My country, My people, My proud - I am Ukranian
You should be. I am your western neighbour looking at you as my role model.
Слава Україні !! Calls a finn
Ukraine means freedom. And we fought for it for centuries. We will never give up.
Thank you for your video, don't cry for us. We are not crying, so you also shouldn't have to cry
Shut up semite Slava Rusich
Христос Воскрес! Треба молитися,а не плакати! Що людині не під силу,в Бога нема нічого не можливого,лише просіть про мир,про перемогу!❤️
I love Ukraine especially now..they really do exist in our hearts from Philippines with love to Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️
i am not even ukranian and i feel so proud of them for resisting with so much force, willpower and so much selfconfidence, STILL living their lives as best as they can during a war! it's unbelieveable.
Hi) I am very grateful for your words) Come to Ukraine after war and I'll give you a guide😉
When Ukraine wins this war, I´ll be sure to visit this beautiful country and meet the beautiful and brave people of Ukraine. Love from Finland my brothers and sisters. The Evil will never win. Slava Ukraini!
And thanks to Heidi for this reaction, hadn´t seen this video before.
Держитесь Финляндия! У вас этими террористами тоже большая граница, где то 1350 км.
Дякую за підтримку! Вітання з України!❤️
Such an awesome episode. I’m from the Netherlands, and just like for the Ukrainians, this war started many years ago for us. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17(MH17) was shot down above Ukraine on the 17th of July 2014. It was shot down by a Russian missile, which killed all of the passengers and crew on that plane. Including a friend of mine and 192 other people from my country. I feel so sad for the people of Ukraine. Because they are caught in a war which was started by a guy that still believes we are living in the 19th century. I’ve seen the woman and little children arriving on Amsterdam Centraal Station, with not much more than some clothes in backpacks. This war must end, and the ones responsible must face Justice at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. We’ve got enough space for all of those war criminals. Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava! 🇳🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸
What makes you think that?" "guy that still believes we are living in the 19th century"? The fact is that NATO and Western countries have violated every agreement. To spread more and more to the east. It is absolutely natural to think that this disturbs Russia's security interests. That is why Russia acts the way it does. Of course, it was an illegal war of aggression according to the UN Charter, but nevertheless, the West is not innocent of this state of affairs. To portray Putin as a crazy idealist like other war leaders in history is again just incredibly stupid media probaganda. Actually he acts quite logically and calculated and emotionless
Unfortunately, not one person, but millions lives in Russia in the 19th century. And these millions of "zombies" believe only their tsar and his court propaganda, aggressively supporting the attack on Ukraine and denying any information other than Russian TV.
2014 was "funny" generally, not only MH17 and Crimea, but even here in Czechia, Russian agents exploded our ammo storage and killed 2 people and caused damage for bilions of CZK, so for us, it also started in 2014, but until like 2021, we didn't know about that.
@@Pidalin have you forgiven them already for the Prague Spring 1968 bloody crack down?
@@666Maeglin Not really, it's not the same as with WWII and Germans who said sorry many times and don't deny their crimes, Russian politicians still say that 1968 was "brother help" and except few more friendly years in 90s, they never said sorry for that.
I’ve been to Ukraine 7 times one thing I’ve noticed they are very proud and friendly people. Mostly the younger generation. The elderly are a bit Stan off. I do love Ukraine. It’s a very beautiful country. A lot of history there.
As a Finnish service man who has been there,i truly enjoy this smiley and light hearted take on things. Thank you Heidi.
Welcome to Nato!
a lot of finnish people are fighting in ukraine against russians because we know how they suffer there, they have experienced the same basically as we did in 1939. we are supporting them as much as we can, (a lot of ammunitions, and teaching about tactics and leadership and stuff)... however ukraine still need WAY MORE help. they need a lot more ammunitions at least if nothing else
🇺🇦💓🇫🇮✌️💪
Good old hitlerists together again trying to fight Russia with new flag and old nazi purposes. So lovely)

Zelenskiy, is it you? 😆
@@artemz8416 nope
Thanks for the great video
Love from Ukraine🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸
As a Finn, every bigger building having a bomb shelter is just Tuesday. The rules were relaxed a bit in past couple of decades because the threat level was considered lower, but every apartment complex I have lived in has had a bomb shelter place for every inhabitant.
Kind of comes with having 1300 kilometers of border with Russia.
We are sooo happy Suomi is in NATO now! Your brave nation is well respected in the US (especially by anyone with European origins, like me). I hope to visit Suomi this summer 😊
Here in Poland it is so incredibly rare to find a bomb shelter that I have never in my life seen one. The few that exist were built by the Soviets and almost all of them are in Warsaw as they were only built under central government buildings. You would have thought that we had our lesson, be we don't really learn from our mistakes. At least we all have houses made of brick and concrete so some parts may be thick enough to serve as a shelter, but that's by coincidence rather than by design.
