🙏... MIKE
There are still angels 👼
Thank you!!! Polônia 🇵🇱
Thank you Andrea
God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦UK🇬🇧Poland🇵🇱 Thank you Mike and all People involved in helping.
🙏... MIKE
Thank you Mike. This is what making a difference looks like. Financial and material assistance means very little if there aren't people helping put it to use where it matters. Here in Finland we have a lot of workers and families from Russia, plus tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees. If I could provide one bit of thought that would make my little difference, it would be to for people to remember that the Russian people are not the same thing as the Russian state. The way through is always going to be with the people.
I couldn't agree more. I have Russian friends who get so much hate directed at them from around the world as they risk their lives denouncing their country's actions. ... MIKE🙏😊
If every day people kept it in their hearts and minds just to do one simple effortless thing that raised the spirits of another than spend endless effort to crush it, the world would be a very different place. You're carrying the effort of a thousand good people with your humanist charitability Mike, thank you. Truly, thank you.
"Leave it to the Poles. For them, nothing is impossible." - Napoleon Bonaparte
Indeed. The Polish people are wonderful, now and in the past.
Viva Polônia!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏
Great people with a big heart. Thank you on behalf of Ukraine, but also Poland, for which this is a huge challenge of 2.5 million refugees in 1 month, but Poles have empathy. Everyone has a roof over their heads, warmth and meals
The Polish people are heros in my eyes. And have been for many years ... MIKE🙏
Countries like Poland first have Heart, then reason. Countries like France and Germany have their reason first, then their heart.
I am proud of my country 🇵🇱 I hope that the Ukrainians will find safety with us.🇵🇱🇺🇦❤️
And of course I thank the volunteers from all over the world. 🌍❤️
The Polish people are awesome. 🙏... MIKE
In Poland we say "guests from Ukraine"
I love that kunojaga. It sums up the Polish people perfectly. 🙏... MIKE
I’m so bless seeing a lot of people helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️😊
🙏... MIKE
Mike, thank you so much for your help. I see how it hurts you to experience such an unnatural disaster and understand what it really means to be a refugee. Exposing it helps us, Ukrainians, know that we are not alone.
🙏😢... MIKE
and we stand with Ukraine❤!
♥️
I’ve been following your channel for quite some years now Mike, but seeing what you did now made me shed some tears. There is so much news around that it’s sometimes easy to forget that there are places like this full of displaced people. But seeing this makes it very very real. I am in awe. You are a great man doing this, and I will donate where I can.
... MIKE🙏😊
Any humanitarian help for the Palestinians?
I can see your emotion....thanks for your help! 🇵🇱❤️🇺🇦❤️🇬🇧
🙏... MIKE
God bless you Mike, man that must have been so hard. I don’t think I could have kept it together. Brought tears to my eyes like nothing else. I am nearly 70 struggling with health but wish I could help. Well done to all the volunteers with big hearts like you. 🙏🏻👍🏻
🙏😢... MIKE
Your great compassion Mike speaks volumes about your humanity. True human
🙏... MIKE
As I’m watching this from the other side of the world, your video has given me a closer insight to sadness of those lovely people who have had to flee their homes and country, I am lost for words my heart goes out to each and everyone of them . Your lovely man Mike.
🙏... MIKE
When people see so much misfortune at once, no strong tears fall. Tears are the soul of the heart. Great report, Mike
🙏... MIKE
하루 빨리 평화 잘되기를 기원합니다🙏🙏🙏🇰🇷
My God! what a sobering 20 minute video that was. I felt like crying when I saw what you saw. Awesome work by so many kind people from all over the World. Like you say Mike, the worst brings out the best. I just feel so so sad looking at the victims in all of this. I really don’t think I could have gone into that room. I would just be a blubbering mess! I commend each and everyone who is out there helping. Well done all. Wonderful people. I pray that this horrible war ends soon.
