1. “Today, we are honoring soldiers with state awards and the title of Hero of Ukraine, who, together with all those who stood up to defend our country and Ukrainian life, determine the fate of Ukraine.Ukraine has already managed to stop Russia. Ukraine has learned how to defend its own in exactly the right way to win. And we have to go all the way through this process the way we need to in order to achieve our goals.
   Glory to Ukrainian soldiers!
   Glory to Ukraine!” stated the President.

2. its unsettling to see budanov that emotional

3. Those hugs and smiles from Zaluzhnyi looked pretty damn sincere.

4. Budanov is one of the coolest people alive. Long may it be so.

5. I would have liked a fight between Zaluzhnyi and Gerasimov.
   The winner gets all.

6. Fuck.. I’ve really grown to like the burly man of a bear, sad to see him go

7. Should have given him a dragon defender

8. No problem between those two.

9. Very much deserved

10. Budanov even made a full on 225° spin to celebrate

11. I feel that Zaluzhnyi is actually quite happy, and I sincerely feel that he even talked to Zelensky about it. It’s an unimaginable pressure; everyone deserves a break. He was undoubtedly a hero. I hope he soon returns in command of another force

12. I have a framed photo of General Kyrylo Budanov in my desk that I see every morning.

    Ukraine warriors have been an inspiration, for all those who fight for democracy.

    Slava Ukraine.

13. Does anyone else feel it’s not meant to be vindictive: it’s a General that sees Ukraine needs a major mobilization and a Present that sees Ukraine’s economy not collapsing is more important to continue the war so he can’t provide the desired percentage for mobilization?

    I imagine it was an ultimatum that Zelenskyy felt wasn’t in Ukraine’s best interests… Time will tell if he was correct.

14. NATO should hire this man as a top-level advisor and expert. He knows his job.

15. I hope Zalushnyi can take a good, well-deserved break. Whether he stays in the military, or chooses to go into politics, Ukraine is fortunate to have him on their side.

16. Clearly they hate eachother

    -Russian monkeys

17. It’s obvious that the President and the Big Man have a lot of respect for one another!

18. Those hugs are full of fucking brotherly love.

    And it’s a double tap to boot.

    Fucking media reporting this as change in leadership as bad can suck ass.

19. It’s a different decision, but it must be done. They both understand the pressure from the western world.

20. All Russian bots will be talking about ‘The Green line test’ coming days 😂😂
