Back to you guys in the studio.

All right, we have to take a quick break, but please don't go away because we've talked about the Russians, but when we come back, we're gonna be talking about the Ukrainian heroes who are inspiring the world.

So don't go away, because if you do go away, it means you support Russia because you stayed for the Russian part, but not the Ukrainian part.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to The Daily Show.

Earlier on, we were talking about the global fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

But obviously the people facing the greatest impact from the war are the Ukrainian people themselves.

Half a million people have been forced to leave their homes and they fled to neighboring countries,

Hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed, and countless others are huddled in basements, bomb shelters, and subway stations to avoid Russian missiles that are raining down on their neighborhoods.

In fact, one woman even gave birth while she was hiding out in the subway, which is terrible.

I mean, the only silver lining I could think was that at least it wasn't a New York subway, you know, because that newborn would have been kicked by a subway dancer and then arrested for not paying their fare.

But still, there is no doubt that this war has been devastating for Ukraine.

But at the same time, it's also clear that Putin has failed miserably in his attempt to break the country's spirit.

Because I don't know about you, man, but I've been on Twitter basically nonstop since this war started, just refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, you know, doing my part.

So I've seen all the videos coming out of this war.

And trust me, Ukrainians are not messing around.

Okay, I'm not a military strategist at all.

But if a grandmother hands me seeds and tells me that sunflowers will bloom from my corpse, I think it's time to retreat.

And I also love how her aggression was still on brand for a grandma.
