  • I've actually been through about a dozen or more of these Russian Missile and Iranian drone attacks here in Kyiv during this past year, but this past week has been really intense, and for the first time, I was able to capture on film what it was like. Most attacks happen at night in the dark, but this was during the middle of the day.

    As a Ukrainian I am pretty tired of some sleepless nights but it's nothing in comparison that our soldiers experience on the frontlines that's why I cannot complain.

    Please do not share the air defense positions online. It forces them to constantly change their location. Even several days after an attack, it is not recommended to do so. Do not stand near a window during an attack - even if the explosion is not very close, you can be injured by the shockwave and shattered glass. And stay safe! Today or tomorrow, within the next few days for sure, another massive attack is predicted, possibly a combined one with rockets and drones. Take care!

    I don't understand people who say that "dehumanizing all Russians is bad" how you can treat them as people when, after you have thoughts about "good Russians," your house shakes at night and you hear explosions almost outside your window over and over again (best scenario) and Russians can only say "oof, hope you good, but damn why I cant buy iphone that's so unfair".
    Some people were so outraged by the jokes about the Russian who was eaten by a shark, although perhaps if this Russian had something to feel sorry for, he would be sitting in Russia and defending his rights first at the first place, and not frying his ass under the sun in Egypt.
    Just my thoughts.

    Thank you for making this in depth insight into daily life in Kyiv, with such sensitivity and heartfelt feeling, Johnny, thank you so much. It *needs* to be seen by as many as possible, just for a taste of what some fools call "normal" life in Ukraine!!! It is the reality of living in Ukraine right now and we none of us should look away. My heart so feels for the soldiers who are on all levels in this horrific war. I'm next generation but my Dad was in his own war, and I, as many do, grew up with the fallout from what he went through in battle. It's strange how some stuff passes down to us that we simply don't understand until we are adults... Seeing this I remember as a child being pushed down onto the floor by Dad, if there were sudden loud/close thunderclaps. Your video here made me feel Dad's trauma a little, but on the frontlines, you can imagine, this is magnified and constant. My prayers are with Ukraine, always, and with the soldiers who are *all* defending everyone in Ukraine. I pray for the calmness to never leave any of you there.
    Yes, I agree with those amazing people and join in their message to putin and his russia!

      I’m sure it’s Russia too. I would probably react the same exact way tho. I wouldn’t want a bunch of thugs walking up to the fence of my property and setting up turrets and such that can reach the center of my home. That’s essentially what NATO/OTAN has done against Putin and the Russian people. This could’ve been avoided thru reason and logic and yet morons will always be morons.
      In 2014 something happened with their “elections” allowing a power shift right? Also anyone that can look into the AZOV battalion can show you they’re race ists and nationalists. Why does the AZOV hold more than half the military power? That would be equivalent to the K K K being more than half of the US military. Putin has said he is chasing out the Notsees (misspells intentional) and the AZOV is full of them. It’s amazing to watch the propaganda work before my very eyes.

    Seeing you walk up those stairs, not run, or even hurry, but walk calmly, then pause, and wait for that older woman, which clearly reassured her, all during an attack was remarkable. You are an excellent man Johnny, and I think that was exemplary. You have my respect and love all the more for it.
    On another darker note... A man rented and drove a U-Haul down a block I walk down every day here in Brooklyn, NY a few months back and killed someone, paralyzed another, and injured half a dozen more... Choosing to live your life, even in the face of death, as long as you are free is incredibly virtuous, it makes you truly brave, and "based af", as the kids these days would say. However, it also is as I understand your position incredibly privileged, and that man struck in that deadly van attack had a family of four... you can be unlucky anywhere, but we also make our own luck sometimes too, especially concerning foxholes, and I respect you for choosing to stay and what consequences come with that decision.
    I have been watching your videos for an eternity now, I really have come to love you, which is kinda funny. I think you have a lot of live for, I wish you a bright future, and I wish you only the best.

No confidence in the future, but hate, blind hate to russian invaders (katzaps, as we call them). If you hear sound of explosion all day long ( some loud, some no) you learn live with it and the fear of being killed is getting down day to day.

It took about 14 minutes for records to show it and interestingly the epicenter was 4 km from me. It was a nasty freaking sound with 3.1 scale. Now I'm kinda frozen not knowing what to do. Ukrainian people are experiencing similar things but much worse on daily basis. Slava to Ukraine
