    I visited Ukraine during all October 2023 for: 1. Curiosity 2. Three weeks' language tutoring and 3. Spend a little money to support the economy there. Wonderful people, beautiful cities and great traditional food. I will be back there to do some volunteering in 2025. The main part of Odesa was utterly stunning. Highly recommended.

      @@maxalbert8903 I have been to Kyiv and Lviv a month ago. Lviv was very calm and definitly far from dangerous. You could even walk to the polish border within 1-2 days by foot in case everything would fall apart and the orcs would break the ukrainian defense. Kyiv was also very safe but not that calm since there are air raids every night. I stayed in a Hotel that offered beds in the underground parking lot and I always slept there (minus second floor). It is more "uncomfortable" than "unsafe" if do it that way. Right now there are many blackouts of course...

      lwów/lviv was a majority polish (catholic and jewish) city...in several years, they went from 85% to less than 5% of its population. how? ukrainian nationalists murdered most of the jews in a large pogrom, and brutally genocided the jewish/czech/slovak/polish/gypsy civilians in the surrounding regions (around 100k innocent civilians killled in terrible ways, most of them polish catholics and jews). many others escaped out of fear or were later deported.
      to this day there are ukrainian nationalists who justify this or deny that it happened. it is shameful to say the least.

Обращаясь к братскому народу Белоруссию с просьбой отправить России туалеты, Александр Лукашенко сказал: "Не-а! Никак я вам наши туалеты не отдам! Как же белорусы будут тогда какать?"
      "Значит приходится отвоевать часть Украины...", товарищ Путин с грустью ответил, "Как же нам иначе иметь туалеты? Крымские туалеты тоже уже кончились, а в ЛНР и ДНР их с самого начала не было..."
      Вот и началась "специальная военная операция". Хорошая новость в том, что в Киеве много туалеты. Может быть и достаточно, чтобы удовлетворить нужды России... Ну, а если нет, тогда и в Львове туалеты приходится убрать.

    I was in Ukraine multiple times including right before the trouble started.
    I got to know the country quite well.
    Also I know a thing or two about Russia and the history around Ukraine and the whole region, including surrounding countries.
    My conclusion after my own research is that this whole conflict could have been avoided. This is not Russia fighting Ukraine or vice Versa. This is America using Ukraine as a proxy to destroy Russia. Russia has the right to defend itself. Unfortunately for to do so, it has to invade it's own neighbor.
    Ukraine used to be part of Russia. Many Russians have family and friends in Ukraine and vice versa. This is a tragedy for both countries.
    Lately America and the UK do come out admitting that they are the aggressor..... finally. I was claiming that for the longest time. Even my father who died a couple of weeks ago called me NAZI for not directly blaiming Russia for 500.000 Ukrainian families ripped apart.
    I cried during your video. What I found most striking is while you are in Kiev (9.55), you see a Landrover with a Ukrainian flag and the red and black flag on top. The Bandera flag.
    Nobody knows the meaning of this flag, nor Bandera. But this is key for understanding the conflict.
