Thousands of American Volunteers To Fight Alongside Ukrainians
Wow
Bunch of Rubes. If you knew what this war was actually about.
Good on them,they have truly brave.And not recruited by America.
They’re mugs wasting time and money
When are people going to start using nukes to get things done?💯 Operation time is now. Let’s go people (Chop, Chop) hurry up.💯
I want to go, I was in the military once, I’d do it again.
Is Kyle Rittenhouse joining the volunteers?
based, they’re killing off Biden’s voters. No one cries over a dead Redditor or TikTok Star. Double points if they’re LGBT.
Trump voters are scared for a needle, so I doubt they’d fight in Ukraine
@where by street At least if trump was president we wouldn’t be letting a superpower invade a tiny nation…
@Jeffrey Morris
Trump might have addressed Putin’s security concerns over nato, instead of provoking Russia.
I submitted my application Saturday to the Ukraine Embassy 🇺🇦
Spent $2200 on gear and provisions getting ready for approval so I can leave immediately!!
Doesn’t it worry you that’s there’s zero youtube videos from any volunteers actually there? It’s all a publicity con
That is amazing. Thankful for these patriots
If I were healthy and a younger man, I would be there right now!
The fact that people who don’t have anything to do with Ukraine are volunteering to help them is honestly amazing. I wish I was this brave.
Called mercenaries…
We don’t have much as far as funds but what can be donated?
my deepest respect for this gentleman and all the volunteers. They are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to do the right thing. They are not playing any games, any politics, any spinning stories, buy just a sense of duty, honor, and service. If only many of our current lawmakers have just a fraction of the moral compass of these people.
This whole volunteer thing is a spinning story.
Show me a video of any actually in Ukrainian war area,,,
This not good wait til Putin hear bout this
Kudos to volunteers from USA, Nigeria, Israel, Japan, Britian, the list goes on….We love you and send so many blessings. We are proud of you all.
Maybe china will send some to help Russia…
Carpenter bro is a True Soulja
Crazy
Bravo!!! I’m so proud of these Americans! We know the truth. We are aware that our so-called President is a disaster and is destroying our country. Let’s all REMEMBER THIS, do not forget, come the next election 🇺🇸
They’ll be in prison in Russia! 😃 no vote for them
To all the freedom fighters in Ukraine 👏👏👏✊💪🗽🗽🗽
Putin can not be allowed to take over the world . Hitler tried and now Putin.
He is crazy
Human stupidity never ends…
Volunteers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 or nato groomed terrorist…fighting for axis of evil counties… These propganda houses working overtime for their political masters should use the correct words lol..
Pray for Ukraine guys
Pray that Putin gets his soldiers out of there I feel bad for them they got forced to go there
What Putin ordered to happen there is horrific
I hate him I wish bad things come to him and I hope he stops this chaos
Go back to playing your video games,,,,
Everyone around the world needs to protest
We need this chaos to stop!
They can try but….
Only stupid people fighting for the dumb Corrupt President Zelensky.
If they don’t speak/read Ukrainian or Russian they are going to be more a liability than help.
They’re just for show, a few will make it to the quiet part if Ukraine and sit around wastng money
Thank you. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Take no prisoner, BEHEAD THEM!
Mercenaries aren’t covered by Geneva convention
Sign me up
We are standing together I believe this is what the good Lord wants from us,to love and help our fellow man,and so many of us from different nations our coming together to help anyway they can,bless them lord and please protect and gift the people of Ukraine strength and love and comfort,and the ones that will help them in this horrible battle,amen.
Yelp….but who’s gonna AID US when it’s our turn?!!!!?
“Volunteers” 🤔
I don’t know dude but those Russians are some tough guys. I saw interview with one. He said he single handedly killed 16 Czechoslovakians and he’s an interior decorator!
🤣🤣🤣 This guy. SO New Jersey!
Stupid. China are getting ready too. Lol
These people are just for show. They won’t even go. Or if they do they’ll return quickly
Yeah, zero videos I can see of any actually in the war zone.
