President of the Ukrainian Community of Queensland Peter Bongiorni says the situation in Ukraine is 'varied'.
It comes after the battle for Kyiv is now underway with 'active combat actions' taking place on the streets of the capital and 'heavy battles" are ongoing in Vasylkiv.
'Some have bunkered down in their homes and their towns and their villages, some are fighting the enemy troops, and some have fled to Poland and other countries that are taking them in,' Mr Bongiorni told Sky News Australia.
'There's a sense of fear, uncertainty but a determination by all of them to keep Ukraine a sovereign country.'
The resistance within Ukraine by ordinary men and women across the entire country is becoming stronger and stronger. Even the Russian speaking East of Ukraine are totally opposed to this fascist invasion. The Russian Army is finding it hard going as their supply lines are increasingly under attack by armed militias who are prepared to lay down their lives to preserve Ukrainian Independence. This is a truly heroic struggle!

Propaganda and lies 😠😠😠
@AustNRail Says:
Good to see the propaganda network is alive and well. Did we hear about the Biological and Chemical labs and factories being destroyed by the Russians? What about the fake news about portable cremation trucks that a simple google search will find the same photo used in an advertisement for a mobile rubbish incinerator. The MSM has lost all credibility.

There’s a sense of fear. Really?
@garyweston3269 Says:
Be accurate. The uncertainty started in 2014 when the US with a Cia backed coup ejected the democratically elected govt of Ukraine, replacing it with a neonazi militia and a corrupt despot. 10% for the big guy. Nwither the US or Russia care about the Ukrainian people. This is a rich man's war over oil and pipeline at the expense of dead poor people let's call it exactly what it is. Poor people dying for rich peoples corruption and wealth seeking.

Australia should stay out of other countries business. We, the tax payer is NOT paying for our politicians thinking, talking and interfering other country's problems. How about fix the human right violation problem that we have in Australia first?! STOP forcing Australians to take the experimental medical treatment, e.g. the so called C19 Vax!
@bogdanv4981 Says:
Time for silly and useless talk is over. NOW is the time for military action, help Ukraine. I want to see the Russians flee! All it is missing is NATO will to do it. We do not need defending Europe or anything, we need now to stop the Russian invaders and teach them the lesson that no one can do in Europe what the crazy KGB guy putin is doing right now in Ukraine. Europe is in danger and NATO plays the defensive game?! They should know by now that the attack is the best defence. NATO, your duty now is to help Europe to get rid of putin and his band of criminals!
@eliwosalie9965 Says:
For years after the Post Cold War Putin sent repeated signals he intended to widen Russia’s sphere of influence and now Western Powers and its allies have lined up to oppose Putin’s invasion of Ukraine so they can’t say he didn’t warn them. Facts are facts. Putin kept sending repeated signals of his intentions to widen Russia’s sphere of influence and casts NATO’s eastward expansion as an existential threat to Moscow’s security and he made plain he viewed Ukraine was part of Russia and up until now few Western leaders never imagined Putin would go through with a full scale invasion to restore Russian control over the nations on its periphery. Putin’s all out assault on Ukraine has more or less put the West on its back foot, putting it another way he caught them with their pants down. They weren’t expecting this yet he repeatedly warned them for years. All NATO can do now is to build up its defence of its European Allies.

Russians attack Ukrainians,
Think again, who is the winner? Only one country is the winner. America.
Yanks sold all old weapons to Ukraine then just watch. They are able to sell gas and oil freely in EU without competitor. EU now have to pay more money for gas oil and electricity. Have a look at U.S share market! Wall street is having party now and all other markets like rubbish. Oil price goes up, gas goes up, all your bills are going up. Every single person on the earth has to pay money to U.S! The vaccines and now resources! Yanks are having party when Russians and Ukrainians are bleeding. It's nothing new, how many times Yanks use your brothers and sisters attackYank or neighbours hate each other? We saw this bullshit happened in so many countries. Chinese are fighting with the west for more than 200 years! Why they bully China? We don't invade, We don't rob and we don't kill. Just because we work hard then become U.S's rival! They use same propaganda try to separate our country,to make Taiwan our enemy. Russians and Ukrainians, Chinese in Taiwan and mainland Chinese. What's the difference?
Our history told us, we will never ever trust U.S. They only fight for their benefits, never fight for freedom and democracy or human rights. You should be very careful when Yanks are knocking your door cause they are interested in your pockets or you will be used as a weapon one day.
Bless Russians and Ukrainians, brothers should not fight each other but love and help each other.

putin has gone rogue and turned into a war criminal. No decent person would destroy the lives of good Ukrainian people, and also destroy the lives of own russian people ---- because the soldiers that he pushed to do his 'deeds' most likely don't want to have their own lives messed up, and they have family too in russia. Plus - many the russian public have friends and family in Ukraine.
@sextoncardew903 Says:
The US/UK/Australia have been roaming around the Middle-Eastern area from Africa to Afghanistan for the last 30 years invading and bombing with barely a mention from Sky News. Now that Russia has started a similar strategy in the Ukraine, to protect ethnic Russians, Sky News and other news sources cannot criticize Russia enough. Nothing ever changes. The US/UK and their supporters are noble, and the other side are always evil.
@peterrech2307 Says:
If you read the original German version of Hitler's book Mein Kampf, a chapter near the end says beware of the Red (Russia) and Yellow (China) peril. He said that unless they were stopped now, (in the 1930's) the red and yellow peril will join up and take over the world destroying democracy. Yes Hitler was a tinpot dictator too, but he did predict what we are heading for. A WORLD DOMINATED BY CRAZY XI JINPING AND MADVLAD PUTIN, GOD HELP US........I wont be here to see it but those younger will........goodluck..
@michaelj6486 Says:
Giving the civilian population guns and telling them to fight won’t have any impact militarily but will cause a lot of unnecessary civilian deaths. Maybe that’s what the Ukrainian government wants for some additional political points.