Like others have said, it’s great to have Suomi as part of NATO now! I’ve never been, but sure do hope to visit there (as well as Ukraine, of course) in the future. My ex-husband‘s grandmother was the daughter of Finnish immigrants and grew up speaking both English and Finnish. I had a great time learning from her-more than the average American knows about Finland, as well as a few Finnish words.
I feel for you, being a Ukrainian…
Lietuva.Kaunas 1000k❤️❤️❤️ Ukraine Литва, Каунас - бажаємо українським сестрам і братам перемоги над орками. Слава Україні!!! 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I am a 41 years old guy and had tears when I watched this episode and other hard moments from Ukraine. Do not apologise for what you felt!
Agree. It took me whole year to get collected again. Had to flee from eastern Ukraine in the first days of attack. Lost many people I knew. Bearing all of that I witnessed is hard. Even harder to know the truth about this war and not able to share it.
I'm crying to. I'm from Ukraine.
We have a lot fear, and we are so angry. But, looking for something like that we are crying.
@@user-hk3ve9lg6z la France est avec vous !

Im 29 and ive cried many many times through this war, bucha hit me harder it hurts to see people suffer. If I didn't have problems with my legs and back I prob would have went to Ukraine to fight. My life has no purpose anymore and me helping would have gave me something. I wish I would be able to marry a Ukrainian woman, they are amazing people doing impossible things and I salute every single person who is doing the impossible in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thank you for your support. You can still help by supporting charity foundations (like "Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation"), which do so much by helping both army and civilians: providing drones, vehicles, tactical medicine, optics, etc., for the Army and generators, supplies, etc., for de-occupied and front-line communities. You can check all the information about the foundation on their site where people can choose project/direction to support.
Metalhead crying here 🇵🇹🇪🇺 respect Ukrainian people, and as you know, the Portuguese people will always be at your side. Never give up to be free. We stand by you since 2004 and we'll always be ❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🇵🇹🇪🇺
I'm Romanian. And I am painfully aware that if it wasn't for the Ukrainians, it would be us, or the Moldovans or the Poles. Or Estonians or Lithuanians or Latvians. Or some other poor country that just can't get out of the toxic influence of Moscow.
I can't but remember my grandparents. They always always always warned me about the "Russian boot". I heard so many times during my childhood about it. I was watching stuff like "Kelly's heroes" or "Where eagles dare", which were 2 of the favorite films of my grandfather. He was Polish, and a refugee that ran from the Nazi's. He arrived in Romania. Hmmm, now that I think about it, there's more to the story than I actually know, but at the time, out of 5 family members, only he and his mother survived the war and all they had was his collection lead soldiers figurines. His wife, my grandmother, was a refugee from Basarabia. So as I was watching those movies, which they approved off, and agreed that the nazi's were terrible, they would always without a single exception also say: but the Russians were worse.
I always thought they were crazy. Now I finally understand. Hitler was a 1 time thing. Russia has been exactly the same for 300 years. Or since it's inception.
Now... other nations might not be ok with that, and again, as a Romanian, I applaud, thank and welcome the Ukrainians. There's that saying, lead, follow or get out of the way. Can't speak for my government, but I, as a single citizen, am happy to follow.
As a Ukrainian, hope you have a good time making this video, and hope subscribers will have a good time while watching, we're keep living and obviously keep fighting. Gl hf all of you
Hey from Kyiv and thank you :)
Just a couple of side notes.
This war started not a year ago, but actually in 2014 with annexation of Crimean penninsula and invasion of badgeless/ flagless russian army to Donetsk & Luhansk regions. So, well, we have it going for 9 years already. It's a full scale invasion that happened february 2022.
But this is really going on for like 300+ years.
History of red-black flag goes back to like 1940-s and it was a flag of OUN-R organisation. Now it is like a UA "battle flag". Interesting thing is that when blue-yellow flag gets covered in blood, it changes it's colors to red-black.
About destroyed russian tanks. Our MFA actually has an ongoing campaign of displaying these vehicles (well, not exactly these from Kyiv, but similiar) in a lot of European countries. Like, "russian tanks are in Prague/ Warsaw/ Vilnus/ Berlin again."
I don't know why did he cross the border by foot. Maybe for more dramatism but there are trains to/from Poland and buses to a lot of European countries Poland included.
Nothing special about photos or videos. Just don't do it on military checkpoints, don't video or photo any strategic objects, military vehicles or results of missile hits if any happen. That's it.
