SafetyWing (best for younger travelers + digital nomads): safetywing.com?referenceID=alinamcleod&Ambassador
I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid. I am an affiliate for both companies, but I pay for my own policies.

Hi Alina. Never before have people from Ukraine and Poland been so close together. There are over a million Ukrainian war refugees in Poland by now and we all warmly welcome them here (I mean ordinary people, the government does sh*t as usual). I am now hosting 3 people from Ukraine in my apartment and I am no exception. It's our war, too. Love from Poland.
That is very kind of you, thank you
People in Ukraine and Poland had always been close together. Look at the map.
Poland always had millions of Ukrainian refugees.
If the Ukrainians want to come to North America, whether down here or north in Canada, I want them to feel very welcome.
In Ukraine there were in 2020 44130000 population, media it’s talking about 1.6 millions of refugees so far, that’s around a 4% of all of them. It’s not much considering what’s happening there.
Alina mentioned chemical weapons being used. Now its confirrmed Russia has used brutal Thermobaric weapons to kill people in Mariupol and other Ukrainian cities!!! HORRIFIC! 😨
I stand with Ukraine too! We already accommodated a mom with children in our house in Bulgaria.
That's wonderful. Thank you!
@@AlinaMcleod It really comes naturally as we are located very close to the Romanian border.
Wonderful well done 😁👍👍👍
fantastic
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌️✌️✌️
We all stand with you and everyone in Ukraine. Stay strong Alina! 💙💙 💛💛
Ukraine is such a beautiful country of rich heritage and culture.But seeing it in this way being destroyed kills me.I hope this catastrophe ends.
It was beautiful. Russia has now destroyed it. It will take at least 10 years to fix the damage Russia has done. Very disappointing.
Lithuanians (a country of less than 3 million people) have already donated over 17 million euros to Ukraine! I'm glad to say my modest contribution is there too.
Alana. You are so brave an such a good communicator. You stay focused and logical as best you can despite the circumstances in Ukraine and for your family. We greatly appreciate that. We care deeply for you and your family and all Ukrainians.
A special shout out to Alina for raising worldwide awareness about the humanitarian necessities of the Ukrainian refugees. The Lord bless, protect and provide for all the Ukrainian people in need. ✝️🇺🇦🌟🙂🕊️
🤮🤮🤮
The destruction of beautiful Ukrainian cities and the loss of so many innocent lives is a shame.
Ukraine did not heed the advice of Professor John Mearsheimer to Ukraine, which parallels the view of Dr Henry Kissinger, Ukraine must never be a military outpost of either NATO or Russia. As a result, all this war catastrophe which could have been avoided.
ua-cam.com/video/fAZJqQEe8mc/v-deo.html
According to University of Chicago Professor of Political Science, John Mearsheimer, the USA and NATO is responsible for starting this war, not Putin.
ua-cam.com/video/xbuQIxput9c/v-deo.html
Zelensky is hailed as a hero by Americans today. Tomorrow he will be proven a zero when Ukrainians find their cities destroyed with countless human lives lost. Eventually, Ukraine will still not join NATO after a peace agreement is reached. Why ?
Ukraine's fate is sealed by the fact it is located next to Russia's border. Had it been located near France or Britain, Putin will have no problem, say if Ireland wants to join NATO.
The USA has the Monroe Doctrine which says that no distant great power can have a military alliance in the Western Hemisphere. When Russia tried to set up missiles in Cuba, USA has a right to object. But now Russia can't object USA putting missiles at its doorstep ? Why the double standards ? Will USA allow Russia and China to set up military alliance and base with Cuba, with missiles pointing at Florida USA today ?
USA politicians will go down in history as cowards and evil for using Ukrainians to fight Russia on their behalf, using Zelensky a pro USA leader who gets his instructions from the USA. Why ? It's very clear by now USA and NATO had never intended to engage in a war directly with Russia. All they want is to use Ukraine to fight Russia using Ukrainian blood. USA will fight Russia to the last drop of Ukrainian blood, supporting a war far away from its own continent. If this is not despicable and cowardice, what is ?
ua-cam.com/video/xbuQIxput9c/v-deo.html
This video is by far the best if you want to understand why Putin has no choice but to invade Ukraine.
