We should see and honour more of these heroes like this old Cossack: "The weight of heavy military equipment weighs less than the light collar of a slave."
saint words .....
Wise words! Life is short, live it well, as free men/women, one day at a time. God bless
Got to get the dudes name so he gets copyright or at least credit.. EXCELLENT WORDS. SLAVA UKRAINE. VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.❤
There is a channel here on CZcams that absolutely cosigns with his sentiment. Zack the Russian has said the difference between Russia and Ukraine is Russian culture is that of slaves, due to the fact they were serfs until the end of WW1. Then immediately went under totalitarian Communist control, where they were still slaves. The Ukrainians on the other hand were never serfs, even under the rule of the Russian Czars. This is because of the deal the Czars cut with the Cossacks. They got freedom in exchange for fighting in the Russian Army instead of against it.
I’d to know what weapons pretty boy Turddeau has sent Ukraine since this war started?
May his 4 grandchildren live to see their grandfather happy, healthy, safe, and free. 💪🇺🇦🕊🌻

God bless the Cossacks and all the defenders of the Ukraine.
As a descendent of Western Ukrainians who went to Ukrainian school on Saturdays I can only tell you that sincerely the Cossacks are the most badass Ukrainians who keep the Ukrainian spirit alive and in Ukrainian too. It is heartening to see the real genuine and authentic Cossacks speaking of their history as warriors. Some of us wake up and put ties on our slave collars and they wake up and put on the armor of God.
There are Russian and Turkic Cossacks too
Cossack name, clothing, culture, swords...they don't appear to be Slavic in origin. By the way, it's a Turkic word.
How fucked up can your perceiption be if you compare a normal peace time job with slavery and a war time uniform with the armor of god. Apart from you chosing big words to hit the feels of people, this is total bs.
@@yo2trader539 The cossack way of life is inherited by the steppe nomads, like the crimean tartars. But the cossacks consisted of people from all over the slavic world and the steppes
These dudes are no joke, some of the most efficient warriors in Ukraine's history.
There is a reason why Czars were so eager to hire them to work as their enforcers...
All the Cossacks left Ukraine for Russia in the 18'th century and are fighting on the russian side now
@@vksasdgaming9472 just to make sure there are no misunderstandings: All Czars used all their military units as their enforcers against their people, as all monarchs at the time did more or less severely.

These guys are no strangers to fighting and their history says don't mess with them. Just don't.
Lol
So now fighting capability is inherited through blood? Sounds very NatSoc to me.
And the Cossacs probably fought in no wars unless they were in Afghanistan for the Sowjets and got their @sses kicked.
The sad reality is zelensky regime wants to use every last Able Body in Ukraine. Putin is part of the evil plan and they both playing a show on tv .. Part of wef reset
How is this even matter against 24/7 artillery barrages, airbombing and god knows what else :) War is aboud industrial capacity and not about some brave old fashion braindead zealots. I mean ukies are done already... But thats no surpirse. Those who chose US as their "friend" usually suffer a lot more than US advisaries :)

@@ErdoganIstKeinZiegenfi... don't even bother, he's just some Russian supporter trying to sow discord and defame these people. The legacy of the Cossacks is a lot more complicated than "they lost every war they participated in" which is completely inaccurate (if they were an ineffective fighting force the czar and Soviets wouldn't have used them so heavily for their fighting). In most cases when it was an internal struggle in the Russian territories there were Cossacks on both sides, the Cossacks fought and succeeded in numerous campaigns and at times had established their own independent state/territories. Their biggest downfalls were numbers (too few to fend off larger enemies) the fact they were for the most part either semi nomadic and had no industrial base like their enemies and lastly the fact that Cossack is a term for various groups throughout Ukraine and southeast Russia, so as pointed out earlier there was good chance that if there was an internal fight within Russia or between Russia and Ukraine there would be Cossacks on both sides fighting each other.

The Cossack said that their motto was "Liberty or Death".
That reminded me of one of our American Colonials, in (circa) 1777 A.D., who said,
"Give me Liberty or give me Death."

Let the old men teach the young men, 'the fight for freedom never ends'. Patrick Henry said it too, during our war of independence. The burned out Wheat Harvester brings me to tears.
I worked with Cossacks in the circus, excellent horsemen. Excellent hunters and fishermen too. They taught me how to be sneaky that served me well in the Army Pathfinder Corp.
They taught me the secret to standing up while a horse gallops, you train a short leg, fat back horse. That and balance. It was actually easy to learn.
They are a long suffering race. One of the Cossacks I became friends with wanted me to marry his mother so they could stay in America.
I should have done it, she was very beautiful, and they surely deserved to be Americans. I'm talking 50 years ago or so.
Speaking of...if you are going to let old grandpa fight, let me, I am his age. I was told I am too old, but I am still fit.
Great story ❤
Ah yes, love of freedom is why you fight for a Nazi regime that disenfranchised 36% of its population from voting, has murdered 10s of thousands of its own people for the crime of speaking a different language, consolidated all media into a single government run conglomerate, sends Nazi death squads to kill and torture its minorities, outlaws opposition parties, bans minority languages, and calls anyone inconvenient to the president a traitor. Yalls favorite Austrian corporal would be proud.