Well, I think that compromise should involve using red-black flag in more moderation, not as equal to current flag. There is a difference in purity of fighting practice it represents, to say it mildly.
ah yes I remember clearly how Ukrain cut off all of the electricity and water to the Crimea for months before any of "referendum" happened.
and of course all of those rpg shooters that fired towards villages without aiming for shits and giggles and puttng it on the internet - they for some reason were not sent into prison as a criminals even tho those morans were not hiding at all. and some ukranians even praise them like heros wow
I don't like the war. I would like it to never happened and goverment and news annoy me when ot comes to this topic
but stop acting like Russia all evil and Ukrain all pure white ship with the halo above heir heads 😑
On the subject of displaying destroyed Russian tanks, I saw a while back that you guys sent one to Germany, who then put it on display outside the Russian embassy (this was shortly after Putin (or his media) making comments about the 'special military operation' only ending when Russian tanks reach Berlin).
stay strong we are behind you!!!
@@Lim0n41k типовий рузький прокинувся затирати русняву пропаганду. іди звідси у своє болото
Its ok. Im vrying too. I have a friend who lives in Lviv. He showed me a video from New Years Eve of him and all his neighbors in an underground bomb ahelter....and the were all swaying and singing. Yes these people are amazing and so brave!
Ukrainians are some of the strongest, and most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I hope one day I will get to go to Ukraine. I hope my country the USA will keep sending money and weapons so the Ukrainians can beat the Russians off of Ukraine’s land. Also it wouldn’t bother me if they push Russia’s borders back so they cant bomb Ukraine anymore. But I really enjoyed your reaction and can’t wait to see more. Also to all Ukrainians we support you and we are all praying for you to get victory and return home safe.
THX
Thank you so much for these words, it means a lot for us. I am and I'm pretty sure, all of us, really very thankful for your help and support 💛💙 with love from Ukraine ♥️

Secondly, thar ifdurring lessons the air alarm is began, we need to go to the baswment, and continue lessons there. At some dates we have online lessons becouse of these dates are really important for Ukraine, and russia can bomb harder.
in fact it is very difficult for me to write all this, and I would be happy to chat with you, or I can record a small video ;-;
if possible i would be very happy to talk with you!! in fact, this is the first video of yours that I have seen, but I want people not to forget about the war. I hope you will notice me;-;
sorry if i have some mistakes ;-;
Stay strong, heroic Ukraine! Wishing victory, luck and success to all Ukrainians!
Good video, i am from the south Europe. I know a lot of ppl from Ukraine. I hoop the war is over, so i can visit Ukraine.!!! Slava Ukraine, love you ❤.
damn.. Im tearing up at so many moments ... I hope I can visit ukraine when all this is over and be a nice tourist or whatever. :/
Kyiv and Lviv are safe now. Writing this from hotel in Kyiv.
Absolutely, Ukraine will need help rebuilding and tourist $$$ is a very good way to help
After Ukraine's victory, we invite everyone to come and celebrate the victory together!🙂
Thank you from Sweden. Slava Ukraini ❤🤙
Героям слава! / Heroyam slava! (Glory to the heroes!)
Thank you for telling the world about Ukraine! 💛💙
I've been thoroughly heartbroken (rather heartsmashed) since that date, 24th February 2022.
Way back in 1976 I learned Russian (for learning Ukrainian I guess I'd have to go to the then SU, although at least I know who the Ukrainian Liudmila Pavlichenko was)
I do love Eastern Slavic culture, you know, and because those languages are so phonetic like my language (Spanish) it was not that difficult. And if you can read Russian, you can easily read Ukrainian (And Belarusian and Bulgarian, kind of).
"Schedryk" (Carol of the bells); "Moonlight night" (a most romantic Ukrainian song), "Ey Sokoly" (the beautiful Polish-Ukrainian Cossack song). And, of course chorus lile the glorious Bulgarian women-bases choruses; and, of course, many Russian songs, including the Romani ones ("Ochie Chiorny", for example). I used loved Netrebko, the Russian soprano. I used to...
And I love track and field and watched, even in 2021, the female high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh and her then-amiable competition with Russian Mariya Lasitskene. In the Olympics they even shared the podium. Yaroslava was heavily criticized and I could not understand why. Blame on me.Now I get it.
On that fateful date, wh-who-will-not-name started the invasion. I can't curse him, especially, him, enough, his idiotic and criminal irredentism and Moscow's "patriarch", too (I watched how Catholic and Orthodox Christians in Ukraine are united now, that alone made me cry)
Yaroslava had to flee Ukraine by car, for three days for a competition in Krakow. And after that, she WON. Later the news. Another Ukrainian male athlete, killed in the war.
Olga Smirnova (ballet dancer), who was then in the Netherlands denounced the invasion. She danced both for the Bolshoi and the main Dutch company, she has Ukrainian family. She's now dancing in the Netherlands.
For the next days I seed to watch both Ukrainian music (like the abovementioned songs) and just after that, almost on purpose, my beloved Tschaikovsky. And every single day, for months that always got tears to my eyes (gosh, even now).
