The warrior Cossacks of Ukraine - BBC News

Bloody hell, the BBC are actually capable of making an unbiased column. Interesting stuff, always loved the Cossack's.

I mean, vikings,samurai, knights,conquistador and janissaries are cool. But the zaporozhian cossacks have always been my favorite since childhood! Even though i'm not eastern european.

They need you now more than ever ! Stay safe warriors

My grandfather came to Canada from Ukraine and he was a Cossack. Never really wanted to talk much about it so unfortunately we don’t have much information, but we do have a picture of him on a horse in the early 1900s in full garb

Ukrainian ancestors smile down upon them as they defend their homeland from invaders! 💪

greetings from zaporizhia! proud of our history

My ancestors are from China and I support Ukraine. We are the minority here but we are vocal. No one can brainwash us.

My mother's mother is from the Ukraine, I live in Canada. I am very happy to see the old traditions still alive. Much love and peace, freedom and pride in this! 💪❤

what a wonderful cultural history, one of which many are jealous. The Cossack spirit is free and unbroken. Slava Ukraini!

I love Ukraine, very beautiful country 😍😍😍

Люблю Украину и украинцев.никакая политика не сможет это изменить.Привет из Чечни.

I will go here one day. Cossacks have very little history over here in america but as a history student I know they were brave and courageous heroes.

Fun fact: cossack word is a borrowing from Turkic word Kazakh meaning freeman/rebel/warrior etc

Respect Ukraine from Serbia. Slava!!🇷🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦

Both of my Grandparents were immigrants from Ukraine in 1907. My Grandfather was an orphan from an early age, I am not sure who raised him. It was told to us that we are descended from Cossacks. This was so moving to me because I have always felt Pagan at heart, and that my Ukrainian blood runs deep. I feel that cultural knowledge is transferred to us through our blood in some ways. This spoke so deeply to me, I am so grateful to have seen this and look forward to going to Ukraine someday to help, but also to go to the villages where my ancestors are from. My father brought back soil from my Grandfather's village which we cherish. The thatched roof house he grew up in was still there.

I love Ukraine,I had never thought of checking about their traditional before the war,I am African but I really love Ukrainians,Slava Ukraine.

Very interesting film, thanks to BBC. I am as a citizen of Zaporizhzhia saw our island from a new side. This river island is so big in sizes and its rich and acient history