You’re both sad
Regular people going in to help because our leaders are to scared
People all over the world have had enough this is why thousands are joining this war from England America Japan and other countries.putin this will be the end of you and your pathetic government long live the Ukraine and the poor Russian soldiers who where told it’s only training.
You nailed it.
Yeah go on America go and make it more of a mess.
Ummmm you might wanna save yourselves for when America needs you. Just a thought.
Like the Mexican border!
Where are the politicians at?
Aren’t they the ones always talking. Thinking talk and can solve everything.
God, bless the volunteers.
How brave these people are!
Where are all the young able bodied Americans. Looks like GenX as always the only gen with balls what happened to Y, Z millenial, no guts?
You’re delusional
Let em die
Putin has initiated a full scale Holocaust against the wonderful Ukrainian people. We must all oppose him in whatever way we can.
Since when unregistered foreign fighters became volunteers?
Where’s the form to sign up to help the Russians?
You’re a bot
Not sure about why this is being promoted. Just that it is. Thinking the pandemic affected a number of volunteers mental health.
Well just add fuel to the oil instead of sending American “volunteers”. Your “volunteering” should be in America. Nato didn t have anything to do in Ukraine. You think you are going to win Russia from ukraine by killing more people. America didnt have anything to do in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why didnt you say anything then? Where was your humanity then? Did you think other third world nations deserved to die? cause they dont share the same value? . Why arent you volunteering in Palestine? Saving the kids and freeing people from ghaza which is surrounded by occupied territories and people arent allowed by the terrorist entity to move freely and get their basic rights. All you did is bring chaos to nations and leave it completely destroyed without any accountability. Hypocrites thats all what you are.
Thank u americans
God bless you, sir. May Ukraine appreciate your service. May the world appreciate the fight—loss of limb and life—for freedom, liberty, justice and peace! ✝️ 🇺🇸
This goes to show many can not just sit back and watch thousands of helpless people get killed everyday. I am in awe of this admirable act of compassion ❤️❤️❤️
I think that America should send all of the insurrectionists who stormed our capitol and tried to overthrow our democracy, since they like to fight so much. Start with the leader himself Donald J Trump and his unpleasant looking criminal children.
“I’m not married and i have no kids”=I’m lost and i want to feel like I’m apart of something.
Idgaf about those racist. They did black folks dirty, especially the women and children.
Bless you. Xx
????hero??? Dont be stupid people the only person that can stop these war is the president of 🇺🇦
Hero’s!!
to bad Biden ain’t the same!!
Our lives do not have much meaning any more. We need to show others that there are still those that have hearts and are willing to help others, even if we do not know them. Our pure instinct to survival as a human being is humanity, without it our species will die. With these people offering there love and help, I hope that others learn from them, that they understand there is no I in team. Survival depends on working together as one, to help one another in times of need, I make that brave decision to go and help another even if your life is at risk. Too many people have this idea that it is each man for themselves, that selfish mentality is more and more continue to think that way will be the end of the world as we know it
Good luck, Redditors! Lmao
Delusional, this is what you are also supporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy910FG46C4
Much credit to everybody volunteering, I will say I certainly would agree with the father of two young children if he decided to stay here.. 🤞🙏✌️
Thank you
Im sur that those fighters are now watching netflix and the danky are gone to die for free in Ukraine…
That war is lost more or less, the latest news is that Syrian troops experienced in urban combat are pouring in on Russias side, along with Chechens and Belarusian Spetsnaz special forces.
How do you sign up to fight for another country but not your own??
We should be in their number.
Ukraine is a nationalistic and military country, it kills it Russian speaking civilians for 8 years now. Many thousand s are killed . But West doesn’t know about it because of propaganda in mass media and manipulation of information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58V73HY61FU
Why is i.t that Ukraine’s own citizens went to their military and volunteered but their own military told them to go home and wouldn’t let them fight.