The tyrant has destroyed so many lives, so many.
And just for the record. "Slava Ukraini". I hope, I know that Ukraine will win this. Every single son and daughter of Ukraine deserve just that.
With a thoroughly broken heart, I write this.
P.S: I'm 66 yo now. I hope that somehow I can visit Kyiv, and Lviv in a more "normal" manner. We will see.
P.P.S: thie guy; I'm so grateful to him. Well done!.
I was a bit afraid to see a video about Ukrania, but I need to give a Big applause to Geography now. The most important thing is people, and they focused on them, bravo
Have been watching a few reaction videos and was never sure if I should subscribe to your channel. After having watched this video tho, one subscriber more gained.. nothing fake about you, just true emotions. Ukrainians are an amazing people, stay strong my brothers and sisters! Lots of love from Germany! 💛💙
There are trains (Ukrainian trains) going from Polish city called Przemyśl to some Ukrainian cities (Kyiv, L'viv). There are busses going through the border. Cars. You can use your own car. On top of that you can cross by walk.
Hail Heidi! 😁 My family is from the Ukraine, but I was born and raised in Germany. ALL I KNEW were red/brown squirrels. When I moved to NYC in 1992, I saw the gray squirrels the first time and I was actually concerned that those were sick! Had some sort of illness because they lost their reddish/brown fur.
LOL I love that! 😂
As a Ukrainian I want to say thank you for everyone who are supporting us in any country across the world - USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Baltic countries, Suomi and many many more, the list will be super long. We love you💙💛. BTW - ukrainians are one of the most hospitable nations in the world ( you can see it in our kitchen in the video 😁) so after the great victory against the most terroristic counrty in the world - we'll be super glad if you come to visit us eating tons of Borsch and drinking rivers of horilka, trust me, we know how to celebrate.
Like many others are saying, I really do hope to visit Ukraine in the not-too-distant future. I think you will find lots of people from all over the world (including here in the US) happy to spend their tourism dollars helping replenish the Ukrainian economy. 💙💛
@@ashleydixon4613 I really hope too. Dollars are good, but more expensive is great people ♥️
@@acdcmeter I’ve always thought it would be a nice place to visit, and now Mr. Putin and his “friends” have only given many people including myself more reason to visit Ukraine (and not visit Russia)! Seems like it would be a lovely place if it weren’t for what Russia is trying to do at the moment, and I think in general the Ukrainian people are wonderful.
Frankly, if it weren’t for chronic health problems, as well as having to care for both of my elderly parents right now, I might have easily ended up volunteering to go help in whatever way I can. (Of course I have donated money every month since the war started, but I would get personally involved-travel there to help-if I didn’t already have two elderly parents with dementia who have to be cared for.
Slava Ukraini.
Thank you for this video! ❤I hope that you will definitely visit Ukraine, after the war is over! Greetings from Lviv!
In my city in Germany, we have many war refugees from Ukraine. There is little Irina who found refuge here with her mother and her aunt. I regularly go shopping with the little girl, and she always tells me proudly that her cousin is fighting for Ukraine. Unfortunately, I know from her mother that her beloved cousin was killed 3 months ago. I have no idea how to teach a child something like that. Think her mother should do that. What I want to say is: I think it's good that you also address unpleasant topics, because such are also part of life. Thank you for that. Slava Ukraini
😢💜🇺🇦
Thanks for making this reaction, thanks for sharing, and thanks for your compassion!
Enjoyed it much!
Greetings from Kyiv :)
P.S. Agree with Mr. Klopotenko, We will hug everyone who comes to us as a friend, always do this :)

One of the guys he interviews, Taras Topolia, is the vocalist of Antytila who have made Bakhmut Fortress. You really should check that out, it also have english subtitles
And the Ukrainian version of Two step of Ed Sheridan
Thank you for your reaction and your kind words, it really means alot to us❤
Are you planning to post on youtube your reaction to this episode of geography now? It would be very interesting to see
I'm from Ukraine. Thanks to the American and European people for your help! Your weapons help us a lot, it save many civilian lives!
Lack of lights in Kyiv isn't due to lack of electricity, but to make it harder to spot and hit targets of value. Basically it's a precaution if russian aviation decides to strike kyiv directly they won't have it easy reaching their targets.
Also on the note of the wrecks in the city. They made a live exhibition out of them. We had the in Poland in summer 2022. I'll tell you that seeing them with your own eyes is just eerie and disturbing. I really had a trouble grasping the concept of someone dying in them.
As a Pole, I am patiently waiting for the so-called resistance flag thing to be resolved. That flag was waving when thousands of poles were massacred. Men, women, and children-also infants We should not forget that and pretend it didn't happen. As I support Ukraine with all my heart, our countries need to apologize for the atrocities that happened. Both Poland and Ukraine It's needed for a better future. Its necesery.
try googling - Alley of Angels. previously, in Poland, ukrainian nazis killed polish children, now ukrainian nazis are killing russian children. are you sure your heart is with the nazis?
