ukrainian money for many years, a traitor. this is a traitor, betrayed by an anathema to the russian orthodox church. is is one of the terrible death died. one of the main symbols of ukrainian statehood, that is, betrayal as a super idea, well, he created a yellow elbowed nose. oh well, no, i understand that officially judas absolutely. i understand that we exist within the framework of our national myth there, but they initially created their national myth on traitors on murderers on those who killed the brothers there, those who fought with them in the same smear, then he was initially an ally of peter in that ally and friend, and then the end, respectively, as if that's the whole ukrainian statehood. there is the same bandera , the same shukhevych. they weren't underground. they were not banned not in the ninety-first, not in the ninety-fifth, not in 2003, it’s never another thing that he decided to assign the hero’s star the title of hero of ukraine to them only yushchenko, but they are heroes for ukrainian nationalists for ukrainian patriots have always been from the very beginning, that is, this

language they might speak, ukrainian, or russian, whatever their background, just repulsed by what they've seen. and you know, people, even the, the moscow patriarchy orthodox church. this was a religious organization, was always seen as the kind of backbone to pro russian support in grain coming out and telling ukrainians to fight. and basically, you know, calling on by the region to call this off, even more through patriarchy, that hierarchy grain is basically calling out the crime. and then in terms of russian ability to influence your grade, that really is at a low ebb, i think, going forward, you know, this, i think the grades think that they are able to impose a price on russia with this. and we're seeing huge numbers of russian soldiers dying and lots of hardware being destroyed. to w. connelly with the latest tonight from western ukraine is always nic. thank you. for one of the unique features of the situation we are all seeing is that this is an ongoing military conflict and taking place in a country that has a vast nuclear program. last week, russian forces captured the chernobyl nuclear power plant. and that's the side of the meltdown. back in 1986 radi

questions of the fate of the orthodox church in ukraine forced to recognize the official ukrainian toes, because now this is a fact, just as, in general, he proved today's post that goncharenko is a brazen bastard . when it was said that you were violating the rules of war by placing your weapons in residential areas in a straight line. it has been pointed out, now even by the americans who have your back. see, lord, with it. send like all these newspapers from the filing, all the same potters and so on. uh, they reported the death of a russian general. here is what they say. this this went through all the media this joke. yes, which one? well, when on the hunt leonidovich brezhnev with the huntsman go out ducks fly they fly throw in a gun shoots. they keep flying. the huntsman looks like this, says, a miracle the dead are flying. well, yes, well, in this sense, again, i remember everything. cnn dismantled the portrait, which means that the former head of the cia, petraeus, was standing, who was explaining how important this generator was, the children had not passed, but we would alr

st volodymyr�*s ukrainian 0rthodox cathedral was heavy with incense and the pain of war. the orthodox church for president putin, who insists that ukrainians and russians are one people in one country who should be in one russian church. jeremy explained how the russian advance wasn't going to it's expected plan. their expectation appears to be that they would have got in very quickly and, in the first couple of days, decapitated the government and that would be it, and they would put their own people in, and bob's your uncle. well, that didn't happen, because the ukrainians resisted, and they continue to do that, and they are trying to push the russians further away. it is hard for them to manoeuvre, hard for them to move their heavy armoured vehicles because it is getting a little bit warmer. what was frozen is not frozen. it's muddy. and i think, as a result of all that, they are facing a lot of logistical and military difficulties. however, even though, to the people here, it feels like this thing has already been going on for horrendous amounts of time, it is only the first month. the r
