I'm watching this from Kyiv, sitting in a shelter during the airstrike alert and I'm laughing again for a few moments. Thank you!
Stay safe my friend
Sending you love and light!!!
LET'S FUCKIN GO, BOYS! HOLD THAT LINE! ✊️👊🤜🤛
Bless you!
Stay safe! Sending positive vibes.
During his inaugural address, Zelensky said in parliament: “I don’t want my photo in your offices. The president is not an icon, idol or portrait. Instead, put up a picture of your children and look at it every time you make a decision.”
putin just looks into the eye of Sauron
The US could really learn what real courage is from that guy.
That's incredible... that takes real character. People say all politicians are in it for the power and money, but he proves there are still great leaders out there.
I want to believe this is as you say, but after all the corruption, absolute horse shit from the US and my own government, the corona BS, church-pedo scandals, i don't trust my self any more.
This is what a leader looks like, not 🍊🤡
I am a Ukrainian soldier, and I mast say - thank you for your support, God bless America and Ukraine 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Slava Ukraini
Thank you for all you do! This is a fight of good and correct (Ukraine) verses evil and wrong (Russia); good will win. I am very impressed with the spirit, courage and resilience of all Ukrainians during this most challenging time. May God bless and keep each of you safe! Слава Україні!
Thank _you_ from Canada; you've embarrassed the second-largest military in the world in front of everybody. Hope you and your family are still okay.

From what I've heard from Moscow insiders, the fact that Zelenskyy has is becoming such an international hero is driving Putin crazy. And that pleases me to no end! :-)
Putain is such a petty man. 🙄
Especially given that the hero of what Vlad the weak Puto calls a Nazi regime is Jewish.
Anti-Semites surely aren't taking this well either.....
He is an international hero, I'm hoping he addresses my parliament one day 🇺🇦🇦🇺❤
Wonder if ole Putin caught his fav pet, DJT, praising President Zelinskiy?
Well, Putin most likely believed in his own lies that Zelenskyy is a puppet president of the US who will flee with his money in his luggage the moment he can. Plus, that's what Putin himself would do.
"Can I tow you back to Russia?" - world class trolling right there. World Class.
And the Russian soldiers giggling back at Ukrainian guy...meaning they could be FRIENDS if it wasn't for this tragic war😞😿
At least their trying to keep the humor 💖🇺🇸🦋🌹
Exactly, they were friends but Biden refused to sign a peace treaty that could have prevented all this.
@@hiseverest9074 What peace treaty dude? People saw this coming, they've asked Putin many times: "U going to invade mate?" and he lied that he wouldn't on every occasion. You probably also believe that this is all NATO's fault for their "aggression" towards Russia. We need critical thinking / anti-propaganda in our curriculum.
@@indie_keegan Buttery Mails! Put some sunflower seeds in your pockets and go do something useful.

President Zalensky saying "I need ammunition, not a ride" is the quote of the century!
Trump pushed his way through a crowd of world leaders to stand in front to puff out his turkey breasts
Zelensky definitely knows how to touch the American soul.
Honorable mentions should definitely go to German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, who stated on the policies that this war kicked loose: "I respect pacifism, but I hold it to be wrong".
(The man had suggested delivering weapons to Ukraine months ago and got roasted for it from the political Left)
That's gangsta!! 😂 Zelenky is a G!! 😂😂
the soldier saying: "Russian warship, go f*** yourself!" is it for me.
Zelenskyy: a comedian who became a President.
Putin: a President who became a joke.
Sad thing about Putin this is no joke
A very dark and sick joke.
Reminds me of our former joke of a leader trump, the leader of everything but courage
@Harrison Bergeron read the room, bot. Sorry its not in Russian for you
Yep, the " comedian" with a Law degree. Putin ex KGB, maybe not so much ex?

