The old ladies are actually really nice, a meekness that we forget Russians can have because they’re overshadowed by a lot of brain wash and political censorship
Respect to the Ukrainian soldier for being a gentleman. It sends a very positive message about Ukraine’s conduct in Kursk.
While I love the civilized exchange I have very mixed feelings about stuff like these being shared online. It shows that not all Russians are degenerates. But I fear for those women’s safety in case Ukraine has to retreat. Saying glory to Ukraine and smiling at Ukrainian soldiers might be a death sentence for them or worse.
Sad they’re gonna have to walk though.
They’re so used to Moscow’s bullshit, they’re not even surprised.
Ukrainian soldiers stumbling across two Russian deserters feels like the plot twist no one saw coming. It’s like a real-life episode of “Survivor” where alliances keep changing, and you never know who’s going to flip next.
❤️❤️😭💙💛
Imperialism and its consequences
These kind of babushkas don’t have the time to concern themselves with politics, they are just trying to get home. Ukraine or Russia, doesnt matter, theyre just tired of walking.
For the context for our non-Ukrainian redditors, the grandma actually speaks a mix of Ukrainian and russian, with a larger % of Ukrainian. It’s not like our soldiers are just rolling around and asking everyone “Do you speak Ukrainian?” English translation could be more precise, I guess.
And we all know how this would have turned out if it was the other way around 🙁
Doughty old ladies. You have to admire their resilience.
As a person that was in ruszia, i can only say that you see how they are as society in the way they treat their weakest. Old people, kids and the ill. When i see this, i can believe that they will be happy that the Ukrainian troops are there. That was their first nice interaction with young men for a long time, i bet.
Wouldn’t trust em with a barge pole !! Remember the film scarface where Tony goes in the apartment to do the deal and there is a oldish lady laying on the bed !!
Kursk is Ukraine!!!
Ya put the old lady on your lap for as far as you can take her. Its a war out there.
Babushka couldn’t give a fuck about Putins deaththreats and just answered the Slava Ukraini xD
