    One man in a moment of stress utters a sentence that is now historic. A sentence that displayed Ukranian defiance and courage that was heard around the world. He and his comrades have suffered but nobody denounced him and he, himself never surrendered his dignity. We can all see that he has suffered but this is also a message to the world "Yes they beat me and tortured me but I won". I hope he has a speedy and complete recovery. Slava Ukraini, heroyam slava.

      How long can you speculate on this lie? It was originally a lie, none of them ever said this phrase. Austin and Millie continue to tell their senators that the spirit of Ukrainians is strong, they will continue to fight for their "independence" to the last))). That's probably why they decided to pull out this old fairy tale. And they decided to add that the Russians tortured, tortured Ukrainian fighters, but they showed "miracles of cunning and perseverance" and did not tell the enemies anything! I can't laugh, kindergarten, pants with straps, as we say)))))

    SLAVA UKRAINI! Your courage has inspired the whole world...or, well, everyone I care about, anyway. I'm American, and I will remember this war for my entire life. I will remember "Russian warship". I will remember Slava Ukraini. I will remember that WWII was NOT the war to end all wars, but that war in fact is a constant in this world. Powerful people will always try and enslave others, but we do not have to let them win. Sometimes, bad shit happens, and people make evil decisions and the correct and courageous thing is to fight them off with your last breath. Glory to God, SLAVA UKRAINI!

      Reason they hunted for him is that Russia fears heroes and personas that can rally the nation that they chose to oppress. Remember Katyn where Soviet NKVD murdered tens of thousands of Polish officers and members of the intelligentsia for the same reason.

"We arent doing such things, we are true communists, also, we do love peace and are fighting for world peace", or whatever they say nowadays... But look, once we begin to scrutinize closer what Soviet and now Russia does; they TOO are doing all the dirty things and tricks they accuse others of doing... Perhaps even worse...

WWII taught the world not to appease those who invade unprovoked simply to take by force. I hope that Ukraine has a long & happy future ahead of it & this war is no longer than can be helped. even though the government of Russia & many in its Military are making great crimes I hope for the sake of the common Russian people that they end this travesty & get on with making the lives of their own people better. thank you for inspiring people to stand up for their homes.

      📃
      Par exemple : hépatique, hémi-, hédoniste, hégémonie, et les divinités Hèra, Hercule, Hèbè, Hèphaïstos...

    Glad to meet the 1st warrior who made his country proud all over the world and his loyalty spread in the globe in 4 words. 4 words that the planet made it a slogan and represents our feelings against RUSSIAN EVIL. I wish him speedy recovery to him and to his comrades and I want to tell him that we are so proud of all Ukrainian heroes. 💙💙💙💛💛💛👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪

    Nothing but respect here You are among a elite group who have been captured POW style by the Russians and live to tell about it You will never have to think if you are hard enough ever again to deal with any situation
