  1. You may not agree with him nor his life style, but damn, Anderson is a good man…was raised right under really screwed up circumstances. It shows.
    He is a dad, this has got to be killing him, I am too, is me…

    2. He is a man with so much love in him, he is the perfect example for the LGBTQ community, who are not groomers, I am a straight mother of three & I would gladly leave my kids with a gay couple rather than an ignorant racist republican couple who spreads hate.

    3. @Lemberg Native I don’t understand the brain burner guy…. what did he say? I just clicked on one of his videos. He is just looking for clicks I am guessing?

    1. I don’t think he was expecting the 🍼🍼😺😺😹 looks a bit awkward😺😺🦋💖🌹🇺🇸🇺🇦👀

    4. @Newmnan Yes he does, he has a toddler & an infant, when he had his 1st child he had said, ” I don’t know what took me so long, he’s beautiful” I think his name is Wyatt, not sure, from what I’ve seen, he keeps them private but they all seem very happy, he is a wonderful dad, you can tell when he held that baby girl, not a peep outta her, though Anderson needs to be careful, he has a family now, prayers for them all in Ukraine.

    5. Anderson legit brought a tear to my eye. When he was holding the little girl he looked like he was praying.

  3. Boy, what courage she has. She says …it ..like ..it is in Ukraine, for moms with three young children, living there in a war zone. President Vladimir Putin’s war reins down missiles and traps them. 🙏Thank you Anderson Cooper for this interview with a Ukrainian momma in the most personal way.. he knows how to do. ☮️💗May peace come soon to Ukraine.

  6. One can sense the stress and see it in her eyes, she tries hard to be relaxed and to smile, but there is so little to smile about when living under these conditions. A single mom due to the war just trying her best to take care of three little kids. I salute you from the bottom of my heart. Slava Ukraini.🙏🙏🙏💙💛

  8. The bravery and courage of Ukrainians under the horrific conditions imposed upon them is incredible. Thank you for bringing this beautiful woman and her family to us, Anderson.

    3. This is the closest real-life depiction to what my father went through when Japanese forces invaded his province in World War II. All of his schooling stopped at 8th grade and there was no such thing as online learning. They don’t talk about what it was like back then because it is too painful to revisit it.

  9. What a beautiful family! This mother is a warrior. Truly, all the people of Ukraine, those fighting on front lines and those just trying to live lives, are fighters. Prayers for peace in Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤

    3. @Йозеф Геббельс Yes, Z for Zelenskyy, an amazing statesman, standing brave and tall in a time of war, while Putin rattles his sabers, and cowers at the end of 25 feet long tables.

  11. This mom is well spoken as “a single mom” not allowing herself staying at her home as vs staying at shelters! Stop war !!!!

  12. Anderson, you are a wonderful man. Your heart must break a thousand times over having to see these civilians in person being targeted by Putin and not being able to just put all of them on plains and get them all safely out. I pray for protection for all of you. Your own family must be so very proud and afraid for you. These children are the bright future of Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine-FOREVER.

  13. That woman is courageous I pray 🙏 that she and her family and husband who’s fighting the war stay safe and survive. And I wholeheartedly agree when she said no negotiations with the monster.

    1. @tinkle tink No, she’s in pain, worrying so much for the safety of her husband, her children, and her country. She’s an incredibly brave intelligent woman, who is trying hard to take good care of her children and give them as normal a life as possible in a country at war. I salute her. You, not so much.

  14. Anderson is such a sweetheart for bringing her flowers.
    And my heart melted when she refered to her youngest as a “Kinder Surprise”. What an adorable way to describe an unplanned pregancy.

    1. Wouldn’t it have been a better idea to bring her something more practical, like food, as she is in a war zone?

      Reply

    3. @Lois Cassels agree. Maybe they don’t lack food, but necessity is more practical, thoughtful. In Asian counties. Guests bring package cookies, fruits etc.

      Reply

    4. @world citizen G in Eastern Europe flowers for the lady of the house are a must. Bringing food would potentially embarrass the hosts as it implies they don’t have enough. Even in these tragic circumstances, Anderson brought the most appropriate gift. Kudos for doing his homework. Cultural sensitivity.

  15. Poor lady, apologising for not offering a guest a lavish dinner while living in a war zone ☹️

    I could not admire the Ukrainian people more at this stage ❤️❤️❤️

    1. OMG, I so felt this. She is amazing! I cannot imagine someone barely keeping it together in an invasion of their country, bombing of their town, apologizing for not receiving a quest properly.

  17. This interview is so special and powerful. Anderson we value and admire the work you do. And this mom broke ny heart, she is such a strong women, her kids are so lucky to have her as a mom, she is finding the courage and strength how ever she can, that is the power of love. Hope this ends soon and that monster “Putin” pays for all the harm he has done to this innocent people.

  18. Her English is really good! Can’t imagine what she’s going through throughout all this. She’s smart to have crowned you the baby holder while she made your coffee and then some. 😊 Wishing them a lot of safety and strength. Peace and blessings! ❤️

  19. Ive been to Ukraine many times and I’ve never walked into a house without a very warm welcome of love and food and support. The less they have, the more they want to give. The culture of Ukraine is how we wish everyone would be. They have such a warm and strong spirit … and now we know that they have a fighting spirit to maintain their way of live. We all need to fight for them…. learn how they live and model our lives after them.