Maybe just better to leave "hystory" behind? Because we never end this shit when. The red-black flag is part of history and ancestors' struggle. Poland has a lot of dark days in Ukraine's past too, so it too needs to be resolved? You should forget your ancestors too? We need just move on. And recognize that there were bad things and were good. Leave Bandera and red-black flag to Ukrainians. I don't think anyone with a decent-minded person will ever go to Poland with this flag and glorify it there. I don't think so. So we need to ask apologise to each other. And live as very good neighbours. We have a much worse enemy (which is one of the reasons for past problems btw :)) on the east... Cześć!
As Ukrainian I want to answer. Firstly what happened to polish people makes me sad and I don’t support murder of innocent people. But this flag was used long before that event (repins Cossacks for example which was made in 1880). I understand that under this flag people were killed but the original meaning has nothing to do with it ( black is ground and red is blood of Ukrainians who died for freedom) actually if you put original Ukrainian flag in blood it becomes black and red flag. And for me this is the only meaning that this flag has. It may be triggering to see it, but people killed other people not a flag. I completely agree that during our history we had bad times (pacification for example) and we shouldn’t forget it but we live in civilised world and this happened in the past. I respect polish people and won’t ever show this flag in Poland because for them it has a different meaning.
They are amazing. They have the balls for what my country couldnt do in 1968.
Economy must work, money must move, especially during the war. So, actually most businesses continue to work unless in immediate danger, including tourist one. Tourists are warned that there war and possible danger, and if they still decide to come, there is no reason to shut the door from our side. We have nothing to hide. Except the location of our defence forces, because that can leak to the enemy.
Just spread out this knowledge. You are a influencer and you can spread this out. Let everyone know what is going on in Ukraine. You can help humanity to win.
As a Pole who tries to support Ukrainian brothers and sisters, the red and black flag evokes extreme emotions in me.
On the one hand, I understand the meaning of the flag, symbolizing the struggle for Ukrainian independence.
On the other hand, I can't stop thinking of it as the OUN-R flag, the Bandera flag.
History should be left to historians, but it's so hard to get rid of this strange feeling looking at this flag.
Flag literally stands for blood and soil.
@@konstantinkelekhsaev302 And swastika is an ancient hindu symbol of happiness. Red and black flag belongs to UPA, nationalistic organisation with blood on its hands.
@@boskee The hands of the soldiers of the UIA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) are stained only with the blood of Russian fascists, who not only exterminated Ukrainians but also Poles. Any suggestion that the UIA also killed civilians is nothing but Russian propaganda. Similarly, the claim that Ukrainians bombed Donbas for 8 years is baseless and a part of Russian lies, as they are known to be deceitful, violent, and looters.
If you have studied history, you know what crimes the Poles committed against Ukrainians in the past. that is why this flag is important for Ukrainians. it is a sign of our defiance against all empires. Ukrainians have been fighting for their right to exist throughout their history.
@@vstan5181 Imagine that I know history (I graduated from military studies at the history department of the university in Wrocław).
Please read my post carefully.
And I will not write about the crimes committed against Ukrainians.
Because I would also have to write about crimes committed by Ukrainians.
I'm not going to get sucked into this stupid game.
23:30 It's not just about saving energy, but Kiev is heavily attacked by Russia with missile strikes. Many of these rockets have heat homing. What is lit is almost always warmed up. Keeping it off (e.g. bridge) reduces the chances of being hit and destroyed.
Two years ago I knew next to nothing about Ukraine. I did watch a Ukrainian channel on youtube called Vadim in the Wild. He makes videos about self sufficency and camping in the forest, catching fish etc. When the war broke out he had to get his wife and daughter to safety and they went to Ireland. I don't know if he has even seen them since. He said he would not be able to make regular videos like before but he occasionally still posts one and replies to comments. It is terribly nerve wracking when we haven't heard from him for a while. Is he still ok etc? I so much wanted to take in a Ukrainian refugee and make them safe here in Scotland at my house but had some problems which prevented me. But what I do know is the Ukrainians are the bravest strongest people in the world and Zelensky is a great leader. How ironic he played the president on tv and then became it for real. The Ukrainians will never give in and never lose. The coward Putin thought his tanks would roll in and crush Ukraine quickly but his tanks and his orcs were destroyed as fast as they arrived. Ukrainians are tough as prison bricks and coffin nails and they will fight to the last man and woman before they bend the knee. Slava Ukraini, slava Zelenky, heroyam slava. We stand with you.
Also very important. Ukraine into Nato, as quickly as possible.