The people of Ukraine are incredible. They will forever be remembered and revered for this and no matter what, Putin will forever be known as a crazy, evil coward. Slava Ukraini.
Thank you for supporting my country.
Heroiam slava!
The people of Ukraine are normal people like anywhere else and they are suffering the consecuences of continuous agresions and murders of civilians from Ukrainians armed forces in Donbass... All well informed people know what was going on in Ukraine since 2014 and were starting to think that Putin was a coward for abandoning the donbass civilians since Ukrainians politics never respected the Minsk agreement.
On the other hand, be sure that many Us american leaders will forever be known as "crazy and dangerous evil cowards" creating or supporting wars for their own economic interests... (How did zelensky got there with the Euromaidán ? who "helped" ?
Another exemple: ¿ are we still looking for massive destruction weapons in Irak ?... NO ! we sadly all understood what has happened then.
We will never forget all the US intents to manipulates the world opinions and destabilize continously nations all around the world to get benefits out of it.. we all know enough that the real threat to peace in the world, has been so many time the geopolitical and economics intersts and plans of the US.
NOT talking about American people, ok !!!...AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE JUST AS INOCENTS AS MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. the whole world have seen how it is possible in the US to order firemens to "let" the WTC 7 falling down the way it did !!!
Now look inside your own country and let Putin to try restore peace for civilians in Ukraine the best way they let him do... please ! Take care of your country and let the rest of the world live in peace.
@@yanudol You are on the side of evil and protect the terrorists.

US and Ukraine brothers forever!
I love that the dude asks his friend if he should say fuck you … it’s so human but also shows their courage and defiance in the face of such a moment
Another detail was that line “Just in case,” which was from a soldier who turned up the volume to max, just to make absolutely sure the Russians heard them.
@@catc8927 🤣 Gotta love these folks. Balls of steel. I think it was actually a woman who said just in case. Heroes everywhere.
How do you say ‘fuck you’ in Russian?
@@catc8927 I kind of want to cry knowing the possible outcome they faced for doing that but my respect for them… their dignity and honor also makes me smile
It's a little more colorful than the time the Americans at Bastogne said "Nuts."

You know shit's fucked up when Switzerland picks a side...and it ain't yours.
@@asmith8692 Do you know how Switzerland and Sweden stopped being “neutral”? They dropped a load of weight from one side of the scales, and sent it to Ukraine in munitions crates.
@@asmith8692 Absolutely. Switzerland sat out WW I and WWII, but this one is too much.
@Harrison Bergeron I'm guessing you know about being on a leader's payroll

I am crying and my heart is breaking for the Ukrainians. Such determination. Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine is much bigger than just Kyiv. So many towns/cities/villages in Ukraine bravely resist the invasion - both the military and the civilians. Having said this, thank you for your support. I hope it's shown in action too.

been watching over & over again, this video never gets old.. love the way Stephen take on a positive side of the bravery of the Ukrainians..
Glory to Ukraine & the people..
The Ruble is worth about as much as a Trump University degree right now. Well done, Vlad. You've done more to weaken Russia than NATO ever could.
I'd imagine he's going to get deposed soon, given food and water, basic necessities are now so expensive. Not to mention his rich backers are now flat broke.
@@atiredfloridian777 I hope so. If the military turns against you, you are screwed. But I don’t think Russian soldiers would defy their leader sadly, unless they are.
@@atiredfloridian777 not yet...but Oligarchs are working on plan
@@atiredfloridian777 Seeing as the length of the tables he meets his aides at keeps getting longer, I think he's already worried they have a novichok tipped umbrella with his name on it.
@@NewMessage one must wonder.
People talk a lot about how zelensky stayed to help his people, BUT note how few are also saying that not only did zelensky stay. But congress stayed and opposition leaders stayed. Almost all members of their government from local to national stayed with their people. That’s serving the people. That’s country before party. That’s what being a public servant is. Inspiring the public.
TAKE NOTE CHEETOE AND THE GOP.....THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE!!!!;;
The US doesn't have shit on Ukraine. Our leaders are just a bunch of sniveling bickering self serving toddler. Ukraine is putting our leaders to shame with example of what it means to be a good leader and to stand by your people.
So true. I've seen an interview with a member of opposition in Ukraine parliament. In Kiev. Supporting country.
Earlier I saw an interview with some young guy, young politician. Casually saying he's going home to eat and get some sleep because tomorrow morning he grabs AK and goes fighting.
I mean seriously. How on earth Putin thinks he can win this war :D
Regular civilians are chasing away Russian armored columns, people in cities are marching in protest, shouting "you know what". And all this unarmed :)
Sad there will be much more casualties on Ukrainian side, but eventually they will prevail and Putin will hang.
I knew a lot had stayed but wasn't aware it was so many of their leaders.
Thanks for telling me that.
Hard to justify leaving when the president with overwhelming support is refusing direct offers of evacuation.
...over all this time Zelensky has been in the public eye, he has proven to be an excellent example of what a leader should be to his country...I can only wish that some day America will have such a leader...
Something tells me that if everyone had leaders like him, we'd have conquered the solar system xD
I am moved to tears by the courage and steadfastness of the Ukraine and the Ukrainian people! 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦
Me too
I love the woman who told Russian soldiers to put sunflower seeds in their pockets so they can grow flowers after they're buried. Brilliant!
Yesss sameee!!!😫 I’m so proud of Ukraine❤️🇺🇦
Yessss! She is sooo badass! I have nothing but MAD respect for Ukrainians! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 May God bless and guide you through this war and come out victorious! ❤️
And what a gent he was.. Imagine an Israeli soldier
Made even better by the fact that sunflowers are the national flower
Yes same was attempted by brave women and children of Afghanistan and Iraq they were blown to pieces by US soldiers..hypocrites
"Can I tow you back to Russia?" is a pretty badass thing to say to a tank.
Oh he did toy the tank... It's on trevors noah show.. Check it out
Even the Russians were laughing after he said that.
GLORY OF UKRAINE !!
Love Ukraine and their courage!
My son in law is Ukrainian and now I know where he gets his courage from. When things get tough, leaders with courage don't run to the White house bunker. They fight evil to the death. Long live Ukraine.
Where's all of this concern for the people of Yemen? They're facing a famine due to a Saudi-led war against them that's been going on for years, and could be swiftly brought to an end if the US would just cut off support/logistical aid!