Dummies 😂
Remember
Biden has reminded
Don’t engage the Russians
Don’t get involved America. Mind your own business
Okay so stick the us into a problem that is not ours even more it’s just a bunch of board idiots
Imagine dying so one dictator doesn’t replace another dictator.
This has been the most heroic brave courageous group of people trying to stand tall for their country. The most respect and admiration for all of the volunteers. May our God shield and protect you. My thoughts and 🙏✝️ prayers are with you all. ✝️🙏
I don’t have equipment just two hand guns please let me get in on this, ready to go
If you got shot, Estrella gonna dump yoy
I suspect once the Russians have fully encircled the larger Ukrainian cities, a “Berlin Airlift” style of resupply will need to be done, with a host of heavy air transports escorted by squadrons of fighter planes. Before each mission, the Russians will be informed of what is happening. And if the Russians choose to attack them, they will be greatly enlarging the conflict…
Ukrainians need to be sent lots and lots of drones that fire anti armor missiles! This will allow them to fight back against the heavy artillery outside of their cities, which are killing men, women and children, with the constant barrages.
Now I really feel sorry for the russians,wait til they have to deal with the gun loving psychopaths of this country.
Desperate MADMAN Putin on the lose a big bully loser 😠 willing to use Nuclear options n Xi China leave Taiwan alone don’t be another obsessive lunatic
May God protect Ukraine and volunteers soldiers. Peace no war. Godbless who fight for freedom
God Bless and Protect you all. I’ll marry Andrew!
we will be fighting Russia here in our streets if Ukraine falls — God bless those freedom fighters volunteering to go to Ukraine ! its for our lives here to!
Enter now please and advanced rip
Jersey badass! Bada Bing! Ukrainian defender!
Freedom fighters are the most dangerous fighters.wjat better thing to fight for.
😅😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣. This is all staged
Pictured they are using are from movies
Americans should stay away that’s what the UN is for study history America baby country
Fools , boy scouts , idiots ——- it is all fun and games , excitement , an adrenaline rush , until the motar lands taking off your right leg and you have to spend the next 30 years in a wheel chair.
Glory to the heroes of Ukraine AND the USA!!!
Hope Russia takes ukraine
I’ll fight but I want a full pardon
No just two misdemeanors will be removed
we are America. where do I sign up?
🇱🇹 ❤️ 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
The other war just before ww2 in which volunteers took part was the Spanish civil war . Ernest Hemingway and I’m not sure if Errol Flynn also took part . Hitler sent troops for live fire training.
Nepolian of France, Nazi German under Hitler invaded Russia. NOW WESTERN ALLIES WITH USA INVADES RUSSIA using UKRAINE.
EU AND USA will destroyed.
Asia with CHINA, INDIA are waiting to Raise their flag of SUPER POWER OF THE WORLD. NOW ASIA WILL BE THE CENTRE OF ALL ECONOMICAL AND POLITICAL CENTRE.
I WANT TO KISS BIDEN AND BORISH.
If Russia stop gas ond oil to Western alies, EU can’t complete with JAPAN, South Korea, China and USA.
Biden is boasting in Congress that what Trump didn’t do, I have done with my slave allies to destroy EU economy. Ha ha. You can’t destroy Russia. RUSSIA has 6.8 billion people of the world to support HER.
FOR defense, She alone can fight all of you and provide security umbrella on her allies. Long live Russia.
EU has already invited WAR in EU. ZELENSKYY IS POKING NATO AND USA IN WAR WITH RUSSIA.
BORIS AND BIDEN WANTED PROXY WAR WITH RUSSIA USING UKRAINE TO DESTROY EU ECONOMY.
NOW BIDEN INVITES WAR IN AMERICA TOO.
I WANT TO KISS BORIS AND BIDEN.
WHAT A LEADERS!!!!
TRUMP STARTED TRADE WAR.
BIDEN STARTED WW3.
I AM AN OLD PERSON, I CAN’T AFFORD THE PRICE RISE.
