  1. It’s so nice to hear an honest assessment of the war. Slava Roman 🥰

  2. Damn, that’s rough Roman … Hang on man, this too shall pass!

  3. The best help we can give is by making sure Ukraine enters NATO. Ukrainians should feel safe and secure like the rest of us.

  4. I knew Roman had been injured, but not to this extent. God bless you and I truly hope you fully recover. Your reports from the battlefields were inspiring and informative. With men like you in Ukraine, the Russians should just turn around and leave. They can’t break your will to be free. Victory! 🇺🇦

  5. Heartbreaking… US soldiers don’t get nearly enough mental health care, I can’t imagine how much harder it is for former Soviet bloc countries. Praying for all of them.

  6. I like this, already looking to future and telling people what they may not want to hear, the truth.

    Stay safe Stay strong and return to your loved ones, alive

  7. Is he the same chap who was at the Kramatorsk restaurant when the Russians threw Iskander missiles at it last year?

  8. damn, poor lad. he always seemed so positive in his videos. i really hope UA will make a good program for veterans after they win the war and west will help with post-war recovery in this aspect as well.

  9. Tragic update on a warrior of a man. I hope he is able to get the long term healthcare and support he needs to recover from these physical and moral injuries.

  10. Unfortunately, most countries don’t know how to treat PTSD, and no country knows how to treat post concussion syndrome.

  11. We need to get some specialist care to Ukraine to help vets with such complications and more. I guess this hasn’t yet gotten much attention because there are more pressing matters, but I assume there’s know-how available in the West, perhaps even an opportunity to learn more about these conditions to find better care practices at the same time as providing the care current traumatised vets need.

  12. As a old codger and ex forces this breaks me, fuck 💩 tin, take your time my brave, brave lad, from my experience time doesn’t heal fully it just gets easier to live with. Slava ukraini

  13. That’s a sad fucking read/view into someone’s life. Someone’s life who’s should’ve had heartbreak or a shitty job as the worst part of it, not ptsd because some c*nt decided to invade their country.

  14. Is he the Guy that daily videoreported last year from bakhmut?
    Nonetheless – I wish Roman all the best with his recovery 💙💛

  15. Sending love and hopes for patience and self compassion. It’s a tough battle, and you are on the right track, I think. May you and yours be safe and well, Roman

  16. Maybe it would help if he asked his cousin if he wanted to go bowling?

    ^I’ll ^^see ^^^myself ^^^^out

  17. Bringing troops and pilots to Western countries to train is great, but they need to start sending doctors. Send a few for a 6 months residency at a VA hospital. After a 20.year GWOT we have volumes to share on the matter.

  18. I hope everyone here realizes this is our shared future.

    Ukraine has another beacon to light. This one.

    Right now, all the allies feel cocky because they know how to win. They should act swiftly, so we are distressed about the pace.

    But no nation has learned how to win *this* war yet. It the US, it is a half-unspoken part of a very real problem, a peacetime problem no less. Traumatic brain injury, with its emotional and downright psychiatric damage, is the final wound of modern war. This brave soul is in need. But we have yet to even start to know what to do!

    This is a beacon I truly wish Ukraine did not have to light. As we can see, ***the victim retreats into themselves to spare us.***

    ***TOP PRIORITY***

  19. Oh, man…. Let’s hope he and all the rest of them get the lifelong treatment they’ll need.
