The Ukrainian Pensioners Who Walked Across The Front Line In Donetsk

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Two villagers in the Donetsk region escaped the Russian occupation of their village by walking across the front line in April. Ivan Vivsyanyk, 88, had no interest in the Russian passport he was told to accept, and Lidia Stepanivna, 98, felt the same. They walked 10-kilometers to freedom.

Love from Canada
There was no need for this conflict except for the usa pushing it
Hello, I am am American citizen. Many months back I made a visit to The Four Points Sheraton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I met a couple from Ukraine; they were retired and lived in a large community in Canada where they raised contributions to build a church for Ukrainian citizens in the community. We had the opportunity to have a conversation about the current events in Ukraine. I have followed this situation closely and donate to United24. The woman was very verbal and was pleased that I cared so much about her country; her husband simply wiped tears away and said that sadly at his age there was nothing he could do for Ukraine other than donate and pray… We parted, however we bowed our heads and in silence sent a special prayer for Ukraine. I left with so many mixed feelings, however the highlight of my trip was having met these 2 Ukrainian people. Have a wonderful day.
I'm from Canada. And I hate Ukrainian Nazis. Bandera, Shukhevych , SS Galitchina and those modern ones. You don't have a right to speak from all the Canada. 👎
I'm from Canada too. And I hate Ukrainian Nazis, from WWII like Bandera, Shukhevych, SS Galitchina and a modern ones like zelepensky and hid clique! You don't have a right to speak from all the Canada! You deleted my comment once sure you'll do that again. But you won't stop me like you'll never stop Russia from clearing Ukraine from modern Nazis. Lets play this comment game.

What for ? Why?.I guess U have no idea about the reality I am from Crimea The first victims of the war were guys from Berkut, police who were shot by the Ukrainian Nazi Right sector, February 18 th , 2014 Sure, U are not aware of the fact Police guys were on their duty, near Rada, Ukrainian parliament Nazi went to kill Policemen were from Donbass and Crimea Andrey was from the city where I live He had two sons, Their Dad was shot by the Uki Nazi Why? It was Ukraine that started killing Well, February 20 th 2014 Have U ever heard about Korsun? Crimeans were on their way back home when the buses were stopped by the armed coup supporters, people were humilated , six of eight buses were burnt I guess U would blane Putin for that?)Police was called, the police car arrived, stayed gor a while in the distance, left Ukraine as a state refused to defend CRIMEANS WHO IS TO BLAME? April, 7 th 2014 Kiev sent tanks to suppress Donbass, cause people there didnt put up with the coup ( by the way, the coup was sponsored by the US , Nuland and McCain were in Kiev those days , supervising it. Shame to Obama!) May 2 nd , 2014 People were burnt alive in Odessa Official number -48 , much more in reality ) Those who tried to escape from the burning building were shot by the Nazi The next day your beloved Ukrainians called. the burnt people ,,shashlyk, - a meat dish cooked on the open fire I guess your support the idea of burning people alive,dont U.? May 9 th 2014 The police HQ in Mariupol was shelled by tanks cause policemen didnt back the coup Nazi Azov turned up in the city on that day June 2 nd 2014 Lughansk was bombed by the Ukrainian jets, civilians were. killed The Ukrainian authorities blamed the conditioners on the building Who is shameless? 8 years of Donbass shelling followed Why didnt U care about people in Donbass back then? Find out facts, not fakes I am from Crimea I witnessed the events Did U? That is the point
Remarkable determination of the elderly and what they say.
Sad. That whole thing is just sad😢
the usa could end it in one second. but there is no money for the politicians in peace. and zelensky is a pawn , not worth mentioning
@@tonyhunt9001 if you believe Zelensky to be pawn you've been listening to Russian lies or you are the vatnik pawn.
@@tonyhunt9001
US didn't start this war nor would US stopping aid to Ukraine end the war as Ukrainians would still fight as they don't want to live under Russian rule!
So the only one who could stop this in a minute is Putin as he is the whole reason why this war started!
Those are the heros of this war. Survivors. Very fortunate to have not perished.
What strong people! Determined folks with healthy constitutions and incredible will power. Readers, do you realize what a feat they accomplished? Hope they’ve found some degree of happiness and that they are treasured for their strength of character and love of country. Much respect!
Brave Ukrainians !❤ we support Ukraine !
Please keep on telling the world that the fight for freedom will never end until we are all free. Slava too the heroes and the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦
Who's free?

For those in the States the Ukrainian Trust Chain is a nonprofit that sends 100% of donated funds to help the Citizens of Ukraine.

