Battle of Kyiv - Russian Invasion of Ukraine DOCUMENTARY @UNITED24media

Remember, the definition of a feint is when you lose the majority of your elite troops and hundreds of pieces of hardware

I were in Kyiv at that time. In Obolon' region of city. My father was fighting at battle of Kyiv as a member of 72 motorized brigade. He was defending his family, his city and he succeeded. Later he was killed in Kharkiv region. I am so proud of him, I am so thankful for his sacrifice. He fought and died so I and so many others could have freedom

If this battle will ever prove anything in military history, it’ll reinforce the mantra that “soldiers win battles. Logistics wins wars”

It's crazy watching this knowing it's not some historical documentary but what's happening in Europe right now.

I fought at Moschun...what a horrifying experience. Glory to Ukraine.

It feels surreal that we’re getting closer to the year mark of this conflict

It’s eerie to think that all the people died in this series, soldiers or civilians, were still alive a year ago. Historic battles have a feeling of distance, but this series… each line pushing means numerous people that are living, dreaming contemporarily with us have left us.

Ukrainians are truly a grateful, noble and resilient people. They deserve the world’s admiration and their material and logistical support.

Incredible resilience by incredible people. I am glad my country was able to help them. Thank you for such a great video! Very well done.

I was part of both Moschun and Irpin campaigns as a member of the International Legion. Moschun was the most horrible experience in my life. While this documentary underlines the importance of our suicidal defense of Moschun, the International Legion played a major part in holding the settlement. I was in the "Killhouse" with 10 other foreigners for 5 days. It was extremely brutal and we made them pay for every inch.

I was part of the territorial defense of the city of Vasylkiv. so were the Russian special forces who came to our city early. but there were parachute landings in the city and on the airfield. at night there were street fights in the city and at the airfield. the authorities appealed to realtors who rented out apartments to provide information on which addresses were recently rented. and then the military went to these addresses and arrested special forces, but it was with battles, a lot of information is kept secret. then several of my friends died

As a resident of the most western part of Kyiv, I saw battle for Hostomel and Irpin from my window (I live on the 24th floor). A lifetime experience I can say. The only thought in my head was - if orcs succeed in Irpin, my house will be next just after they cross the forest. Praise to our defenders who didn't let orcs into Kyiv. Also, the video was precise and interesting to watch, thanks for your work.

I am from Kharkov and our house is near the ring road. On April 21, one of the bombs from the Uragan salvo system exploded near our house. Thank you for this video, the Ukrainian army are the heroes of our time, who once again showed and proved the words of the great Churchill - never surrender! We are very grateful to all the people of Europe, England, the USA, and others who support Ukraine, provide weapons and finances. Every taxpayer of these countries is an accessory to the victory and this triumph!

"I need ammunition ,not a ride" hope history will never forget this line..

Who could have possibly thought that "the enemy will not fight" is not a good plan?

I am Greek and I was living in the east side of Kyiv when the war started. I still remember everything like it was yesterday

My father was stuck outside of Kyiv in the Kyiv Oblast during the first days of the invasion. Not far from us other villages were completely massacred - like Makariv and motyzhin. At some point around February 27 or 28th, I completely lost contact with him for about 24/48 hours. I didn’t know, but at the time the intense battle near completely destroyed electrical towers, and our village was cut off from electricity. There was no cellular connection either. They were already rationing food and many of our neighbors hid in our basement - as our house was one of the few to have a basement. They were pretty much completely surrounded by battles. It was the most horrifying time of my life. I had at that point bid farewell to my dad because there was no reason to think that he wouldn’t wind up dead - although I still had some hope. Didn’t help that few days prior the Russian soldiers already shot someone living next to our village. And then, about a day after I lose contact with him, he manages to escape with many other neighbors . Somehow they found an open window of opportunity, and everyone got in their cars and escaped. And I remember just crying because my father recorded videos of him driving out of our village and that very highway which I drove so many times was just completely obliterated. Burnt up cars and tanks and gas stations. Destroyed houses. A shop we frequented. When i returned to kyiv last summer to check on our house, we found out that while the Russian soldiers destroyed neighboring villages, all of them chose to live in ours and made great use of our beds, toilets. A video came out where some Russian soldiers who was shot in our village had stolen female panties and a vibrator with him - vital efforts for denazification you know. We were extremely lucky that month. Many weren’t, unfortunately.

Perun explained why Russians keep sending units even when an attack suffers heavy losses. The commanders don’t report the losses, and they claim a greater victory than happened, so upper command sends more units to exploit a gap that didn’t happen.

I'm living on the northern side of Kyiv. I was witnessing from my window as thousands of people were leaving by cars outside of the city to neighboring Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel. It still breaks my heart any time I think what horrors they must've endured following their exodus. And to think about how many would never come back... I remember constant shellings, sounds of explosions, aviation and heavy machinery, rocket strikes, occasional rifle shots in the distant. And I remember that time when our administration implemented 72 hour curfew. Us civilians knew exactly that something major is going to happen. During those days sky was red in the north all the time, and smoke was visible be day or night. Artillery and explosions could be heard and felt constantly. To the point of you growing numb to them. For me those days will forever be stamped in my memory. God bless all the people who fought for us and who are still fighting. To those who lost their lives fighting so our city won't fall. For those who fought no matter what, when the odds were against them. You're truly legends, heroes. And God bless those who aided them as well, be it volunteering, donations, humanitarian or military aid etc. Слава нашим Героям! Ви найкращі.

I am from Mykolayiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦 Proud of my country!