That was quite moving. Thank you, Heidi❤
as a Croat, I have a similar experience to Ukrainians, that's why I signed up as a volunteer for the defense of Ukraine. Slava Ukrayini. AZOV

Wow this was tough to watch, I had tears in my eyes. Love is all I can give, from Sweden.
Swede here, my partner was born in Luhansk, Ukraine, and was forced to flee when the "Little green men" stirred things around in the Donbas region. Luckily for me, her mom had moved to Sweden quite a while before that, so it was easy for her to follow in her mom's footsteps.
So I've been to the Donbas region multiple times before 2004, a beautiful place with lovely people and no hostilities until forces outside Ukraine (Russian stupidity) decided to flip things around.
Thank you so much! Love from Ukraine)))
My aunt went to Ukraine by car, so you definitely can enter the country that way.
PS: I live in Germany and still today from time to time undetonated bombs, dating back to WW2, are found.
The main battle is currently taking place in Bakhmut. The Russians have been trying to take control of the city for over 6 months. The city is one big slaughterhouse, I can't imagine how badly it must smell of decay from the corpses that can't be taken away.
I dated a Ukrainian girl for a while. We visited both Kiev and Lviv, but I was not allowed to visit Donbas, where her parents lived. I noticed that it was a great sadness for her. Shortly after the war started she enlisted and I haven't heard anything since.
🥺🫂
I dated a girl from Boryspil Ukraine which is outside of Kyiv. Havnt heard from her since December of last year
@@zankou5611 Of course, it does not have to mean that something bad has occurred, they often have a duty of confidentiality.
I am from the front-line city of Zaporizhzhia, approximately 80% of our region is occupied, my city (regional center) is very close to the front line.Missiles are constantly flying towards us, the alarm signal that we have in the application on the smartphone unfortunately does not save us, because it often happens that the alarm is triggered after the arrival of missiles ((((
There is nowhere to hide if you don't live in the center of the city (that's why people are used to simply hiding in houses in rooms that are central (at least 2 walls) or corridors.
From the explosions, when the windows fly out very close and the sound is unbearable, even when wearing headphones, the membranes of the drums can barely withstand, after the rockets hit somewhere nearby, the noise remains in the head for a long time and ringing in the ears.
But what gives me the strength to hold on is faith, justice and our victory!
And the words of my history teacher back in my school years: if you feel bad, think, maybe someone in this world has it worse.
Indeed, I think that missiles are coming to us, but there are small cities of Ukraine that are even closer or are the front line.
Therefore, if someone you know is sick, lacks money or is simply not satisfied with their life, remind them of these words and about the war in Ukraine, let them think and start appreciating life in such a way what it is! 🇺🇦💛💙
I hate that war still exists/happens. But respect for the Ukrainian people, and also Barbs, for carrying on in the face of it.
I appreciate both his video and your reaction to it.
Respect to the Russian people too. Not the corrupt government carrying out this war, but the civilians have undergone horrible things too. Never forget the innocents affected by war.
@@noahjones4237 respect for what? Quantity of people who protest against war or help ukrainian side is really small. Majority is not better than living stock, they just agreed with current regime, more over - there are people who think that it's Russia who was attacked, and they support this damn war. Russian as nation have failed.
@@ANIManiak89 Or they've just been propagated to by a corrupt government that they're in the right this entire time. It's crazy how much a little psychological manipulation can do to a nation. Like the US government somehow convincing us taxpayers not to revolt when they willingly send 45+ billion taxpayer dollars to support a war that we shouldn't be involved in. The governments on BOTH sides of that conflict are horribly corrupt. NEITHER deserve pity or sympathy. The innocents involved however? They absolutely do.
Also as if Ukraine as a nation didn't fail long before with rife corruption just as bad as Russia's don't make me laugh.
An amazing video with an amazing reaction. It's hard to see how real this war is and how the people continue to live their inspite of the war going on. You are not the only one who was crying. Sending my love to the people of Ukraine. Ps: Your hair looks ok i guess.... jk xD. It looks wonderful! Keep doing what you are doing and stay the way you are! ❤
Hello from Ukraine! U can move to Ukraine to any types of transport exclude air)
Of course, I cannot recommend coming to Ukraine now, but not everything is as dangerous as you imagine. Schools and kindergartens are open. High-ranking officials and presidents come to the meeting. The west of the country is as safe as possible. The central part of Ukraine as well, but sirens sound much more often there.
But... I think that not all people in their entire lives will have at least a chance to visit a country where the biggest war after World War II is going on. And what if this is the last war of this scale in the next 200 years? The emotions and feelings you can get from what you see here can change your life. At least some views on life.
Maybe if more people experience what war is, there won't be any more wars... I don't know.
Isn't the airspace closed?
Anyway, SLAVA UKRAINA - from an Albanian.