Bless them for fighting for Ukraine. Cossacks descendants from Vikings, if I recall my history. Or not, but according to wiki: "The Cossacks are a predominantly East Slavic". Thank them for their help.
There may be an admixture of Viking blood. The Vikings got around. That was their main thing.
Godspeed warriors 🇺🇦
Heroes 💪 God bless Ukraine and its heroes 🙏🇺🇦🇸🇪🇺🇦
I remember this man from the beginning of the war. Good to see he’s still alive and well and giving the Russians hell. Slava Ukraine 💪🏼🇺🇦✌🏼
Like fuck.. Russia is absolutely battering Ukraine soldiers.
@@RealDixonPeter you talking sh.t like your pootin!! Fuk off!
@@RealDixonPeter better being battered than killed like most Russian soldiers.
@@RealDixonPeter lol
@@RealDixonPeter I’d just like to ask why do you have a hard on for Russia? What have they honestly contributed to society other than genocide and a few art guys? Their government is the likes of 1630 feudal castles with the amount of corruption and how the ruling class can just do whatever they want with the people. Genuinely why do you like them so much?
Respect to these brave men.Slava Ukraine
May God bless our brothers in arms keep the fight Slava
Watching this makes me smile. Dont think because he is older he is slower. He is wolf waiting for his prey. The cossacks are born to fight. Hard as nails. I know because I'm the son of a cossack. SLAVA UKRAINI ❤
Cossack Power ! Things of Legends !

There is no powers on earth that will stop you achieving victory for yourselves and your people. Glory to Ukrainian warriors, glory to Ukrainian people and glory to the beating heart of Ukrainian, the world can hear and see it.
THAT COSSACK MORE OLD SAID EVERYTHING!! AND THESE 2 COSSACKS HAVE BLUE EYES SO THEY HAVE BLOOD OF ANCESTORS VIKINGS TOO! !
THEY ARE MIDDLE! ! MOST COSSACKS ARE DESCENDENTS OF VIKINGS OR HAVE BOTH OF VIKINGS AND GODOS OSTROGODOS! !
My deepest respect for these soldiers that choose to fight rather than run...God Bless them, and I hope I will have the same resolve if the time and war come knocking at my door...
VIVA COSSACK Liberty or Death!
Great report from the Frontline. What a bunch of proud and wise soldiers! Calm and clever, they are true icons and hero's! 🇺🇦👍
During the middle 1500's to the late 1700's there was the Zaporizhian Sich, wich was a Proto-State of Ukrainian Cossacks. They fought against the Polish, the Ottomans and finally the Russians before being defeated and annexed. I find poetic how, more than two hundred years later, they are again defending Zaporizhzhia from the Russians
Please Nicolas tell the full story not edited history. Apart from a few periods they were allies with the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth when it was a major power in Europe. Occasionally, due to not getting full rights in the Commonwealth they rebelled against the Commonwealth with either Ottoman or Russian support. However, when the Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth was dismantled during the partitions of Poland from 1792-5 by the Russian/Prussian and Austro-Hungarian Empires the Cossacks were defeated by the Russians etc and occupied. Cossacks and Russians have always had a love/hate relationship and Cossacks allied with many countries etc to defend themselves from Russian attempts to occupy and enslave them. They were rarely comrades in arms and usually only for brief periods in many hundreds of years of history of Central/Eastern Europe.
They fought side by side with Polish many more times than they fought side by side with Russians. In fact during the Russo-Polish wars of 1920-21 Ukrainians Cossacks fought alongside Polish forces when the Polish defeated the Russians in the battle of Warsaw and forced Russians all the way back well into Russian territories.
Basically only the Don Cossacks could be called Russian Cossacks. The rest were predominantly what are modern Ukrainians and have always had more hatred of Russia than any other country bordering their lands.
The Proto Ukrainian state was Kievan Rus . A state that was an established monarchy and sophisticated society well before Moscow was even a town. Zaporizhian Sich was years after both of these societies were more Ukrainian than Russian.
@@mikhailv67tv I never said it was a Proto Ukrainian State, i said it was a Proto-State that happened to be conformed by Ukrainian Cossacks
@@nicolasheredia956 So you did. My error.
@@saintsone7877 Don’t forget Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s rebellion in the mid 1600’s, which was a convenient excuse to murder tens of thousands of Jews.
Pardon my language, but these guys are such badasses. I hope they are honored for their bravery. God bless these fighters and God bless Ukraine.
Stay safe and strong Ukrainian Cossacks, and continue to defend your land with all your strength, your mind, and your soul from the evil Russian invading army.
Although older fighters might not be the strongest or the fastest they have life experience. They have had good lives and are prepared to die for their children and grandchildren. That gives them an edge and makes them savage warriors.
They smoke and don't fear death.
These Warriors are brave beyond words. When a man values freedom more than his life victory will certainly be his!! God Bless these brave Cossacks... I am so very proud of these people and their efforts in Ukraine and I'm not even Ukrainian.
Ah yes, love of freedom is why you fight for a Nazi regime that disenfranchised 36% of its population from voting, has murdered 10s of thousands of its own people for the crime of speaking a different language, consolidated all media into a single government run conglomerate, sends Nazi death squads to kill and torture its minorities, outlaws opposition parties, bans minority languages, and calls anyone inconvenient to the president a traitor. Yalls favorite Austrian corporal would be proud.
