    What these guys are doing is incredible! But the fact you are showing what the media isn't is just awesome! Safe travels!
    Edit* When I mention The Media I'm not talking about their agenda, I'm speaking solely on the fact that he's going where the media can't for whatever that reason is. But I don't doubt there are many of them not covering specific areas due to whatever their agenda might be.

      It is most definitely not the case that "the media isn't" covering post-combat liabilities being addressed; while this is most definitely the best coverage I have viewed, it isn't the first, but only one among many on the EOD mission.

      it is not, they are warhungry mercenarys who do unethical things just for being payed well. The voulanteers are eaven worse: they not only lack moral, they also belive all the propaganda that has been out there or are hating russians because of racist ideologie with the ukraine war being the only "legal" situation for them to kill russians and feed their racist/fashistic belives.

Truth is, most folks in the Russian Federation want nothing to do with this war. Most people are not like you. Chaos and destruction are easy- but there are more of us in the civilized world dedicated to building bridges than your ilk chewing like termites at the foundation. So, no sale, comrade- tell your handlers in the Kremlin that we aren't buying your line, and that we won't stop building connections until the people in Putin's gangster state are free.

I don't think there is a more selfless thing someone can do. I stumbled upon this video, I have no clue who you are, but your message needs to be flown for all to see. We need more of you in this world. You are setting an example to all those of us who sit on their hands and demand a change from our keyboards. You are one of a kind and we need to learn from you before you go. I'm not a religious person, but Godspeed brother.

He was an amazing person with a wife, 3 boys and was a martial arts instructor of the highest level.. even had a school for years that taught Wing Chun... Taken way to early. It's good to see a guy like you living to the fullest, not sitting around crying to yourself & making a difference. It's a real inspiration. Be safe out there.

    Hello, do you have data (or know where to find it) pertaining to which injuries are inflicted by mines/EODs in Ukraine? I'm thinking about maybe developing protective armor, but I'd need to know what areas of the body are affected most.

    Ukrainians really appreciate and greet all Australian, US, British volunteers of any kind to help Ukraine. We will never forget the brotherhood
