  1. God Speed Ukrainians!
    Wish the US government would get its thumb out its ass and help Ukraine. We have plenty of stuff to give.

  2. These men doing what needs to be done, with most of us home safe on our couches and chairs.

  3. That’s gotta be a very intense, thought provoking moment. Just hearing the silence from all of them, they know it’s a one way trip for some.

  5. An intense calm before the storm. Bleed the enemy dry.

    Bless the defenders, there is still another day to fight.

  6. Jesus I would probably be at the back throwing up with my nervous stomach. It makes you think just how good we have it and also wonder what’s going through the heads in those few moments alone with their thoughts. God speed brave men and women.
    🇺🇦onward to victory 🇺🇦

  7. No ones moving no one’s talking. Now it’s real. Maybe I won’t be the one that tells all my stories to loved ones maybe I’ll be another one in those large graves

  8. Probably shouldn’t be standing so close together if they are that close to adivka

  11. Saddest part is that when you put a Russian person and Ukrainian person side by side, you can’t even tell the difference between the two. Both look alike with Slavic features and are brainwashed to fight each other by their own governments (includes both sides East/west) for illicit ideology over power, control, and influence. Good men and probably from underprivileged families who are normally sent to die for this crap.

  12. Combat footage page is full of arrogant insensitive people. War is hell war is not right. Period

  13. This is so fucking sad man. Goddammit. Why do we have so many pieces of shit that oppose helping these brave warriors 😡

  15. Something odd about this one, old/basic helmets, not much equipment like ammo, grenades, RPGs, water, radios, sleeping bags etc. Not sure these guys are going to Avdiivka.

  18. Brave brave troops. All the best. Keep your head low and move fast.

    To what awaits

  19. May these defenders be protected.

    The amount of bravery it takes to walk towards the explosion is incredible.

  20. Damn that footage is insane. Looks like a shot from Band of Brothers.

  21. reminds me of that ending scene of Band of Brothers Episode 5, when the Easy company march towards Bastogne, with cold, low ammo, low morale, watching at the explosions at the horizon at night, but decided to go into battle.

  22. Reminds me of some scenes from All Quiet on the Western Front.

  23. This out of all combat footage for some reason has freaked me out more. Just silence before their ordered out

  24. Very chilling. That’s somewhere that used to be just a place they could drive to and visit but now it’s being held by a foreign army who seeks to steal their land. Imagine the mixture of emotions. Fear and anger.

  25. “That over there is the meat grinder, Better not be vegan. Get your breath,quick march from now on”

  26. Avdiivka is almost fully encircled by the Russians at this point who are now breaking through towards the city center. The Ukrainians in this area are suffering a shell shortage also, an ex company commander admitted the possibility of surrendering Avdiivka due to this. I know that this sub is super pro Ukraine and downvotes anything showing the Russians in a successful light, but ignoring reality doesn’t help anyone. These fellas are sadly in for a rough time, must be terrifying..

  30. It gives a sense of “All quiet on the western wall”.

  31. I’m not sure standing out in the open gawking that close to an active battle is the best idea.

  32. Out of all the videos this one hit me the hardest I think

  33. Imagine thinking about how you just want to be home with your family. Making lots of money/success is no longer a concern. Just being home and enjoying the time with your loved ones.

    But you can’t turn the other direction, you have to walk towards the thunder instead.

  35. At least they are fighting for something. Their country. What are the RU’s fighting and dying for? Putin?

  36. Its about the guy on the right and the guy on the left… GODSPEED Brothers. Keep up the good fight.

  37. Makes you appreciate thats the dread and anticipation soldiers have been experiencing since the beginning of military history before reaching the front: vicksburg, verdun stalingrad or hue … now Avdivka. Respect and safety to these men

  38. As much as I support the other side I feel horrible for them. A corrupt, puppet government to the west is sending them into the meat grinder. They will all be dead within a couple weeks sadly.

  39. Donate to United24, particularly the Defence portion.

    I do every time I get paid. If I pay even for a Ukrainian soldier’s food or some rounds that kill a Russian, then I’ll be happy.

  40. Absolute heroes.

    One day, when Ukraine wins, i’ll travel to Kyiv, kneel in front of the names of the fallen in order to honor those who fought for european security.

    These people have infinitely more courage than Ill ever have in my life.
