Topic: Meet Some War Heroes of Ukraine (In progress) (Read 523 times)

I'm struggling to figure out how that would possibly qualify one as a 'hero'.  Much more likely it qualifies one as a chump who believed the fake new mainstream media and didn't take the time to understand politics.

The only slightly positive aspect of this thing is that the people who 'voted' for a coke-fiend Jewish actor are distinctly on the lose end of things.

The pain of losing a loved one is inestimable. I have read and seen heartbreaking stories and pictures of Ukrainians in great pains and agony due to this war. I would have also loved to research about Russian losses because families are also grieving in Russia but it is difficult to find. Many families might never recover from these great losses. It has been reported that almost all Ukrainian have lost a loved one in the course of Russian invasion. My heroes today are those that have lost anyone because of this avoidable war.

Displaced and Refugee Children of Ukraine: These children have suffered hunger, taste, sickness, cold and even death. Most of them have become orphans and some had to trek long distances to get to safety.

Yet in this pain and distress these children took out time to motivate and boast the morale of the Ukrainian armed forces through paintings. Their painting were sent to the Ukrainian armed forces in the front line.  Below are some of them:



Picture drawn by Amalia a Ukrainian girl and the words read: ‘Ukraine will always win.

On the subject of heroes, I'm impressed by the resilience of people who do this day after day under shelling and bombardment:

Not really worth mentioning until you brought it up, but 'pleasantries' was not really an applicable word here.  I happen to be a native English speaker though.  I made a statement of fact that I find the guy to be among the relatively few here who's stuff is worth reading to find out things I didn't know, see what someone who can and has studied certain things with some rigor is saying, and is able to make original inferences some of what seem likely to be valid.  Most people here are extremely predictable because the regurgitate the same standard mainstream party line which everyone is already familiar with.  And are utterly convince that what they heard is 'fact'.  You are a very good example of the phenomenon.  Mildly amusing initially, but it gets boring pretty quickly.

It is curious that you started the walk of fame with a fake. On February 28, the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted that all 82 defenders of Snake Island had surrendered. At the end of March, they were exchanged during one of the first prisoner exchanges to take place, and some of them were even solemnly presented with their well-deserved "posthumous" awards personally.

By the way, according to article 117 of the Geneva Convention "No one repatriated can be used in active military service".

You two, get a room!

Thanks, although I don't think this is the right topic for an exchange of pleasantries. Despite the abundance of fakes in propaganda messages (or maybe even thanks to them - because they affect the morale of soldiers), Ukraine deserves to have its own wall of fame in this story. I respect military prowess, even if it is the prowess of the enemy. If a soldier fights bravely and remains faithful to his oath even in the face of an obviously stronger enemy, this is worthy of a man, regardless of the outcome of the battle.

Although the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is far from over. But it is important we acknowledge some individuals or group of individuals that have shown uncommon courage and bravery. They are many but I have identified some of them and they are worth cerebrating.

1) The 13 Border Guides of Snake Island: These brave soldiers refused to surrender to the Russian Navy. They preferred to die as heroes than to surrender. When the Russian Navy onboard the the Moskva told these Ukrainian guides to surrender, their response was ' go f*** yourself'. The Moskva opened fire on them but they miraculously survived. After repelling the Russian military from taking the Island twice, they were captured. They have been identified as one the catalysts of the Ukrainian military gallantry.

2) The unnamed Ukrainian Woman: Standing just a meter from an armed Russian soldier she was filmed angrily shouting at the soldier. She called the soldiers occupants, enemies and fascists. She gave sunflowers seeds to the soldier and advised them to put them in their pockets so that the seed will grow when they die in Ukraine.

3) The Ukrainian Crowd: During the early days of the war,  some Ukrainian marched against the convoy of Russian troops and tanks. Some of them even threw themselves on the road attempting to bloc Russias from advancing.

4) Vitaly Skakun: Destruction of the Henichesky bridge was the only war to stop the Russian tank from advancing. Due to some logistics challenge and time limitations there was no means of detonating the mine remotely or automatically. Anyone that would detonate the mine manually would not have the time to leave the area alive. Vitaly successful destroyed the bridge, but died from the explosion.

5) Yelena Osipova: This 76-year old refused to bow to the intimidation of Kremlin not to protest the invasion of Ukraine. Yelena was on the streets of St. Petersburg protesting and she was arrested by Russian riot police.

6) Vitality Klitschko: Kremlin's major objective in Ukraine was to overthrow the government of Zelensky and install a pro-Russian president. For them to achieve this goal, Kyiv must fall. The task of defending Kyiv mainly fall on the shoulders Klitschko, best known as a boxing heavyweight champion. Refusing to leave Kyiv, he put his life at risk to defend Kyiv. Against all predictions of military experts his city withstood more than six weeks of Russian takeover causing the frustrated invaders to retreat in shame.

Do not bother, this guy is a Kremlin Troll. He has been posting fake and propaganda from "Putin's Ministry of Dark Humour and Fantasyland Tales". He just wants to make all the information seem doubtful.