🙏... MIKE
It was realy a great pleasure to meet you at Medyka. The next medical stuff will soon be on its way to Medyka. See you. Mike keep going
You too Volker. Never thought I'd one day be comforting a big German firefighter with a hug. You and Tobi are awesome. love you guys. Hope to see you again somewhere down the line 🙏... MIKE
Mike, as someone who was a BBC reporter for many years I have to say you have great skills as an interviewer, whether in the horrors of that refugee centre or in lighter times interviewing photographers. You are a nice guy with you heart on your sleeve and that creates real empathy. You also let people tell their story which is a skill others sometimes don't get! Richard
Wow thank you Richard Wright
Richard Wright . I really apprieciate that because when I look at this video (and others I made) I think I'm a all over the place. You've made me feel more confident for the return we have planned end of next week.. ... MIKE🙏
Thanks Mike for everything you have done here. It is a documentary that put tears in my eyes and at the same time it made me feel happy to see these volunteers helping the poor people that fled the violence in Ukraine. It is important to show these images so that the world doesn't forget.
Thank you Jeroen. It's also important the world remembers that this is just one instance of war and blameless people suffering. The media attentention is bringing it to people's attention and hoepfully that'll remember Romania has a massive influx of people. War in Syria, Jordan and so many more is and has been making more misery for years.. 🙏... MIKE
@@MikeBrowne Not to forget the Malaysian civilian airliner that was blown up over Ukraine -- Putin has so much blood on his hands.
After Hitler the world said "never again" until the next time....
Bless you all for your hard work. love from Australia X
What a touching video and heartbreaking to see such tragedy perpetuated by foolish, childish "leaders." Those people deserve better. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Frank. It's so very sad to see what these people are going through... MIKE
Thank you. There is a special place in Heaven for people like you.
🙏... MIKE
Thank you to all the people who are helping Ukrainians in Poland! Chapeaux bas to you!
As to the author: it was cringe to watch you wasting precioust time of that wonderful, Ukrainian translator just to make her stood there and listen to your emotional remarks. She knows, she's there, it's not about you or your feelings. Respect others people's time, ffs!
Hi @nikka00. Why do you think this vid's about me or that I was wasting her time? ... MIKE
I appreciate that Mike is addressing people watching this: people who may help/have helped/may help again, and he is educating them. These people being interviewed want the world to know what is happening.
If Mike is emotional, that's because he is human. He is not a trained journalist (as far as I know) used to dealing with traumatic scenes.
Simple. Through tragedy comes TRIUMPH and you've showed that human love is boundless. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Donation given.
Thank you Paul 🙏... MIKE
Thanks Mike, I have been following you for quite some time now and always thought you were great. Now you just got greater, just like all the people you interviewed and the many others we are not able to see, that give up their every day, normal life, to aid these poor people that have had their lives tragically change from one day to another and even if the war ends tomorrow, which we all hope, it will never be the same for them again. Bless you all and extra blessings to the Ukraine population.
🙏... MIKE
It was a pleasure to meet you at the boarder and help as good as possible. See you soon!
Likewise Tobi. Love you and Volker and the work you're doing. Hope our paths cross agin soon.🙏... MIKE
Your important passionate documentary has value that will transcend the ages. Thank you!
🙏... MIKE
Dear Mr. Browne, thank you very much for spreading your kindness around the world and sharing emotions through your amazing videos.😊 Besides being a professional photographer you are extraordinary human being. Take care of yourself and stay healthy, continue doing of what you are doing as long as you can. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Thank you Keto. The Polish people are heros, taking refugees into their own homes, hotels giving free rooms etc. I cannot tell you how moved and inspired I am by Poland. 🙏... MIKE
@@MikeBrowne Thank you very much in behalf of all Poles. Everyone in Poland do what they can, from donations of money, delivery of grocery products to collective points, helping in transportation of refugees from the border, right up to accepting refugees into their homes and helping from the deeps of their hearts. Have a wonderful weekend dear Mr. Browne 😊 See you next time!
thanks guys for help and heart love from Poland
🙏... MIKE
Words fail me Mike. God bless you all.
🙏... MIKE
Beautiful ppl thank You for big heart, empathy n support❤️
🙏... MIKE
You've got big heart Mike.
