhiy served in the Army & a historical perspective of Europe after the Second World War . You’ve presented so much to digest in this video . For myself , I will have to review it several times to understand the European Ukrainian & Russian post war history involvement . In love & war the story of this young couple is so sad, the bringing together of two different cultures in love .Singularly Olena you are getting your message out & donations 😊.from your followers are helping your causes in Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦
As always thank you for the information about your lovely country. I'm so sorry there are so many still living in fear every second. The anticipation has to be grueling. The love story between the soldier and his betrothed was both lovely and heartbreaking. He died the way he lived, honorably. Unlike Russian barbarians. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 🇺🇦💙💛💪❤️🤍💙
You really know history. All so true. I m not sure many people around the world know any of this. Hitler had promised Russia that he wouldn t attack them Of course he lied and that s when Russia started fighting in the second world war. Thank you for sharing all this and I hope that Ukraine wins soon.
Glory to Ukrain
Glory to Heroes
My heart is full of sadness, Olena. So sad about the death of Christopher James; so sad for his fiancée; sad for the people of Ukraine. Thank you for keeping us informed. Slava Ukraini 💙💛🇺🇦
Heroyam Slava 💛💙
He died doing something heroic and desperately needed: using lethal force vs deranged, evil, bully who has decided his potential, larger adversaries are - to put it bluntly - aren't serious about doing WHATEVER is needed to defeat this globally impactful, naked aggression.
I think you should compare this to both 9-11 (for terror part of it) AND Pearl Harbor...which had far more drastic global, industrial war repercussions (WWII) than bin Laden.
The trouble with Russia is that we had victory over fascism but the end of Cold War didn't finish communism - only the USSR as a political entity. Communism's day still is yet to come...in Red China and Russia as led by KGB Colonel Putin.
As a footnote, maybe if USSR hadn't signed the NAZI-SOVIET Non-aggression Pact (08/39), which divided Poland in half and agreeing not to interfere with German invasion. This put Hitler's forces 200 miles closer to Soviet frontier and ended up costing Russian people (and captive Ukraine) 20,000,000+ lives. I don't think Russia ever really recovered, thanks to communist scheming and immorality.
Russian evil has been getting a free ride behind long defeated NAZIism. Notice they accuse any who disagree with them or help Ukraine (Pol/Lith, et al) as being "NAZIs" that may need to be addressed later. Sadly, this moronic tactic works on many.
@@teller1290 That's a good point I hadn't really thought about. Russia thought it was to be on the winning side with Hitler in 1939. The sense of betrayal and loss of face that must have entailed for them when he betrayed them... so much so that Russia pretends the WWll began in '41 to avoid admitting that Russia was intending to carve up Europe along with Hitler as his partner, had he not betrayed Russia..
And even after the war the western allies avoided mentioning that fact , that Russia was never really one of the allies, that Russians would have been happy to destroy the allied countries along with Hitler had they not had to suddenly defend themselves from him and pretend to be in the same side. They were only out for their own interests and preserve a deliberate national amnesia about having really been an ally of Hitler instead
@@shooster5884 I agree with much of what you typed but to be completely honest, let me say this: neither Hitler NOR Stalin were deluded enough to believe either had a long future with the other, being competing dictators with competing philosophies bordering each other, esp with Hitler's racial views.
Stalin's actual hope was that after Poland (the re-creation of whose borders, post-WWI, had been a HUGE outrage to Germans, both NAZI and otherwise), Hitler would take his growing military forces and attack in the west...as he did and as his book, "Mein Kamp," strongly suggested he would. Hitler's desire for revenge against France was plainly stated and I'm sure Stalin and his people had studied that book.
Stalin's great hope was that German military would get bogged down again in the west, as in WWI. This time, Stalin, with a far more capable military than Tsarist Russia had in 1914, planned on waiting a couple of bloody, exhausting years, and rolling right into E. Eur and Germany and it being an easy win by then. But Stalin must not have paid close attention to how easily Germany's military disposed of Poles' not insignificant army; and did so thru then revolutionary use of armor, aircraft, artillery - all coordinated through excellent radio communication not available previously in history.
There's a story out there somewhere that described the look on Stalin's face when he read the news headline of then mighty France surrendering, shockingly, in six weeks, with Brits forced off the continent at the same time.
But even then, the ace up his sleeve was two-fold: 1) the vast space of Russia surely would prove too daunting for Hitler to try and 2) Hitler was making out like a bandit taking advantage of cut-rate grain and oil Stalin provided him under 1939 Pact; two things Hitler had in short supply, otherwise.
But like my late dad used to say, "You can't conna con man," and Stalin was fooled by Hitler. You see, Hitler's "Lebensraum" and racial obsessions led him to attack the USSR. Stalin, by 1941 (or even '39) must've known Hitler's views towards Jews and communists...but I don't think even Stalin fully grasped how tightly Hitler linked the two together as a single "problem;" that Hitler wasn't just engaging in inflammatory rhetoric to the German people when he verbally attacked Jews...he meant it, down to his marrow. And Hitler linked Judaism and "Bolshevism" together as one. Hitler HAD to attack Stalin eventually.
Stalin (truly an ice cold psycho of epic proportion...and a paranoiac), was more practical and less of an ideologue than was Hitler. Practically, a German attack on USSR then was ill-advised. BUT, ideologically, such attack was inevitable, especially after Germany's last enemy on the continent was defeated and Germany failed in defeating or neutralizing Great Britain. All that territory and all those resources and good land being held by, in Hitler's mind, racially inferior communists...was an imbalance in the universe that had to be righted.
