I have no words to express how much I admire this amazing and brave woman, I hope she's healthy and happy always xxx
Amazing and brave man as well.
@@72marshflower15 I pity you
@@janb3625 yeah no. This is a case of an extreme probability that it was a Ukraine mine as mines are only placed by controlling territories.
Also, for you to claim that Russia is the sole cause of this war is beyond disingenuous. It’s well documented that the US CIA has been turning half of Ukraine into the Reich Wing.
US has a demonstrable history of backing right wing extremists in other countries to overthrow them or their neighbors. 72+ “color revolutions” (US backed right wing coup de eta’a) around the world in the last 80 years.
Who do you think sponsored the nazis to begin with? Ukraine is no different. It’s the same social archetype at play today.
Bet it never occurred to you how nefarious the US is, eh?
Try being an American who knows better.
Ukraine is same sh!t. Different pile.

«Dear friend! Right now I work in Eastern Ukraine as a volunteer. I deliver humanitarian aid to refugees. I use my motorhomes and big Kamaz trucks to bring food, water, medical kits. Yesterday I delivered my goods to Mikhailovka, Lugansk region. My contact person was Father Parfeny. He had been giving shelter to 300 refugees. Yesterday I came and I was just 5 minutes late. He was killed by Ukrainian artillery. They aimed at the hospital but killed our Priest. The church was destroyed as well. Please distribute this information to all people who are not aware of the real truth. In this village there are no military troops only one hospital. For several days they have been shooting at the hospital which is situated next to the church. They use rocket systems Tornado, 12 missiles at once, Big rockets which are used now against civilians, against our Priest, against wounded people. They shoot from Severo-Donetsk. If you are interested I can organize your trip. It’s a real disaster what is happening here. As a social worker I ought to tell the truth which I face here. Unfortunately official media never publish such human stories.»

Dear Oksana,dear husband
You are a very brave, strong girl. When I watched this video and the moment when you danced in the hospital with your beloved husband, I almost cried... Even though I'm 43 years old. You can not break down, soon this hell of Putin will end and the sun will shine again over green Ukraine.I also experienced a shock in 2019 when I found out in the hospital that a problem with blood circulation in my left leg was detected and after a few days I found myself in the operating room where my leg was amputated above the knee. After 3 years since that nightmarish day, I still can't recover and come to terms with what happened to me... I know and feel that it will never be the same again, I have irretrievably lost a certain part of me, not only physical but also mental ... But life goes on and you must not collapse at the very beginning. Unfortunately, I do not have a partner or close family with whom I could spend time, laugh and cry or just be together...😢 But I am so glad and happy that You dear Oksana,you have a loving husband and a great man who will not leave you in need. Trust me, your husband loves you very much and will not abandon you...
I greet you cordially from Scotland where I currently live, unfortunately alone 🙁....
BUT I am still looking for the other half and I think that before I die I will find a nice girl and I will love her.
Take care my Ukrainian friends,
soon everything will be fine as before... 🙋🇵🇱🇺🇦🌹❤️💪💃🌻
Sorry my dear for long comment 🤔😐
Don’t worry about its length. What matters is that you had something important to say. Every well-wisher who comments is a reminder that there is still a lot of good in this world. Wishing you all the best. 🙏🏾
Pawel, your story is very touching. I wish you the very best. Dont give up your search for a nice girl, and dont settle for less just because you are feeling lonely. Until then, now that Covid is letting up, have you considered doing some volunteer work perhaps with seniors - just even visiting with them. Many of them may not have anyone and playing cards, or reading to them, or just talking is such a great thing. And I promise you - it would make you feel good. Again I wish you the very best. Slava Ukraini
I wish you also the best, may you find what you're looking for
Paweł stay strong. Never give up!
Role Models. So Strong! All the best to you.Your children can be so proud of you both!!!🙏🙏🙏
God bless both of you
All the best to them x