As an actor Zelensky was Servant of the People
As a president Zelensky is a servant of the West.
ua-cam.com/video/fAZJqQEe8mc/v-deo.html
Ukraine, on the behest of Zelensky, who received counsel from USA, obviously knew in advance that there will be no direct support from USA or NATO. See Professor John Mearsheimer advice to Ukraine, parallels the view of Dr Henry Kissinger, Ukraine must never be a military outpost of either NATO or Russia.
ua-cam.com/video/fAZJqQEe8mc/v-deo.html
The West wants to divide and conquer Eastern Europe, making Ukrainians and Russians enemies instead of friends.
Devastating beyond words what is happening. Some great advice about the renting airbnbs and raising money for people of Ukraine. Bless you Alina.
Thanks, Ellie
@@AlinaMcleod how I can get there I want to volunteer as a fighter,I'm from Philippines and I'm an ex Philippine army
Greetings from Seattle, thank you for the links. I don't have any family in Ukraine but have several friends that do. We continue to pray for the peace Ukraine deserves.
You don't have to be a subject matter expert to make a difference wherever you can Alina, and I will always support you for that!
Thanks lovely!
Thank you. Yes I have been following Olga and Pavlo and you since before the war. And now Taya and others too. Praying everyday for protection for Ukraine and it's people. I'm just devastated and heart broken. Will share the links. Take care and God bless your family & Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Thank you
I stand with Ukraine, I still see a victory. Been helping my friend but she will leave . Her son is defending the mother land.
I could see Ukrainian people really love their country and stay strong. Hope the world would be in peace soon that people suffered because of politicians’ game.
Many Ukrainians have left and flee. Many parts of Ukraine are no longer liveable. They have gone to places like Canada to build a new life.
Romania is with Ukraine all the way!! We have about 400k Ukrainians who entered our country and the Romanian NGOs and people have helped in every way we can, free healthcare, housing, food, transport and everything. I hope this war ends soon, stay strong.
Thanks for the video ! Yes the world citizens need to be an all out support ! For Ukraine ! Thanks again !
Once the sanitation system fails, you have only hours to evacuate whatever area it is, before there are serious diseases that begin to spread.
Hi Alina! I'm a long time follower and it was your channel that first introduced me, as an American, to Ukraine. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine and everyone affected. I made a small donation through the link that you provided. I wish your family and all people in Ukraine to come out safe from this senseless war. Stay strong Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!!
Thank you very much!
I started watching your videos last autumn as I was really hoping to go to Ukraine, can't beleive have quick the War there has esculated. Thinking of you and I hope your family are safe xx
Thank You Alina
thank you for all you do
Thank you, Alina for what you do. Keep the faith. You have our blessings and support. We will be in Spain to night and off the street since leaving Odessa on Tuesday. Just another chapter to my book, Alona says hi and thanks for being who you are!! Cheers!!! ❤
That’s wonderful to hear!
Ukraine is such a beautiful place and I pray to God that this War Ends Now, you are such a good Ambassador of Ukraine, i followed you on your last trip there
“Freedom isn’t free”.
It’s an unfortunate truth. Hopefully this mess is resolved soon.
Yea but it only costs a buck '0 five
Just watching the horror unfold, my heart goes out to Ukraine and its people. How can one crazy mad person create so much of destruction, sorrow and pain to these innocent lives? Indeed so much of evil and Satan personified!
Today, the war still rages on. I pray there be peace in Ukraine.
STAND WITH UKRAINE.
Hi Lina, yes Pavlo is in Ukraine. Ukraine needs aid in this tragic moment. God bless.
Nice video alina i really appreciate all the efforts that you have putten in this video. I just hope that this conflict between russia and ukraine ends ASAP. I've been following you for nearly 2 years now and i always enjoyed all your amazing videos. When i watch some of your older videos i feel some nostalgic feelings especially that ukraine video which you filmed few years back. This year 2022 ain't starting too good. Lets pray for this conflict to stop and for the world to be a better place.🙏💖
Alina, we are in 21 century and it is so sad to see something like that, ... a destruction done by one crazy man.
