@ResEngMike es ist eine falsche Darstellung hier 🙈.Das Ukrainische Volk hat sich in großer Mehrheit 2014 , vorher, nachher bis 2026 für Demokratie, Freiheit und Europa entschieden.
Dies ist das Grundrecht jeden Volkes 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺⭐️
Der russische Imperialismus ist zu stoppen, zu zerstören.
@ResEngMike krieg ist schon da. Jeden Tag sterben in der Ukraine Menschen, Zivilisten, Soldaten…
- durch den russischen Aggressor
- durch den putin Angriffskrieg
- durch eine brutale Bombardierung ukrainischer Städte
- durch brutale Übergriffe
Frieden kann durch Rückzug des Aggressors
🇺🇦🕯️🇺🇸 REMEMBER HIS NAME: ERIK MARTIN GIGGLEMAN
Erik Martin Giggleman was an American soldier who could have returned home and lived a quiet life after serving his country. Instead, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he chose to fight again — this time for a country that was not his own.
Erik was born on May 15, 1992, in Denton, Texas. He joined the U.S. Army in October 2013 and served in the infantry until October 2021, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant. He completed two combat tours in Afghanistan and received numerous decorations, including the Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, four Army Commendation Medals, three Army Achievement Medals and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal.
In April 2022, only weeks after Russia's full-scale invasion, Erik volunteered to go to Ukraine. He initially served with the International Legion. Because of his extensive combat experience, he was later attached to Ukrainian special-forces units and fought across eastern Ukraine.
Erik was wounded near Petropavlivka in September 2022. He recovered — and returned. In September 2024, he was wounded again near Lyptsi in Kharkiv Oblast. He recovered — and returned again.
He knew exactly what could happen to him. But after witnessing what Russia was doing to Ukraine, Erik believed that defending Ukrainians and their freedom was worth the risk.
On November 21, 2025, Erik Martin Giggleman was killed in combat in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. He was only 33 years old.
An American from Texas. A U.S. Army veteran. A veteran of Afghanistan. And finally, a volunteer defender of Ukraine.
He didn't have to come. He didn't have to fight. He didn't have to risk his life for people thousands of miles from his home.
But he came anyway.
Ukraine must never forget Erik Martin Giggleman and the foreign volunteers who stood beside Ukrainians when our country needed friends willing to do more than offer words.
Honor, glory and eternal gratitude to our American brother. 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦
Erik Martin Giggleman
May 15, 1992 — November 21, 2025
Rest in peace, Warrior.
Героям слава.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 REMEMBER HIS NAME: GRADY KURPASI.
Grady Kurpasi was not Ukrainian. He didn't have to go to Ukraine. He had already given 20 years of his life to military service. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, he chose to go anyway.
Grady was born in Korea, adopted, and grew up in New York City. After the September 11 attacks, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 29. He became an infantry assaultman and later a Marine Scout Sniper, deploying to Iraq three times.
During two decades in the Marines, he earned numerous decorations, including the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and three Good Conduct Medals. He was selected for an enlisted-to-officer commissioning program, studied at UCLA, became an infantry officer and eventually reached the rank of Captain. He was also a Tillman Scholar.
After approximately 20 years of service, Captain Grady Kurpasi retired from the Marines in 2021. He had already done more than enough. He had a wife, a daughter, a home, and had survived three deployments to Iraq.
Then Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In early 2022, Grady went to Ukraine. His original intention was to help evacuate civilians and train Ukrainian soldiers. But Ukraine desperately needed experienced combat leaders, and Grady eventually joined the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine.
On April 26, 2022, while operating on the southern front, Grady went out with British volunteer Andrew Hill to investigate the source of enemy fire. They reported over the radio that they were under attack. Hill was captured by Russian forces.
Grady disappeared.
For his wife, daughter, friends and fellow Marines, there was no grave and no definitive answer. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. Months became a year. There remained hope that he might have been wounded or captured.
In April 2023, the United States officially confirmed his death. Then another mission began: bring Grady home.
Searchers entered the former frontline after Ukrainian forces liberated the territory. Human remains were eventually discovered near Oleksandrivka, between Mykolaiv and Kherson. Nearby were military items associated with Grady, including his helmet, body armor, boots and backpack.
DNA testing provided the final answer.
It was Grady.
On May 19, 2023, more than a year after he disappeared, his remains arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York before being returned to his family.
Grady Kurpasi was 50 years old. He left behind his wife and daughter.
Think about his story: Korean-born American. Adopted child who grew up in New York. Marine after 9/11. Three combat deployments to Iraq. Scout Sniper. Purple Heart recipient. UCLA graduate. Marine officer. Captain. Husband. Father.
After twenty years in uniform, he could have simply lived his life.
Instead, when another free nation was attacked, he crossed an ocean to help people he had never met. He went to help civilians and train Ukrainians. When Ukraine needed experienced fighters and leaders, he stood beside them.
Ultimately, he gave Ukraine everything a human being can give.
His life.
Grady Kurpasi wasn't Ukrainian by birth. But Ukraine will forever remember the American Marine who chose to stand with us when our country needed friends the most.
🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Honor, glory and eternal gratitude to Captain Grady Kurpasi.
Semper Fidelis, Marine. Rest in peace, brother.
Ukraine remembers you. America should remember you too.
