A very sad day for America but President Trump is walking tall, head held high! Everyone should pray for him and his family, while praying for our Democracy that is under attack by the Radical Left. @EricTrump @realDonaldTrump @NEWSMAX
Spent the 1st anniversary of the war in Konstantinivka just northwest of Bahkmut. As the Russians continue to push in all directions around Bahkmut, Konstantinivka is now on the front line. 500lb bomb crater at entrance if cultural center.
More heroic Ukrainians holding the line in south Donbas. Under blizzard conditions, Git and Vloda showed me their town - Toretsk. less than a mile from the Russians. Within machine gun range of the Russians Olga continued to run the town hall and administration.
A sea of memorial flags greets visitors to Maidan Square in Kyiv. In small clusters among the yellow and blue of are flags representing international volunteers killed fighting here over the past 10 months. Among them, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Sweden, the UK, Canada and the US.
In Kherson in the square where Russian troops fired on protestors 10 mos ago and now fire artillery into the city. Next to the apartment we stayed in, a former Russian barracks destroyed by a precision strike courtesy of US HIMARS. The rest of the neighborhood was untouched.
Visited the recently liberated city of Kherson in South Ukraine. Listened to harrowing tales of the occupation and with some Ukrainian volunteers looked at the Russians just across the river as they fired artillery into the city every five minutes as the people tried to rebuild.
Three air raid alerts and two barrages of missiles on the city center in Kyiv over past 72 hours. Residents of Kyiv still came out on New Years to show their spirit and resolve.
This week was about two flags. My US flag which is now on its 5th war, seen here on the frontline just south of Bahkmut with some heroic Ukrainians and the flag we helped prep, presented to President Z in the besieged city and 24 hours later presented to Congress
We joined President Zelinsky in the besieged city of Bahkmut. Before his surprise arrival we helped the Ukrainians prep a signed flag to present to him. 24 hours later he stood before the US Congress and presented it to them.
In a display of bold leadership, President Zelinsky cane into the heart of the besieged city of Bahkmut. Surrounded on three sides, the Uk defenders have held the city for months. Today their commander in chief joined them to hand out medals for valor.
Ukrainian forces training in the field as hard fighting continues in the east and the next phase of the war begins with the approach if Winter. All eyes here turn south with encouraging reports from Kherson.
Zoloshniv Castle includes stones from its original builders the Teutonic Knights. This “wishing stone” is among them with 500 year old carvings and a hole in the middle to hang onto as you make a wish. Wishing for a quick end to the war here in Ukraine
