Ukrainian civilians prepare to join the fight against Russia | Focus on Europe

- Fear of a Russian invasion is growing in Ukraine. Civilians are also training to be soldiers.
For weeks, Russia has been massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Many fear a Russian invasion. Should Russia actually attack and advance further into Ukrainian territory, the Ukrainian army would probably face troops that are many times better equipped.
So a number of volunteers in Kiev and other cities are preparing for a different scenario: If Russia does invade, they plan to join the armed resistance in the occupied territories. How much such a force could actually accomplish is unclear. Women are also among them, like doctor Marta Yuzkiv, who trades her cozy suburban home for a muddy drill ground on weekends.

Germany knows what comes with war.
German leaders forget that deterrence prevents war, this was successful in the cold war. If war does break out, everything (oil, gas, etc.) and everyone (including Germany) will be affected.
Ukraine must have all the support it need to face off against Putin's ego.
A strong military alliance will deter Putin.

To the words of this lady I can add that many civilians are ready to seize their home and will not give it under occupation. No one wants to live as people do in the Russian-controlled Donbass. My family also belongs to the middle class, we work in IT and medicine, but we have already been trained in civil defense and are waiting for a permit to buy weapons. By the way, in Ukraine about seven hundred thousand people have hunting and short-barreled weapons.
@@robertbrown374 The NATO doesn't want war.
The NATO don't says Ukraine has to join them.
The only thing the NATO says is that every country decides for themselves. We should accept if Ukraine wants an alliance with whoever she likes.
Russia says that the NATO & Russia should decide about this without asking what Ukraine wants.
I don't think that's kind of fair...
Also, the only reason NATO sends military aid is because Russia has so many troops placed on the border. If a neighbouring country places troops on your border, it's logical you HAVE to do the same...
@@robertbrown374 NO, afterwards, you, the Russians will have to pay for all the damages and hardship you have created in Ukraine!

are you going to shoot them with those hunting rifles?

Russians re doing live fire off the coast of Ireland .. that could let them hit Wales and England.. Cornwall. They are at Britain's Back door so to speak. We are with you Ukraine.
I have so much respect for the people of Ukrainian! They just want Russia to leave them alone and stop trying to take over their country! They will fight to the death, just like a lot of Americans would if someone wanted to invade the US! All free countries of the world should be telling Russia to leave them alone and worry about their own people not the people of the Ukrainian! Let them choose for themselves what they want in their country!

Dear respectful Ukrainian ladies you have bigger balls then some of EU countires. 🙏🙏🙏
Proppably because they don't have to.

As an American woman, I must say, I respect the Ukrainian people who are standing tall and bravely in defense of their homeland. I would, without question, do the same if Russia was threatening the United States. I love my country -- I will do whatever I must to defend it. I strongly support the men and women of Ukraine. Hopefully, a peaceful outcome can be achieved.
As far as I know Swiss people can or maybe must attend similar trainings once a year and take home their rifles once military service is done. Imagine that would be the case for other countries. That'd mean in case of war Ukraine would have at least 20 million reservists mobilised within a day. A pure nightmare for any invader.
Then think about America.
Polls show that a third, yes you read that right, a third of the adult Ukrainian population are willing to take up armed resistance during a Russian occupation. That means Russia have to deploy almost 400000 soldiers to just occupy Ukraine to keep the insurgency in check
@@koushikdas1992 99 million gun owners and 375 million guns 😁😁
I'm not sure if these numbers matter if they don't have the right weapons. And seeing that Ukraine is asking for equipment, I guess their anti tank weapons are not enough. I would even go as far and say that sending their civilians out could then be a real disadvantage, because moral and willingness to continue any fight/war will be over immediately if civilians die.
@@mapaiohalulu8953 I'm not sure you understand how military works. No one will send civilians on front line. It was even said in this video. Civilians are trained for fights "behind front lines".
And what does it means morale to fight falls with civilians deaths? Do you think a regular person would be reluctant to go to war if his friend or acquaintance, or simple innocent compatriots died from clashing in fights with invader of your motherland?? Are you for real man? That's the first and the most uniting thing for people under attack, as all know if you don't help, the invader will come for your family when there will be no one to help you!
The morale goes down when your people die on foreign territory, especially if they don't understand what they fight for! Like Americans in Vietnam and USSR in Afghanistan, even thought technically there were troops.

