  • I lived in Ukraine for 7 years and I’m from Nigeria. These people are good and kind. I wish them success and peace.

    I convinced my family to accept 5 Ukrainian refugees, here in my hometown in Poland, and despite the war, we had a great time. Cooking together, my mother remembered russian from her old days, a young son of 6 years old of her, was going to a football matches with my brother. After some time, 2 girls (20+ age) just moved to another part of Poland to start a life, while this family of 3, moved to Western Ukraine where it's safe. Truly good people, really humble.
  • That coin symbolizes the pain, sorrow, and the hell that Ukrainians went through under Russia. That coin was a product of sweat, tears, and blood of many brave Ukrainian soldiers sacrificing for the sovereignty of their country and the freedom of their children. We need to support Ukraine before the war knocks on our soil and individual doors.

    When she gave him that coin it made me cry

    Wow, she handled this interview perfectly. Her family must be very proud. 👏 Edit: Thanks for all the like guys, wasn't expecting that.

    I could not stop tears from my face. How can a young woman be so full of great courage yet filled with so much kindhearted sincerity? Ukrainians have taught the entire world what it means to fight today for the assurance of tomorrow. 'Hold on Ukraine. Change is coming …'
  • You can tell the anchor man genuinely wanted that coin and was happy she gave it to him. Absolutely loved the authenticity and love between the both of them.
  • Ukraine has some really articulate people representing their cause. Very consistent, positive messaging.
  • I started to cry. I can't stop. Such brave people. Glory to the heroes.
  • @Jim-xf5vw
    She answered very well: 'Courage is to act' Nothing more to say.
  • Andrianas sincerity and seriousness made me tear up 😢😢😢

    As a former Navy NCO, I have endless respect for you sister. I would give my entire challenge coin collection for one of those coins. Slava Ukraine!
  • Brought tears to my eyes! What a wonderful display of gratitude and love from Ukraine to the US. Watching from Australia.
  • @skitkjell85
    That coin-deliverance was pure and simple symbolism; "THANK YOU! We don't have much right now, but this we do have." Also... amazing courage from her knowing her homeland is burning as she speaks. ^_^

    To everyone touched by Sgt Andriana Arekhta's incredible strength & heart, contact your elected representative and ask them to give full support to Ukraine . If you live in a Western country, chances are your government is already supplying Ukraine, so encourage them to keep going and supply what is needed. As Sgt Arekhta said at about 06:35, "courage is to act". PLEASE, replicate her courage and act in the way you can - by helping her to rally worldwide governmental support. Slava Ukraini! ✊️💙🌻💛
  • @80-80.
    Lovely woman, lovely people. Glory to Ukraine 💙💛
  • I’m a female US Army veteran who served during the Cold War Era. What a brave woman/soldier fighting for her country. You will be in my prayers.
