    As a father myself...I'd be gutted. I experienced war...I don't want my son to ever experience it. I know this man is being strong...may God assuage your pain in moments of sadness.

    Not sure how this father was capable of being so calm talking about his sons death.
    Worst thing for any parent should be the death of their children, it’s a tragedy a young man’s life ended so short and in a war in this day and age.
    However it is an honor to die for your motherland and family / loved ones.
    Rather die like a hero then live like a coward.
    Definitely rather die a hero’s death rather then from some kind of a sickness.
    May God have mercy for fallen soldiers and give them rest and peace in eternity

    I feel the same...
    My father was Ukrainian...
    I have relatives that are in the midst of yhe savage war...
    I'm physically sick...
    If i didnt have fallout from the treatment of lymphoma...
    I would have been in Ukraine...
    Dieing would have been a privilege for me...at 72...should that have occured...
    Most have a definition of life:
    Mine is...
    Freedom, liberty peace...