Six months in, I hope Stephen can find more room in his comedy to continue to support Ukraine and its people's strength and defiance. God forbid we should have to think of it in the comfortable western world -- but this is what defending democracy looks like, when tested. Lest we forget. Let us not.

Putin never imagined that this would create a LEGEND out of Volodymyr Zelensky
"When you attack us, you will see our faces, not our backs." ~Volodymyr Zelensky
Zelensky is only a legend in the minds of the western people so easily fooled because they don't know anything about him or this conflict beyond the headlines. In the minds twisted by this monstrous mass media onslaught. He's a movie of the week for you. Giving his pretentious speeches written by the US professionals targeting the western public. Instead of actually doing something to stop the bloodshed. He's a joke and a puppet.

The Ukrainian people are showing us all how incredibly brave they are; it's amazing to witness. But I would also acknowledge the Palestinian people who have fought oppression and occupation for decades and continue to do so on a daily basis. They too are defending their homes, families, children, and land.
Russia has the moral high ground. As with WWII -- when the Yankees, Brits and French sat out
the war in London delaying opening a western front so Hitler could murder more Russians --
27 million -- Russia and the Red Army defeated the Nazi's. While the US was spiriting Nazi's
out of Europe even before the concentration camps of Jewish people destined for extermination
ware liberated. So we've been down this road before and as before Russia will prevail. Maybe this
time the new Nazi's, the Americans with their WMD bioweapon ArcCov2, will be tried for crimes
of state against humanity, as well. For the literally millions murdered in more than 80 interventions since WWII, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice, Libyan state destroyed, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, not to mention nearly every state in Latin America at one time or another, ad nauseam. The past belongs to the US and her vassal hegemony domination of the world; but the future is being created by Putin and Xi Ping, no less than Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes created the modern world in two generation in the 15th century. Stephen Colbert would have been a very
poor jester in a court. ..
And today, almost a year later, Ukraine is winning. Good is winning. Slava Ukraini.
I loved that Colbert showed the video of Zelensky dancing. Because here's the thing: he was a comedian, he's great at "girly" dancing, he's nice and mild-mannered. According to the toxic masculinity rules the likes of Putin and his ilk in just about every country ever adhere to, Zelensky shouldn't be considered "a real man". And yet he's proven that he can be all these things they hate (but which paint him a good guy) and *still* be more "man" than *they* will ever be according to their own rules. Talk about being a BAMF and beating them at their own game! Obviously Putin is furious. *400* *mercenaries*?! To kill one man?!
Imagine, having a president who is actually connected to the people and stands with them to fight an invasion
unlike Texas Ted Cruz who runs scared of a winter storm

While others fight for their “freedom” against needles, a real hero is fighting for freedom and democracy and showing the world what a true leader is.
Dee Snider of Twisted Sister was asked why he approved the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the people of Ukraine and not anti-vaxxers.
He said "Because one is a just fight against oppression, the other is infantile foot-stomping over an inconvenience."

