  • A lot of Americans are saying "This is a good war because no Americans are dying". I've heard this many times here in the USA. It turns my stomach because NO, it is not "good" at all.
  • Please let God give these women strength. Such horror that Boris Johnson wrecked the peace agreement, so many lives would have been saved.
  • @RickBlaine
    BlackRock will buy their farms from them. For cents on the dollar!
  • These are the consequences of the absurdity of war. The suffering of these widows in Ukraine is the same as their Slavic widow sisters in Russia. I send my deep condolence to those brave widows and pray that this war ends as soon as possible.

    People don't know what war is until they experience it themselves. I can tell you from my own experience that mental problems arise only when the war is over. It took me five years to get at least a little bit back to normal.

    There is a saying, it is bad to be an enemy of America, but it is even worse to be a friend of America.

    When you elect a comedian as the president you only get grief.
  • @coppermouse30
    My heart goes out to all these corageous widows. This is heartbreaking.
  • Such a sad reality of war. I wish our war loving US politicians could see more stories like this and push for peace.
  • @les8518
    My heart and thoughts go out to these brave women and there children. This should not and didn't need to happen. I want to hug you all.
  • Les chiffres officiels des pertes ukrainiennes sont absolument faux - au moins dix fois plus!
  • This is so tragic and makes me feel sad for them.End this madness now , I’ve noticed a decline in people here who support this war (UK) , let’s hope it will be over soon .

    May the lord of all Jesus Christ have mercy on us all❤
  • Hard to watch this without making you feel so dam angry. They did it to Iraq, Yemen, the middle east as a whole. SO MUCH PAIN. I truly believe we are in the awakening period.

  • @Gopferteckel
    History repeating, these women are going through what their grandmothers and great grand mothers went through 80 years ago more or less.
  • True , the sorrowful fact is that those who are keep in the dark will never know the light.
  • @summerlake356
    My experience of Ukraine is that almost everyone, not in Western Ukraine, speaks Russian, if given a choice. Language in this video tells me all I need to know. I am sure some cynics in the EU look forward to picking up one of the countless desperate widows being created in Ukraine, when all this is over. It is a tragedy that could have been averted. If you know, you know.

    Governments always tell you that you are fighting for freedom when in fact you are not. Paul Valery, French Poet 1871 - 1945, summed up the situation quite eloquently in his poem: "War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other." This is the reason why we have war widows. The outcome is very, very sad. If you think about it too long it will bring a tear to your eyes.