I believe Ukraine will win this senseless war and rebuild the country to be even better than ever. Many countries are supporting brave people of Ukraine and heroic president Zelensky.
Zelensky actually personally responsible for the war in Ukraine.
Zelensky's Ukraine has 97 billion debts, Ukrainians are fleeing abroad, Zelensky has a civil war in Ukraine, and now there is a war between NATO and Russia for the interests of Biden. Zelensky was given weapons to kill his people further and more for the interests of NATO ...... and than proud ? A mountain of corpses of Russian and Ukrainian children and the poverty of people?
Eight years! Ukrainians said that Ukraine has been at war with Russia for a long time and a lot. They said that Russia and Russians should be destroyed. Ukraine shelled and killed children, old people and women in Donbas every day. And Russia was forced to come to this war. Why is there so much noise about this war now?

Alina thank you for letting the world know about what's happening in Ukraine ..............Peace soon i hope
The world 🌎supports Ukraine
I am really sorry about what is happening in your original country. The whole world does.
Really appreciated this video. Information you shared, simply isn’t available on mainstream news.
Thank you Alina, God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 💖 🙏.
It's frustrating to watch and other than donating.....to feel helpless.
What does The Free World's population think of us intervening directly. Because, to me it's like watching a WWII Hitler newsreel in current time....and we don't join the fight. Many may disagree with me, yes it is dangerous but it's dangerous to not fight for Ukraine's freedom, which represents to me also freedom of us all.
omg what a beautiful intro-- bravo your best yet
today, I became your subcriber, you rock!
I got an email from my online bank today (N26) who told me that they will match all customer donations made to the Intl Red Cross Ukraine fund. I immediately made a donation via the link which was doubled by my bank. I hope other businesses will follow this example and step up to aid Ukraine in the face of this outrageous aggression by Russia.
That’s wonderful
Friendly force! Greetings to you and your family from Uruguay! 🇺🇦💪🏼🇺🇾
Pavlo from Ukraine is one of my favorite you tubers. He is a good man, I am glad that he continues to give us firsthand information about the situation!
Oi Alina, estamos todos junto da Ucrânia, juntos do povo da Ucrânia e rezando para que esse conflito termine o mais rápido possível. Vocês vão reconstruir melhor, mais bonito e mais fortes que nunca. Contem conosco do Brasil. Estamos aqui para ajudar./ Hi Alina, we are all together with Ukraine, together with the people of Ukraine and praying that this conflict ends as soon as possible. You will rebuild better, prettier and stronger than ever. Count on us from Brazil. We are here to help.
Obrigada!
Gracias, amigo brasileño. In Spain in every city Ukrainians are collecting staff to send to Ukraine and every Spaniard it’s helping. Dozens of trucks everyday go to Poland and buses go there to pick up Ukrainians and bring them to Spain. Now I am sure Ukraine will win the war.
@@frank5891 @Alina McLeod Não sei se a Alina soube, mas essa semana o governo brasileiro enviou um avião para a Polônia com 11,6 toneladas de ajuda humanitária, principalmente comida, roupas, remédios e purificadores de água para os refugiados ucranianos. O avião voltou trazendo 80 pessoas, brasileiros, ucranianos e latino americanos e 10 pets (cães e gatos). Nosso presidente afirmou que ninguém será deixado para trás. Quando um novo grupo for formado o avião será enviado novamente. / @Frank @Alina McLeod I don't know if Alina knew, but this week the Brazilian government sent a plane to Poland with 11.6 tons of humanitarian aid, mainly food, clothing, medicine and water purifiers for the Ukrainian refugees. The plane returned bringing 80 people, Brazilians, Ukrainians and Latin Americans and 10 pets (dogs and cats). Our president has stated that no one will be left behind. When a new group is formed the plane will be sent again.
From waking up to sirens, to their 3 day escape from Ukraine, Olga and Tetiana share their heartbreaking journey as refugees...