Apparently a brewery in Lviv have switched from making beer to making Molotov cocktails - all labelled with "Putin is a dickhead" - the Ukrainian sense of humour has blown me away as much as their bravery.

7:01, I am Ukrainian and I can confirm that this is our national anthem ✊🏻
LOVE! Stay strong!
God please be with all the brave and courageous people of Ukraine. We are rooting hard for you.
Shouldn’t god be w the Russians as well?
Maybe slow down aids in Africa, cancer in the states... perhaps quit begging for worshipers n get rid of the devil.
Give us weapons, we know what to do with them. Thank you for your help, our cooperation will lead to the end of the last war in Europe. Respect from Lviv.
💙Galicia.💛 Ukraine.🇺🇦
I’m currently in contact with a 25yr old single mother who’s hiding in a basement in Kharkiv. I’ve been trying to keep her updated, and I just wanted to say…
Thank you Stephen for doing such a great, inspirational piece. I wanted you to know at least one person who really needs this inspiration is going to get it.
Edit: If anyone wanted to know, she got out of Kharkiv but is still stuck in the area. They are going to try to get to the Poland border as soon as possible.
I was in tears of admiration throughout this one. Go, Ukraine 🇺🇦 And the president can really dance.
I'm 71 years old so you can guess how many late night monologues I've seen. This was the best monologue I've ever witnessed on late night. Absolute perfect balance of compassion and humor all while telling it like it is. Bravo
I agree 100% - well said!
Absolutely agree.
Hey Hilo, there is no humor in death of innocents, only shame that people think that they can, best regards p.s. I'm 72 and seen probably too much.
@@giovanni5063 I agree! I really have no use for Stephen. Just sad❣
I am 65 and seen meny things in my life like this
I just came across this clip 14 months after the invasion. Is is so encouraging to be reminded of those heroic moments and how the world was astounded by Ukrainian response to doom - especially now, when the world might be tiring of the battle and turning their attention elsewhere.
I'm fangirling so hard for Zelensky. Sense of humor, good dancer, good looking, and badass. What more could a gal want?
I'm a little disappointed they didn't mention that Ukraine's actual national anthem is also metal af. The title translates to "Ukraine is Not Yet Lost" or "Ukraine has Not Yet Perished", it begins with "Ukraine is not yet dead" and includes lines such as "our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine" and "we’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom".
An interesting fact, the Polish anthem also begins with : Poland is not yet lost. At first, I thought you were wrong. wow i didn't know these anthems had similar lyrics.
Brutal
@@everoarke3078 Poland and Ukraine are brothers.
That's what worries me. Poland is as immortal as Wolverine.
Putin knows Ukranians will kill his soldiers forever, like the Taliban but not wife beaters.
So he's gonna "Denazify" them in his "Denazification Camps" with "Denazification gas."
Just wait and see. Can't have a popular revolt without people.
@@JoshSweetvale mmm... perogies
Those soldiers of Snake Island are heroes, regardless of what Russian media calls them.
Russians lie, russian media lies
Miss you Colbert
Stephen's best monologue to date. Glory to Ukraine. Long live your beautiful and independent country!
"i need ammunition, not a ride"
this is one of those lines that's going down in history books.
Molotov cocktails and good Ol' fashioned Ukrainian spirit...those people won't let some wanna be dictator take what's theirs!
Let them use Russian vodka!!
Be brave like us🇺🇦
Mad respect to Zelenskyy, he's doing more than the president of US or the Prime Minister of the UK would do if this was happening to their countries
The best one was the old Ukrainian lady passing out sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers saying "put this in your pockets so pretty flowers will grow from your rotting corpse"
Especially awesome since sunflowers are Ukraine’s national flower.
she didn't pass the sunflower seeds to them. She told them to put some sunflower seeds into their pockets, so sunflowers can grow when they fall dead.
@@intersanctum
A pedantic trivial point, but ok.
This is how you save a democracy. Well done Ukraine. You have the respect of the world.
And respect to Palestinian and Yemeni resistance fighters too! Why does right wing liberal Colbert never talk about them like this???
The President of Ukraine was installed after a coup. The way Democracy is won by the West not by voters but by installing a puppet. LOL