Thank you kam266
Thank you for giving of yourself and the commitment of your fellow countrymen to aid these precious people. This evil will be smothered by the love that will be born of compassion and sensitivity for all those that had to flee Ukraine. Wishing you success in getting their story to the outside world. May God's blessings cradle your endeavor.
🙏... MIKE
Like you said mike there is a bigger story to tell, but in the time you were there and this video has shown how people from around the world have pulled together to help people in time of need.
Hats off to all of them and you for showing we do care, good job and respect to the team.
... MIKE🙏😊
Powerful and moving, Mike. Thank you for sharing your experience there and the hearts of those who are working for the good. God Bless!

🙏 ... MIKE
Thanks for posting this! Good luck to all the Ukrainian people and yourself! Be strong! God Bess!
🙏😢... MIKE
Thank You Mike for what You are doing! From my and my wife's experience at the border: Laughter is a weapon against cruel reality. We actually did laugh and smile there a lot. God bless You.
Thanks Tomasz. I get it. There were a lot of laughs too, but unfortunately not when the camera was rolling. Hopefully I can show that when I go back for a few days end of next week... ... MIKE🙏😊
God bless you all. God heal the world.
... MIKE🙏
❤❤❤you have a beautiful soul❤❤❤

🙏... MIKE
Mike, you are a wonderful, wonderful person. Thank you for sharing your experience and telling the story of what’s happening.
🙏... MIKE
This made my eyes fill too Mike. It makes it all so real when people like you go there and tell us how it is, right from the heart. Power to you and the people that you met. Thanks Mike.
🙏... MIKE

... MIKE🙏😊
Thank You Mike.
You are made reeealy god job too.
Thank you 🙏
Makes , you believe in angels.
Freedom and security is a basic right that every human should have, it's so so sad that other humans feel it's ok to inflict this upon their own kind. Thank goodness the majority are good people. I can see how tough that was for you to witness Mike....well done fella 👍
... MIKE🙏😊
Keep up the good work Mike. Thank You for doing this.
🙏... MIKE

Thanks ... MIKE🙏😊
Thank you
... MIKE🙏😊
Thanks Mike for sharing your experience with great comments...I still can't believe that the world is allowing this war to happen after what happened in WW2...I am 78 yrs old and the world is once again being torn apart by a country (Russia) who went through so much in WW2...God bless you & all who are helping these refugees etc.... cheers from Australia 😀
🙏... MIKE
Mike, your raw emotion is so necessary for people to see the real effect on what is happening to the Ukrainian people - fellow human beings - in such desperate circumstances. Not all of us can do what you are physically but we can support in other ways. Money being donated helps fill in the gaps that generous people pass through to the centres. People like you, and those you have shown to us, are so important to this world that we live in. My donation has been sent to the crowdfunding website and I will continue to make regular donations.
Thank you Roger 🙏... MIKE
Mike. You are a good human. We need more like you.
🙏... MIKE
Mike nicely done. I’ve worked in some of the poorest countries in the world in Africa and Caribbean Island’s it’s amazing. I had a jib working in disaster recovery as a project manager as a specialist in rebuilding telecommunications networks. It’s amazing how the international community gathers and support.
🙏... MIKE
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
🙏... MIKE
Mike, that was more powerful than anything I've seen on mainstream TV. I freely admit I shed tears while watching. Thank you, and all those wonderful people who are helping somehow.
🙏... MIKE
Great job you done 👍 thank you
🙏... MIKE
What can I say, Mike.......🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏... MIKE
Thank you for this film.
🙏😢... MIKE
Thanks to all human and animal angels! They are the helpers!
🙏😢... MIKE
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey and introducing us to some of the other good folks you met along the way. Excellent motivation to continue supporting the displaced people in this war and their neighbors offering shelter and care.