Praying 🙏 for Ukraine 😔 fr jamaica 🇯🇲🌞🏖️😎
Alina, The help and support you are providing for you family and The Ukrainian People is unwavering💖. Harriet and I continue to support other local organizations such as The American Red Cross and The Community Foundation of Virginia as volunteers getting money and needy supplies to the Ukrainian People. Again, Alina Thank you for being the gentle soul in raising
awareness and support to Ukraines who desperately need our help. Sending you lots of love😍😍 Jim and Harriet, Richmond, Va.
Thanks guys! You are incredibly kind to help so many organizations in this difficult time.
There is an information that money from donation are illegally redirected to the purchasing weapons instead of humanitarian products for Ukrainian civilians
I can’t really imagine what it is like. I have given everything I can in the last couple of weeks. 😢😢
Thank you very much
@@AlinaMcleod The UK need to let those who want to come here. It is wrong to slow visa’s down 😢
I stand with Ukraine
Glad that your family is all safe!
Thanks for setting up Razom, so I know my donation goes to help people on the ground, and not mostly administration. My trust is in you, because you are heavily invested in seeing the help goes where it's needed.
Thank you for supporting, Jim!
I've sent donation last week to Irish red cross, hope it does something good for the devastated Ukrainian people 💙💛
God Bless You and Your Family in your efforts to aid the Good People of Ukraine! A small donation has been made.
Thank you, Ed!
So glad your family is ok. This whole thing is gut wrenching and heartbreaking. I pray that somehow this all comes to an end real soon. Please stay safe yourself and thanks for the update.
Glory to God and glory to Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏
Alina, thank you so much for all the information! I pray for all Ukrainians every day 😢 Please let us know if your family knows someone who is also in need of money donations, I would be happy to support them directly. Thank you and Slava Ukraina 🇺🇦🙏
Thank you, I will keep that in mind
Thanks for what you are doing, glory to God and glory to Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏
I have pledge to The American Red Cross and thru paypal directly to a few close friends and will continue to support...STOP THE WAR!..NO WAR!..🙏✌

I like your story
and message
Thank you
I hope peace for Ukraine ! God protect you and family.
Peace come soon to Ukraine
I hope peace for Ukraine people
And compromise between two side
Greeting from iran ❤
Thanks for the video, Alina. I hope your friends and family remain safe. Most of my friends and family are except for a friend's grandma who is missing (her house which she abandoned in Brovary was also destroyed), likewise another friend's aunt who escaped Donbas in 2014 and moved to Mariupol and is now missing. It is truly heartbreaking; many sleepless nights here in Australia worrying about everyone and hoping for the best.
It is also sad that the west isn't doing enough to help Ukraine. The pictures I have seen are devastating (I hope some I have seen never make social media) but surely the west can't stand on the side when such atrocities are being carried out. It is clearly a genocide of Ukraine by Putin's regime.
I hope she’s alright!
Thanks for the suggestion. My family was looking for an organization to donate to. With your current background in my ancestral homeland I'm sure this will be an excellent choice. Just so you know, with the large Ukrainian population here in Saskatchewan there's a ton of fundraisers going on. A radio station in Regina raised more than $1million last week.
That's wonderful!

Thank you so much. ALina.
Heart wrenching
So sad what is happening there. Hope your family stays safe and I have donated $50 towards your link.
Thank you very much!
It's so bad what is happening right now. I already did my donation through Red Cross.
Patrick Lancaster is doing a good job on his channel
War anywhere is horrible. I am sorry for the people in Ukraine to go through such devastation, and loss of their family's, and homes, and their country!!
For some reason I always felt attracted to Ukraine. Far before the actual conflict. I can say the same about Canada. Not sure why (beside the suffering) but my heart is in Ukraine. Let's just expect the best and be prepared for the worst.
I'm currently in Poland right now helping and supporting refugees financially. I tried to donate through the link you provided its giving me errors or maybe this internet connection I have is not that stable.
I am from Serbia, we in Serbia survived the same during NATO atack on Serbia. I do not support suffer of people but i understand russian fear of NATO on some way.

