    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ❤️❤️ 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.