They were the ones aiding the SS gestapo during WW2 😅😅😅
To live so long and to almost be shot, passport taken away and told to live in Russia. 😢
Brave people

Can you say this is the way all the people from that area think like those two!?
What are you talking about?They are not 25...... in their 70s and 80s.....!!🌻🌻🌻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍👍❤❤

The old lady is 98 ... She would have survived the Holodomor, Stalin s NKVD and Hitler..and Stalin and the Cold war kgb. If she was born in the Ukraine . 😢

So, grandma and grandpa were braver than every soldier on both sides. They're slowly without any armor and ammo, not duck down once, did cross the frontline.
Slava Ukraine!!! God’s be…
😢🙏
Take away: These folks have lived the majority of their lives under Moscovy oppression yet after tasting freedom they don't want to be surfs again.
Glory to Ukraine!
Moscovy delenda est.
So they're moving to where Austrian painter worshippers live?
@@diegoflores9237They went west, not east to the land of Wagnerites, etc. Try again troll. 🧌
@kristinmccall4665 yes, I know they move west. Where they proudly display the symbols of nhatzeess
@@diegoflores9237 how to say you know nothing about Ukraine without saying you know nothing about Ukraine:
@@NotFound-sm9rg I know they are proud nahtzes
Russia go home and fix your failing country..
What are you talking about? 🤣 According to data from the International Monetary Fund, Russia's GDP increased by almost 4 percent, while the GDP of all European countries decreased! It seems like Russia has learned well from the USA how to wage a war and profit from it.
@@3786373It's GDP is steady because of its expanding military economy if the war ends Russian economy will collapse
@@petefrys545 sure. Dream on. Russia will lose. If it helps you sleep well then why not...

💙💛Slava Ukraine💙💛
I thought Ukraine was winning
At least the Russians they aren't after civilians just imagine if it was Israel ...
Except that there are lots of people burried in Bucha, Marieupol and everywhere else in Ukraine who were civilians and to whom Russians came to...
You don't seem to know very much about the russian's behaviour against Ukrainian civilians : filtration camps, deportation of adults and especially of children, raping, torturing, murdering, shooting without any reason...
Do you know that already over 125.000 Russian war crimes are officially documented, the number of unknown, undocumented must be much higher, especially in the occupied territories, where people are forced to accept Russian citizenship against their will! Otherwise they might be imprisoned, even tortured, or they simply no longer receive medical treatment and necessary medication or are not longer allowed to drive a car!
Any expression of Ukrainian culture is forbidden there!
You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about! russia has butchered, tortured and murdered hundreds of Ukrainian civilians! Get your facts right before you comment instead of believing your russian propaganda! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Out of the frying pan into the fire, dementia must have set in.
Thousands went the other way
Forced deportation
Orcs returned to their swamp, ukrainians went to the West!
Both r very old and unable to stay alone all by themselves...so they went where their families were...
Ukro propaganda 👎 Shame on you for using those old people in your dirty game
Unlike Russia who puts up Potemkin Villages all the time...
West propaganda ehhehehehe
Too much Russian propaganda and brainwashing??? Ehehehehe!
Kremlin troll !
Russian never take passport 😮we are same❤😊 take care of u❤
Are you calling the old man a liar?
Total BS they're crooks
@@jimmyfortrue3741yes i am.
They can relocate to Berlin. Tbey soeak Russian but hate Russia? These are people crippled with retrigressive attitude due to age. Using them for cheap propaganda is shameful.
"propaganda" this what this comment is. and also a lie and ageism
"propaganda" this what this comment is
lie and ageism
they speak mainly Ukrainian with occasional russian words interspersed
anyway, orcs destroyed their lives, why should they love the occupiers regardless of their language?
This is just propaganda to me
You think they're actors or just the video itself?
It’s really sad that you are so willing to deny the very real experiences of the Ukrainian people. Maybe read up on what is happening there at the hands of russian soldiers and you will start to see why they fight so hard. Start with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, ICC, OHCHR, OSCE, etc.
@@kristinmccall4665I don't like wars but I hate those who make them happen and in this case is Ukraine when they were shelling Donbass citizens everyday
Radio free Europe is US government funded
@@cliffdenis144 they were shelling the russians + the locals who went to their side, the russians were firing on UA citizens even more plus they started it
soon to be mobilised by zelensky to fight..lol
when are you going to fight??? ..трус
di for your master ...or fight to be free Boris
@@senator1295 Free? They have no freedoms in Ukraine. The freedom of speech or worship and you will be sent to prison. You cannot condemn Zelenskyy and those beautiful Orthodox churches have been burned down and not by Russian’s.
If all you got out of this story is your snarky remark, why don't you go fight then.
@@bps7209Completely and utterly false. Try getting your info from someone other than the Kremlin. You literally have no idea what is happening there and who is doing what. Or maybe you do know, but support Russian fascism and genocide? Why is that?