Great story
Thank you
YOU ARE SO PROUD TO UKRAINIAN GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND PEOPLE MY PRAYERS ARE WITH UKRAINE
What's uuup we love you and you have my support 😍😍

Very good message
Thank you very much
I was just recently in Ukraine, and Poland. Less than a month after got back to the states, all of this craziness started. Many of my Ukrainian friends fled to Poland, and other countries. I think these current times will go down as a major turning point in history, and like you, I hope things de-escalate soon🙏🏾 Thank you for the charity recommendations.
Hi Alina, I am a long time follower of yours. I live in the Toronto area. I cannot tell you how devastated I am about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 It is beyond belief that a country would savagely and purposely launch such an attack for no reason against anyone. I also follow Pavlo from Ukraine 🇺🇦 I pray the invasion ends soon.
Thank you
Morning Alina.☕❤️
We support Ukraine
So sad genoo ko nimo oi ka looy ninyo diha
Alina you don't wory about Ukraine 👍
Am so happy that ur family is safe an the rest of the Ukrainians god please protect them Russia should hold accountable for this in the highest court.
# Ukraine give up for peace❤
We have to remember that every day 100 thousands Ukrainian crossing to Poland and they have nothing ? Also Poland trying to evacuate 10 thousands of orphans children they are the priority and please donate to them
I think you should go to Poland and help volunteer with Ukraine people crossing to Poland! We need people who speak Russian English
That intro beginning is so amazingly well made
I use have used Wise extensively for over a year and am very happy with the results. Keep in mind that Wise is bank account to bank account. Ukraine is a great country. So sad.
there are many telegram channels with a flood of information. many of them have very graphic images and videos of the disaster which don’t make the news. some of that content isn’t suggested for the regular viewer. and some content you may need to filter from disinformation.
in general, it’s to the point where it’s overwhelming to keep track of everything that is going on. but having a look at them lets you become more informed than most people and many times inform you before the news even reports on it.
from time to time there is humor and positive news which eases much of the worry.
considering the civilian casualties, i would highly recommend your relatives flee the country if given the opportunity to do so unless they decide to fight. peace and safety to you and your family.
They would all leave but men 18-60 are not allowed to leave.
Thank you for everything you do ...!!! We love Ukraine and can't wait to return to our family in Kyiv... Slava Ukraina !!
Thank you. I hope they all stay safe.
@@AlinaMcleod Thank you... we check in several times a day. We are nervous for them and pray all the time. We also honeymooned in Odessa. I hope this ends soon and the government of Russia changes.. .to human f**&ng beings..

Благослови Боже Україну та Україну Героїв
God bless Ukraine!🙏🌻🌻🌻💙💛
😭😭😭 🇺🇦 You have awesome videos of Ukrain before the war.
They are priceless considering the present devastation. Hopefully this war ends soon...
Alina we are all pakistani people's already stand with Ukraine👍🇵🇰💖
We feel your pain here from the UK just as most of the world does. The UK has raised so far £150 million in donations heading to Ukraine and more to come. They are now aiming to get more refugees into the UK. I watch the news all day everyday finding out what is happening. The pain you see is heartbreaking. I am happy to invite Ukrainians to come and stay in my home. Ukraine the world is with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with people of Ukraine. I sent my donation through my company who are matching employees donation. This way it gets doubled up..
Congratulation on the vídeo and Happy Friday
Does anyone know the name of the music at the beginning of this video? Thanks for your videos, Alina!
I think its Burgundy
@@VeronQZthanks, but I can't find it with that name 😢
@@CulturaEscrita I found my old school teacher on youtube shorts, im flabbergasted
my favorite Radio station in Toronto is always playing a spot to help raise money for Ukraine . 120.1 The Edge , corus entertainment .
❤️❤️ UNICEF is more about helping weak and old. But this charity is more about paying income to Maidan activists. I would prefer helping the target groups (old, sick) rather than paying to Maidan activists that are usually young and healthy and CAN earn money without our help.
My sister, Alina, may God be with your family and you. I hope the fundraiser would produce well for the sake of humanity.
Thank you for letting the world know about what's happening here. Greetings from Ukraine