Thankfully they got 5000 helmets from Germany ,that would be very helpful for defense ,would be great if they could get some toilet papers and paracetamol as well.Please Germany do your best to send it.More seriously I hope that Ukraine get out of this without scratch.They is already a war on the Eastern border with the backed separatists and that is already too much.I love Ukraine and it's people being myself a future Kyiv resident.

If 1/3 of the civilian people would have a rifle, the Russians would never get hold of Ukraine. Especially in the urban cities.
Even the best military infantry can't fight effectively inside a city, where civilians shoot from cover.
It would be a nightmare for the Russian soldiers.
Most advantages of hardware/technology are lost inside a city warzone. What remains is a man to man, rifle to rifle, an eye to eye.
Like in Israel, my country. If you are willing to die for your country, your country is invincible. It is the human spirit that makes an invisible military, not the hardware/technology. If each and every civilian is willing to die for his country, you got an invincible country.

As a young man in the UK, if you joined a Rifle & Pistol Club you signed a contract with the State. In return for the PRIVILEGE of membership and your free training you vowed to use those skills to defend your country in time of necessity... for the very reasons we are seeing now.
These "clubs" produced highly trained and precise marksmen and women within a civilian environment.
Military Service (of a professional, well structured, equitable and gender indiferent nature) should be reestablished for ALL NATO countries.
A high quality Military Service might also go a long way to help young people who are lost in an Education System that does not contemplate or understand their abilities or needs, offering them direction, training and professional options in the future.. .iIn or out of the Armed Forces!
YeeeHaaa UberNATO Military Service!
Anybody that can pull a trigger can make a difference.
Ukrainians seem so kind and down to earth people, such a shame they're in the middle of this bs.
They deserve this
Good for Ucrania 👋👏💪💪👋👏👍
Ukraine should have never given up the nukes.
Shoot all the bullets you want, Us humans have been at war since sticks and stones, The stye of war has changed, All these poor soldiers on all sides will be blown up by drones within the first week, Nothing prepares you for when you see your brothers in arms blown to bits infront of your eyes
They will look back and wonder how they lost so fast
Ukrainian President : There will be no war. Let our economy stabilize.
Russian President : No intention to invade Ukraine
Western Media : WAR! WAR! WAR!
Yeah! And the CIA like always is behind everything in the situation in Ukraine....
Did 100,000 Russian soldiers surround Ukraine to kiss them and make amends?
@@HakmanTim More than 300000 US soldiers have stationed around South China Sea, Japan, Taiwan and Korean bases right now. The number of US soldiers around the area has rosen for about 40% in the last 4 years. Does that mean US gonna invade China?
@@DinulMindula Are the Russians stationed at Ukrainian military bases?
@@HakmanTim Does south china sea inside US naval zone to keep carrier strike groups constantly?
Very sorry to see how we human created roadblocks for our own prosperity and peaceful living. Geopolitics, aggression and ego all are stopping a larger human population doing their human job and still busy like animals doing territorial fights. We wish countries in neighbourhood respect each other and prosper towards a peaceful human settlement instead of killing each other.
Ukrainian should avoid this war on their door step.
Raising the price for occupation seems a smart move. This isn´t some smal country. Sure military victory might be swift but pacification afterwards might turn into a nightmare.
Did someone poke the Russian bear 🐻😂😂😂😂😂 is that why Putin is crying and decided to create a war for nonsense.
Don't poke the bear, just kick the Pooshit out of it!
Maybe he got jealous because the US and its allies have more of their attention to China. He needs to be validated again and wants more tribute.
@@enshongmiranda he’s scared of nato on Russia’s doorstep. It’s like if Mexico became part of the now defunct Warsaw Pact.
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Mathias, you go! I like how she said "one person can make a difference". 😁