Thank you, Heidi, for reaction!
Thanks for your reaction! Many blessings to you and your loved ones
You're such a kind, charming, lovely and compassionate person. Watching your reaction was inspiring in itself. Your friends are lucky to have you around. Greets from Ukraine!
Thanks for commenting on this episode and telling the story about my beautiful country…hope we gonna win soon so all the people can come here and see the beauty 💙💛
Thank you for your support. I'm Ukrainian and I live in Ukraine. I love Ukraine so much 💙💛
Nice seeing videos like this, but also sad. It feels like only things people get to know about Ukraine are the darkest parts of our history like Holodomor, Chernobyl and this war. I guess that's just because how our history goes, but hopefully there are good days ahead!
First, Snow is amazing. I might be conditioned to this view because I am Scandinavian though.
And, war. I won't to mention something very important. Something than we in the west needs to remember, and act much more on.
The general population have a way of ignoring, or forgetting these things. Even more so things we do not like to be reminded of.
Like War, not just how Russia invaded Ukraine and is commiting war crimes left and right, but many places in the world.
It easy to just fall into the same routine. But its so very important that the general population does not forget. Its important they watch videos like this. And worse.
Its important they are reminded and see the horror. As bad as this video is, its still very mild to what is going on because of Russia's invasion. Or again what is going on elsewhere in the world.
Its important people not just read about it, because so many lies are spread. But take a look of photos, and videos of these places.
Have people see it, because words you can just push aside, or make a dumb comment about what ever random Right wing or Russian propaganda you read.
But seeing the destruction, the death. That is something you have to understand as a human. And however hard it is, its really important.
its important for the people living through it. To know they are not forgotten, but also because when its seen. People want to help more.
When its ignored, and you watch your Hollywood gossip instead, then the conflict becomes stale.
The world is no longer different corners. its one thing. When the world ignore destruction, it tends to stay that way. When the world is reminded, Things tend to change.
Its really important people spend time to see these things. Also in the long run. There are so many Tin Hat media people that earn money on just saying garbage, and they have a big following.
And that means facts are forgotten, and lies become the way of life.
And that is when these issues happens. Because people do not know, and do not understand. So when they repeat the same mistakes, they do not see they step in the footprints of those who made it before.
So watch the videos. watch the destruction, feel bad, feel awful. Learn.
Propaganda is everywhere, Not just China and Russia. Its a massive issue in the US. And it leads to destruction.
Watch the hard videos. Watch the history, lest we forget.
Keep the victims alive, and keep the history presents, so you learn what steps not to follow.
I started tearing up at the same part you did. Shit hits hard. Nice react video :)
I watched some UA-cam videos of a special forces unit of Ukraine International Legion fight in Irpin back when fight was still there and it was especially haunting because the newer neighborhoods looked like any modern European city. Yes, we have a trench war in Europe, but it still hits closer to home when the scenery is something that almost could be here at home.
On foot??? Woow thats sooo coool for US citizens to se that in other countries people ACTUALY walk sometimes. :D
Slava Ukraine from Spain
😢😢😢😢Ukraine stay strong❤❤❤❤
Thanks for showing this
Great video. I’m hoping so much that this is where we draw the line and defeat Putain. The thing I hate though is that the brave men and women of Ukraine are fighting the war for us. But this man needs to be stopped at all cost, cause he won’t stop in Ukraine.
18:50 this is also the flag under which Ukrainians (UPA) killed over 100,000 Polish civilians. These events are called "Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia
Yes, he had to cross on foot. I mean, he flew to Poland, so he doesn't have his own car and I don't think anyone in Poland would lend a car knowing the car would go into a war zone.
Also, many Slovak cities and villages still have real WWII tanks on display to remember the horrors of the war. I haven't seen them anywhere else in Europe yet.
We thank the American people for their help in the fight against Nazi russia
I remember Billy Connolly talking about the Zombie. He said it gets you drunk from the ground up - you feel perfectly fine until you have to go anywhere, and then you're in trouble!
I'm sitting on the second floor of my country house and watching this video, my children and wife are sleeping on the first floor, and Shaheds are flying overhead, I can't see them - it's night now, I can only see anti-aircraft tracers and hear the air alarm sounding
I think that the reason Ukraine is still allowing "tourism" is for those that want to join the volunteer forces
Edit: I had no idea he knew commonwealth realm! That's awesome!
Edit of an edit: they don't want video or pictures taken of Ukraine forces because it can be used (if posted online) for opposition forces to figure out the military strength of a region
Just wanted to note that crossing the border on foot is not obligatory - you can do it by car, bus or train, depending on your needs and where you are travelling from. It's just that he didn't have a car to cross the border with, and that's it.
thank you from Ukraine. You are incredible. God bless you and your family.
