  • Until recently Irpin was a prosperous suburb of Kyiv with thousands of people moving there annualy. But everything changed when Russia invaded Ukraine. Once a beautiful area turn into real hell.
    I visited Irpin soon after liberation. And here is what does the city looks like now.

    This senseless destruction and murder is very difficult to understand in 2022, especially from the safety of my home thousands of kms away on the other side of the planet. I feel helpless and wish I could help. Sending love and support from Tasmania.

    Thank you Orest, your mission is truly priceless. It's really difficult for me to understand how destruction like this is even possible. But the physical destruction is not even the tip if what's been experienced, the people who lived, worked, and enjoyed this community have experienced the worst of the devastation. My continued prayers are for the men, women and children who's lives have been altered so dramatically.

    I was left wondering about the flags behind the cultural center. I saw my country's (Finland's) flag in there and couldn't come up with any connection that Finland might have to Irpin. Except that Rauli Virtanen (a Finn) is there. Has Irpin put the flags of the journalists' home countries there?! If so, that is incredibly thoughtful of them, welcoming the journalists like that. What sweet people, still welcoming after what has been done to them!

    Wow, most excellent documentary video. Perfectly edited, nice music fills to push the story along, with clear and concise direction of subject matter. It will be impossible to deny what has happened in Ukraine with this level of documentation. Keep up the awesome work Orest. You are a testament to the fortitude of Ukrainian people.
    Велика повага та пошана до українців у цьому світі.

    I have so many different thoughts ... But as a Pole I can tell you that the Poles and the Ukrainians are now as close as possible ... Millions of Ukrainians in Poland show us that you are honest and hard-working people and in Ukraine that you love your country and are ready to defend it. We, two great European nations, have one common enemy - the Russian imperialism - and together we are stronger.

    The innocent civilian victims need to have closure and they must see justice. Without justice, there cannot be closure. Justice delayed is justice denied. Stand tall, stay safe. Salutations to all Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine.
    Невинні цивільні жертви повинні бути закриті, і вони повинні побачити справедливість. Без справедливості не може бути закриття. Затримка правосуддя - це відмова у правосудді. Стій, тримайся в безпеці. Вітання всім українцям. Слава Україна.

    This is Russia's way to demoralize, erase the Ukrainian nation, culture and people. Feel like we are watching the history of Hilter again total disregard of Geneva Conventions rules of warfare.
    But I am so proud of this nation. Putin truly believed he could walk in and take them in a week. They are still there still fighting for their freedom. Keep these brave warriors in your thoughts with hope and strength.

    Thank you & please be very careful of debris & other dangers, including mines. Most who watch this see & imagine their own towns destroyed, too, yes. But of course it's not the same thing you are experiencing. We are horrified in disbelief & anger that Putin's Russia would carry out such monstrous acts against innocent people. Nobody cares about sanctions anymore, we want him & his followers gone.

    Orest, my blood runs cold just watching this. It is terrible to see. I cannot imagine your sadness. I can see how attractive it would have been. If this were an earthquake that would be bad enough - but this was intentional which is distressing beyond words. We see news reports but this seems more immediate somehow. I am so sad for you all.
    I am glad our prime minister Boris Johnson has visited today. (A lot of people do not like him here in the UK but now is not the time to talk about that.)
    Thank you for showing us. We need to know - the world needs to know.
    I admire your courage and resolve. Be safe.
    With love from England. We stand with you. 🇺🇦🌻
    ps As I write, Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony is on the radio. Russian music is still being played, and Ukrainian musicians are being spoken of and featured a lot. Russian composers from long ago are nothing to do with this current evil man and his cohorts. Art and culture should unite us all. 🇺🇦🌻

The mother's and fathers who are supposed to protect their children can't protect themselves from this wicked act being stowed upon them 💔So many tiny eye's of a child that lived through this will forever need canceling just like a adult would...What kind of animals shoots innocent civilian people running away because they are trying to save their life and they still harm them and take their life...I don't know how you evil people sleep at night after committing these acts and yes you'll pay for your actions one day and if anyone doesn't feel the heartbreak watching this please fall to your knees and ask for a heart and a loving soul especially Russian decent turn this act around on your dictator!!!! You don't have to follow through with the cruelty he wants done to these people....Please Stop🙏💔🇺🇦