Save a democracy installed through a coup.
@@vangcruz4442 they had Russian puppets stealing their money; are you seriously suggesting they ought to have left them in place?
@@adamwhite2364 you mean the pipe line that goes through Ukraine that Ukraine demanded more and more fees?
Thank you for showing our bright side 😊 during this genocide against Ukrainians!
Ukraine is giving some real lessons to all those people who leaving their country without a fight, going away and loseing their identity ! Fight for what you love, for your hometown and your birthpalce. Don't leave it to others to abuse it.
Syrians did the same thing but where labeled a terrorists for defending there country! Why double standards? Its disgusting!
@@atillatuncay2162 really? I thought they went around blowing themselves in public places killing civilians, yet Europe still welcomed many, some ending up in UK where only a few months ago one of them blew himself up in the very NGO that welcomed him, again killing dozens of volunteers. But ok I may have a different idea of what fight for the country means.
Love this show, it is hard to laugh at the moment while staying in Ukraine. Snake Island is near my home city Odesa - the city of humor. I am glad our soldiers are brave and ironic. Thank you Stephen Colbert for your support.
🇺🇦✊✊✊
Keep your family safe please.
I laughed way too hard at the driver who trolled the stalled tank by offering to tow them back to Russia. Then felt bad because the situation really isn't funny at all.
Stay strong!
My parents are helping your neighbors who are crossing the Danube to Romania. I overheard them talking today about housing some refugees. Wish u all the best!
@@sandpiperr here is another one ruclips.net/user/shortsgTpBEjgs8og?feature=share the guy from the village stole Russian military vehicle
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Slava Ukraini!!
Glory to neo-Nazi sympathizers!!!
@@elchapojunior3091 Russia is nazi!
@@professorpancakes6545 Where did I mention Russia?
@@elchapojunior3091 propaganda baby shhhh it's okay dear don't worry about it
We have freedom. Give us weapons. And thank you for your support. Glory to Ukraine!
Thank you from Ukraine
Fun fact: Zelenskyy also played the President of Ukraine in the tv show, Servant of the People.
Definitely a change of roles. But nothing too it of his wheelhouse XD
@@LaplaceStevensNameless Which suggests they understood the job description before they got hired. We probably should've seen this coming.
He spent most of his comedy career being a parodist with political sets. He’s always been in the game.
He really knows Ukraine politics better than all the ministers themselves.
Yes, I'm recommending to watch it! That's why he got popular and won the preidentcy!
He says "fuck Putin "
Europe's Leader of the year: President Zelensky-- Impassioned the world to fight for democracy.
Disagree on this .he isn't Europe's leader of the year.Hes THE leader of the year
We must subscribe to a lot of the same people! I see you everywhere! Great minds think alike! :)
And one of the first things he had to do was talk to Trumpdump and stay steady. Good man.
While blacks and africans are being denied badic assistance. They are no heroes. Please look it up and raise your voices.
@@SuperHarare ever heard of "the burden of proof is on the accuser"? Why don't you show us your proof instead of telling us to look it up?
Thank you for covering this! I've supported Ukraine for years. They are the warmest people who just want to build their Democracy. They are so incredibly brave! Truly! God bless Ukraine!💪🇺🇦💪
Love u show especially about Zelensky & Ukraine. Watched u be4 but rewatching again, never bored. Thx u 4 showing the truth & for supporting Ukraine.
I'm American and I can say that I feel so patriotic to Ukraine. Glory to heroes! Glory to Ukraine!
We Ukrainians just have so much humour in how we deal with things. So proud of us ❤️
I am convinced this is why Ukrainians earlier weren't that worried about Russia invading to begin with, they were already prepared to give them a hard time XD
I love that they changed the signs to say go fuck yourself. That's freaking epic. This girl in Ohio USA is rooting for you!
Stay strong and South Africa 🇿🇦 is with you
Much love from the US! Stay safe, and give 'em heck!
The whole world is proud of you too, never forget that. Much love from all of New York 💜
I love my country ❤️ 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 thank you for making us laugh, Stephen!
Watching this 6 months later..... wow....
like we were EVER going to lose.... LOL
Glory to Ukraine