Incredible times, incredible dictators, incredible forces coming together that shaped our world. Fortunately, my imperfect country (USA) was at its very best in those years and was instrumental in defeating one dictator (two, counting imperial Japan) and road blocking the other dictatorship vent on world domination...USSR.
A lot of decades have passed, even since end of Cold War. I'm uncertain about my own country in dealing with such people in the future. Hoping for the best.
In Israel that also uses the US Patriot Defense System, they also experience some damage from the falling rockets that the system shoots down. No defense is perfect, but better than the alternative.
Thank you for this history and your remembrance and tribute to the American soldier that was killed. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava.
bestie~ love it. that is fantastic video!
Thank you
❤ Well said Olena and Thank You for taking the time to give us all such detailed background information. Christopher is a hero. ❤Much love to his girlfriend… how heartbreaking. 😢
So sad Olena. Thanks for the update. And we should also remember former marine from Cleveland Cooper Andrews’ who was recently killed in Bakhmut, also fighting for a better world as well Keep the faith, Slava Ukraine.
I fully understand why people stay in their apartments after a year of war and missile attacks and hope that they are not the one family victim of a nights attack.. trying to maintain some sort of normal life amid the nightmare.
My heart goes out to all Ukranian civilians whether they stayed in the country or are refugees in another country the past year.
I wake up some days and still ask myself is this really happening.. one European country trying to demolish another European country and killing and destroying so much - cities, towns, villages , all the services generations have worked hard to build in their communities.. ? in this day and age... ? with the memory of WW ll and the cry then and since of 'never again' in people's hearts and minds..?
I don't want Putin to be killed, I want him somehow betrayed and captured and tried in The Hague and to spend a long life in prison. I don't want Russia to be excused as a nation, I want the country to be defeated in this war and only on the road to redemption when and if the decent Russians there politically prevail, round up all those responsible for the wars of the regime and jail them for life..
Otherwise let the federation fall apart and Russia itself become a totally irrelevant state..
Hello!
Hi!
I know you voted for Poroshenko, and so did Denys and Anna. I am glad Zelenskyy is working out for all of you at this time.
Very informative as usual. The two days for Victory Day remind me of the two Christmas holidays that Ukraine celebrates. I'm sure at some point, these two-day holidays will be celebrated on just one day each and the two-day holidays will be relegated to the history books.
I found it interesting how Russia interprets when WWII started, only after they started fighting against Germany rather than when Germany started the war with Russia's help.
Seeing what these monsters do makes my soul hurt. Longing for the day Ukraine will be free.
Je veux donner mes condoléances à cette jeune femme et a la famille du soldat américain qui est disparu en héros. Lâche pas Olena, nous allons tous ensemble gagner cette guerre contre les terroristes. Poutine a pas le droit d'exister et son régime aussi. C'est trop grave. La Chine qui ce met a travers sa. Eux aussi sont mieux de ce tenir tranquille, ils ont pas d'affaire a faire la police au Canada, si ça prend une guerre nous sommes prêts. Il faut absolument ce débarrasser des pays qui sont trop corrompu. Sinon dans 10 ans nous allons être contrôlé par des terroristes. Encore une fois je pense a vous a tous les jours. Poutine sera dévorer par le crocodile. 🙂💙💛❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🤞🤞✌️👋👋👋👋👋
Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Hero’s . 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💞💞💞🥰🇺🇦🇺🇦
I am trying to help a family of 4 in Kyiv come to the US right now. It is terrifying to know they are experiencing this and I can do nothing yet waiting for USCIS to approve them. So far their 6 yr old daughter has been confirmed but we are waiting for the remainder of the family to be approved. I pray for the entire country but can only help a little. Thank you for your updates. Your video about coming to Jacksonville helped put my involvement into action.
Thank you for doing this 🙏❤️
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤
😢
Slava Ukraine ❤❤
🙏🇺🇦💛💙
Rest in Peace Christopher! Russia will be defeated. Slava 🇺🇦
I can’t believe this is still happening and you are right. It’s like 9/11 every day 😭😭😭
Thank you for such a beautiful remembrance of the American soldier killed.
May Bakhmut hold today the 9th of May, and may all missiles and drones sent by Nazi Russia be safely intercepted and no one killed or injured by them.
Strength and victory to Ukraine.
Olena, what do you think about Ukraine dropping what I call the "Russian alphabet" to further distance themselves from Russia.
Thank you for explaining all this history. Yes wouldnt it be nice if Russia would have to listen to siens going to off, just to understand what it feels like. This war must end soon, putin needs to face the war crimes for this terrible war. He is the criminal ..Stop Putin and his war that makes no sense at all.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Glory to the Heroes. Aloha, love and peace from Hawaii. ❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️🇺🇦☮️❤️
a lovestory ended by Putin. #stoprussia
It was never a love story #stoprussia
@@WHATISUKRAINE I mean the marriage of the american soldier that never came
If anyone is interested in more details of Ukraine's role in world war II . I would recommend Timothy Snyder's novel " Bloodlands- Europe between Hitler and Stalin. Putin uses victory day not only to show his military might (except this year) , but also to support his propaganda: to protect the motherland.
My perspective on 9/11: Now we know what the rest of the world feels. So I don't feel offended when you compare the bombings in your homeland to 9/11. Prayers for Ukraine on defeating the terrorist Russia in Putin's War. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
