Killing innocent children, the elderly and everyday civilians. Ukrainian newspaper Novoe Vremya journalist YURIY MATSARSKIY, is embedded with the Kyiv military. From the frontline he observes: 'there are long lines of those who want to join our defense... youngest fighter is 18 years old and the oldest is 65. Many women, but mostly men. The most important thing is that there is not a hint of weakness or sadness in the ranks of our fighters. It is true, everyone is unanimous in the belief in victory and therefore moving only forward.' Matsarskiy, final words, were for anyone in Europe who is still doing business in Russia: 'I would like to say... You feed the murderers, get out of their (Russian), trade with normal countries, do not finance their war.' Welcome to: 'UNITED WE STAND'