🙏... MIKE
Mike you may have wanted to tell more story, capture more images, let the voices rise. Mate - you did it even with what feels like a feeble effort. Snippets you’ve grabbed have been enough. For those who are seeking safety - it is hope, love, care, community, it is being held when a world is falling apart. You’ve achieved really what you were hoping for. For that many can be thankful. This story is a long way from our shores in Australia, you’ve brought it closer.
Thanks for your kind words Denise 🙏
Well done Mike and please be careful but it's a shame that the media in general has forgotten about the trouble and hardship going on in Yemen, Palestine and Syria to name a few!!!!!
Thanks Stigg. I so agree with you. Many friends from Xposure have been documenting crises like this in Yemen, Palestine and Syria etc for years 🙏... MIKE
oops i should have read this stigg before i posted my comment but your spot on brother.
@@MikeBrowne True but it's just a real shame that the main stream media do not think these other conflicts or the people who are suffering there are worth air time anymore. Stay safe.
Thank you for your commitment 🙏
🙏... MIKE
Make no apologies for the tears and the technical issues. After all, I'm only sitting here watching it on 'TV' and not standing right on the edge of the abyss like you were, and they still are....
Great documentary style Mike, I suppose composition, lighting, rule of thirds... goes out the window when you capturing images and video of displaced families and amazing volunteers next to a war zone. Thank you for showing us some of what actually happening... 👍
🙏 Bokooda. I did want to make a cleaner video but planning, directing, presenting, monitoring batteries etc takes time, which we didn't have. It was chaotic, people russing from one emergency to the next - and my own emotions, especially when everything around you is in chaos... MIKE
Thank You for Your work.
... MIKE🙏😊
Mike, I cannot thank you enough for this down to earth report.
Thanks Les 🙏
Mike, you are good man.
🙏... MIKE
These people are genuine refugees and in need, its upsetting knowing that our hotels are full of economic migrants making out there refugees where our resources could help these people out a lot more if we stopped the boats from safe France and delta with that problem properly. I have made a personal donation of £500 which is all I can spare to a charity to help the Ukrainians. The people doing good to help deserve a medal for what they do.
🙏... MIKE
@@MikeBrowne Forgot to say Mike well done for helping these people and highlighting how this crisis is. Your a good man what your doing.and giving your time to help.
Mike, Thank you!
🙏... MIKE
Such a moving video. The capacity for people to to good in such a horrendous situation is amazing. It's just so that people are having to go to these lengths because of the madness we are seeing. |It's humbling to watch. If videos like this made it to main stream media, perhaps the reality of what is happening would reach more people,and 'our' government would be shamed into helping more families trying to escape the war.
🙏... MIKE
My freind and i were at that border with a 45foot trailer with 23pallets of aid last week, from Braintree essex.
🙏... MIKE
God bless you!!!
Thank You (!)
💔🥺🙏
Wonderful stuff Mike. This world can be dark so we all need to shine some light! Without it there would be no photography and no love........
🙏... MIKE
I'm trying to think of something to say but can't but .....well done Mike take care.
I know the feeling.. 🙏... MIKE
No words, just tears. Well done Mike you're amazing.
🙏... MIKE
Great video. And Mike you are also a part in that huge chain of goodiness showing World all those ppl who are behind the scene and helping with all their hearts. You are an awesome man!
🙏... MIKE
Never before have I cried watching your videos. Still, this was the one I will remember forever. Great effort from you and the other guys. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Pararazzi
Thank you so much for what you're doing may God bless you and support you.
🙏... MIKE
Brilliant stuff Mate! So glad to see everyone helping these people make the best of the situation.
... MIKE🙏😊
This is really heartbreaking. Sorry I did not see it earlier.
It broke mine @Zoe Zach, but the wonderful people I met along the way mended it again. Have you seen this video about one of them?... MIKE

We are pleased to donate for this Mike.
Thank you Michael 🙏... MIKE
I do not know how to donate and help Ukraine people form Vietnam. Love yourheart.
Thank you for thinking of them. It's heart breaking - and this is just one of many wars happening on our world. So sad. If you are in a position to help these poor people you can make a donation to the agency I worked with. They're called Ukraine Relief and I've linked their website below. ... MB
