    I was just about to say the 70yo man is really a strong man then he said he is tough Ukranian. Good for him, he is not broken. 💪

    после таких претензий украинцев... Напомню что украинцы практически ничего потратить не потратили на своё собственное вооружение в течение 30 лет существования Украины. никак не готовились в войне и даже не сохранили авиацию u флот. HO сохранили Все мосты чтобы Орки могли комфортно наступать на Украину.
    Америка оказывает огромную помощь и нашa экономикa этого не выдерживает
    6,4 млрд долларов + 12,6 млрд долларов +1,0 млрд долларов +40 млрд долларов американской помощи. Это только военная помощь А сколько гуманитарной. Она идёт другими пакетами.
    сколько военной помощи которая поступала малыми пакетами по 600 млн, иногда меньшими суммами.