6:47 I could tell the same about the dark squirrels I saw in canada haha. every squirrel was black or dark brown. and here in germany theyre all in red/rust colors. easy to lure them with nuts to you and they climb around :)
I've read that the black squirrels are way more aggressive. That's why they tend to replace and kind of suffocate any red squirrel populations if they manage to spread into their area.
They grey squirrel is slightly bigger and stronger than the red squirrel, so it can gather more food, and that typically drives the red squirrels away. On the other hand, that extra size also gets it into trouble. The red squirrel can sit on thin branches that a pine marten cannot reach, but the grey squirrel can't. So if there are pine martens the grey squirrel will typically be out-competed by the red squirrel, if there are no pine martensthe grey squirrel will be invasive and out-compete the red one.
I don't think the Ukrainian people will ever again let themselves be ruled by Moscow.
Despite the difficult situation, I feel such strength in people.
They have chosen to be free Europeans and not slaves of the Kremlin.
Ukrainians have understood that after so many years of oppression, now there is a door to independence.
And in doing so, they tie in with the earlier freedom fighters who fought against Poland, Austria, Nazis and above all Russia.
Ukrainians have nothing to lose but their freedom.
Borshtsh is very delicious
23:25 The light are out to make it for the ruzzians harder to identify potential targets.
BTW. No need to feel embarrassed because you cry because of a video. It makes you very sympatic 😊
Thank you for your reaction and support of Ukraine!
Thanks for your reactions ♥️ Hello from Kyiv 🇺🇦
Thank you for the video, sweetheart!
Im so glad you to see it all, Glad you to like our Ukrainians!!! Thanks and do not forget!!!!
As Americans we've never really known what it's like to have to fight for the very survival of our nation, at least not for the last several generations. Many other nations do, Ukraine more so than most.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Yep,you only know how to kill people in Iraq and Afghanistan
Think about it they want to share their culture and have themselevs filmed by foreign visitors in case they get overrolled by the behemoth and their culture wiped out and lost forever.
They must not lose the conflict, their unique culture deserves to exist.
Ця земля воїнів родить! (с)
Слава Україні!
This land will give birth to warriors! (с)
Glory to Ukraine!
Thank you very much and to everyone who is not afraid to attend events as they are. I honestly don’t even know what to say. with love from Kyiv :)
10:00 The better skin health is likely due to healthier, more natural food. Also less sun, so skin ages slower.
Fun fact, the light skin of many Europeans is due to a transparent epidermis for better light absorption for Vitamin D synthesis. The white is actually from the underlying fat layer.
Dear Heidii - love your reaction to the Ukraine video. You should se some of the videos from Anna from Ukraine. You do not need to react to them, but we all need to know more about Ukraine. Tanks for your own videos.
you young ladie are so sweet and sensitive, greetings from Croatia, more precisely Zagreb. I know you are not religious, but God bless you and give you all the happiness and prosperity. and I hope you don't think I'm weird but I'm really not
Whale....veal....basically the same animal. 😁
Ooooooh yep misheard that one. 🤣
as a Ukrainian I want to thank you for this video! Also, I want to thank you for your support - it's very important for us, you can't even imagine how important it is for us. Regarding what you said, all Ukrainians are beautiful - so you are Ukrainian too as I see, check your family roots :)
Литва, Каунас - бажаємо українським сестрам і братам перемоги над орками. Слава Україні!!! 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Lietuva.Kaunas 1000k❤️❤️❤️ Ukraine
He should be a foreign correspondent, he has come so far.
I'm Ukrainian from the South, or more even South-East 50km (30ml) away from the frontline and 30km (19ml) away from ZNPP the biggest in Europe, and one of the biggest in the world nuclear power plants. Live close to historical sightseeing and a hydropower plant and dam that was designed by American engineer and ordered by soviet government and has been built in 1927-1932 and now throwing water in amounts I witnessed for a first time in my life despite the winter was not so snowy at all. Have a friend from Seattle who did not leave like others do, and was almost hit in a day missile strike (neighbouring apartments was damaged block), myself experienced missile hit few street blocks away.
Now black humour is an answer for almost everything.
Russian vehicles I usually see as a captured ones
Ah, and almost forgot. The red squirrels are original European squirrels they are classics, North American gray squirrel are different species that evolve differently from European. There were squirrels around my apartment block building, but I haven't seen them since the invasion started maybe they frightened of expressions around. And there were crows nests on the trees. In someway they love to build nests around roads in countryside, and they are usually fly in the morning and in the evening to and out of city dumps in a huge live clouds.
Oh, just saw a fluffy squirrel, she ran on land. She was too fast to take a photo. That was first time since invasion started
thanks for the video you are awesome
I'm from Kraków ! :) Great reaction
why eastern european skin looks good, no vegans, no chemical eaters, just pure meat, pure veggies in a mix.
