The Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things in Ukraine | Oleksandra Matviichuk | TED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2023
- How do we defend people's freedom and dignity against authoritarianism, when the "law of war" doesn't seem to apply anymore? In the face of the Russian occupation of Ukraine, human rights lawyer and Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk considers this question every day. Exposing the failures of the international system of peace and security, she highlights the capabilities of ordinary people during extraordinary times - and urges us all to take an active position in the struggle for freedom. (This talk contains graphic descriptions.)

Thank you Oleksandra for the compelling, emotional speech. You're right we need to help Ukraine to VICTORY, not just tow the line! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
brilliant and very clear speech from Oleksandra. it's full of right messages and empathy, as well as clear statement that international law does not work now...and hence it needs to be reviewed to bring justice and return names to those people who suffered from russian army
Thank you, Oleksandra. Your speech was very strong and really touching. I do share all your points and I could not agree more. I wish the civilized world starts claiming they would support Ukraine until victory, and not just "as long as it takes!
Слава Україні! 💙💛
Thank you for this inspirational truth! Please don’t stop sharing true democratic values! Dictators must not prevail!
is attacking ukraine means the western democracy is under attack?
😃
It’s so important to understand difference between victory and surviving! Ukraine needs victory. Only victory brings us peace and justice.💙💛
Thank you so so much for inviting Oleksandra Matviichuk! ❤❤❤
Moving, intelligent, informative, and completely accurate. Thank you for such a powerful talk, Ms. Matviichuk. 💛💙 Just as you said, Western democracies must support Ukraine to win, and we have failed to help end this invasion -- this war -- swiftly. Thank you also, for making it crystal clear what it means to "live under occupation." Russia must be held accountable for their war crimes in Ukraine, and in many other countries which they have occupied. Yes, same with Lukashenko.
Oleksanda's speeches are always very clear and with facts. Finally TED has invited a competent speaker 💪💪💪 thank you!!
Thank you, Oleksandra! You're a great representative of Ukrainian people
Very eye-opening and inspiring. Thank you Oleksandra 🙏🏻
Thank you for the truth and inspiring words!
So true. So shocking. So inspirational.
People are not numbers.The life of each person matters.
This also means that we, if we able, can contribute by writing, speaking, voting, donating, volunteering in whatever capacity, to stop aggression and war crimes.
Thank you for representing us so well, Oleksandra. You are our pride. It's refreshing to hear the truth laid out plainly.
Дякую вам, пані Олександро, що захищаєте права та представляєте усіх українців закордоном!
Sunch an inspiration! Thank you for your work, Oleksandra❤
Чудовий виступ, дякую, потрібно більше відео для західної аудиторії
Дякую вам, Олександро! Ваша чесність та шляхетність більше запевняє, ніж хитра дипломатія!
Extraordinary take. Слава Україні!
Дякую за виступ, пані ❤
My god, I am tearing up listening to this speech. Thank you so much, you and your people are so inspiring. Thank you so much for all that you're doing for people of Ukraine, Europe and the world.
Пані Олександро, дякуємо за Вашу роботу ❤
Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that this war is happening. I hope that Ukraine will win faster and partners will be helping us more willingly. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
thank you for saying the truth.
Олександро, дякую!
Thank you, Oleksandra for speaking the truth! It's very important that the world and TED community heard it and us as a nation.
I tried to post a pro-UA comment on here and it got flagged so hard, so fast by opposing propaganda departments that it was removed in seconds. Wow. Class acts, the lot of you.
Can you repeat it again? I'm interested in what it is about
I agree - the same experience. My comment was also removed almost immediately
Almost any comment section under a news video is filled with UA supporters. But keep up the victim mindset💪
@@vastpiano5552 This isn't some random news outlet with spin. It's TED, where academics and elites who eschew the daily news go for new ideas. Try to stay classy. Going around the internet insulting strangers isn't a good look. It seems that specific word choices get the comments deleted. Not just pro-UA, but anything that talks about the conflict being... [redacted] and how UA's spirited defense is... [redacted]. (note, this comment was censored to prevent it from getting deleted}
@@vivecomoquieres fyi, I repeated what I said in reply to your comment and it got deleted again.
You raise important topics, thank you for the truth and all you have done
Thank you Olexandra! We will win! Slava Ukraini!
Thank you for your informative talk! Thank you for raising awareness about our country! Glory to Ukraine! 💙💛

Thank you Oleksandra. We all here on the frontline are grateful that you convey our beliefs, fears and stand for us in front of humanity .
Oleksandra delivered an outstanding and exceptionally lucid speech, replete with accurate messages and a strong display of empathy. She also made a clear assertion that the current state of international law is ineffective and in need of revision to ensure justice and restore the identities of those who have endured suffering at the hands of the Russian army.

Thank you for spreading the truth about fight for democracy and freedom. It's important that as many people as possible support the fight and help Ukraine to win. Ukraine should win otherwise it should be occupied. Occupation is not end of the war, it's enother state of war with tortures, sexual violence and more death. You do not need to be Ukrainian to help Ukraine, you just need to be human.
Thank you for telling it like it is! Your speech was honest, touching and inspirational!

Exactly. Ukraine must win and the international rule of law must be restored
Very strong speech! We are strong when we United. We will win because we are not alone, because the truth is with Ukraine
I totally agree with her. I hope Ukraine gets is freedom. What ever Ukraine has suffered in the past two years, Palestine has been suffering from for the pasr 75 years. Invasion, killing, raping, taking prison l... Etc. I hope humanity prevails all over the world.
Thank you for such a powerful speech. Thank you for spreading the truth. And for all russian and tankie ghouls in the comments - you will never prevail.
Please listen to her ❤❤
