Even in the Soviet Union English was taught in the schools of course those who learned well were recruited for the KGB, that's how my wife learned English! If everything ends well for Ukraine English may become a second language in Ukraine because we will be doing a lot of business in Ukraine and hopefully build a couple military bases there as well, a combined Ukraine/U.S. naval base would be nice too!
Johnny, my friend rents an apartment on Levoberezhna in a new building on the other side. He had this problem when there was no water at all during the power outage. But all the residents chipped in and bought a good generator, so now there’s always water.
Ukraine lacks third-party escrow companies, so when a developer starts a building, they presell flats. The developer is supposed tonuse the money collected to pay for construction, but if the money runs out before the building is finished - or the developer simply absconds with the funds - the buyers are left with nothing.
Yes, it's super risky to buy presale construction, I've been tempted a few times by glossy fliers and promises, but Luckily i've never pulled the trigger.
Bank Arkada had a banking license and finance their construction via special funds designed by government to spend money only on construction. So the question is how it’s possible that construction wasn’t done, money gone, investors fucked and government says it’s your fault. The main problem in Ukraine that government is a huge pile of horse shit that’s always the part of criminal groups to rob people. My personal opinion all those people should open cases in EU law organisations to sue against Ukraine as country. Because country is not doing nothing to prevent it, it’s a part of it, many politics raiding building companies.
Isn't this exactly what is taking place in China that has bankrupted developers? They are selling the property before even breaking ground and never finish building?
Johnny A friend of mine Chuck Holton just passed you on the train going to Kiev on the train. Well I have never met Chuck in person but I consider a lot of People my friend whom I have never met. You would love Chuck Holton and his family. They are 100% pro-Ukrainian and he likes Thailand to so look him up. He is a War correspondent and on the Internet. God Bless and take care of yourself.
Just normal people trying to live their lives. It bothers me so much given everything they are going through they are also slandered so. These kids deserve better. Thanks so much for sharing!
Johny, in this "11:12" on the right you can see the famous Ukrainian singer, frontwoman of the band Vivienne Mort - Daniela Zayushkina. Amazing! You should have talked to her, bro. She's very cool, famous, beautiful and adorable!
be safe Jhonny , Ukraine is indeed really better place i have been living there for 6 years and its more normal towards the west ❤️ i hope you all be safe cos the war is getting tensed
Hey Johnny, finally came across your channel after seeing you in a few episodes of Mr Bald's channel content. It was great to see a daily life insight into Ukraine from your perspective. The Cold and snow there looks just as harsh as in UK. I am also impressed to see the video quality and Mic audio of the gear you used to capture it all. Thanks for Sharing, absolute Unit :D
Hi Johnny, Perhaps an interesting topic for the class would be to ask the students "think about the future as if it is the present, and peace has finally arrived, what does peace look like? and would they be doing in that future state?" and let the students come up with their ideal future and describe it. What would they do during peace time? What should Ukraine as a country do differently during peace time? Peace
Yeah, those kids at school looked happy and it was great to see them having a good time and speaking English as well as Ukrainian. Wish I had learned more than one language before I got older. In New Zealand we have three official languages but only one is spoken or used most of the time. Great video thanks JFD.
@@JohnnyFD Haha..yes Johnny! Our 40 shades of green occasionally disappear under a white blanket of snow...Remember the "Wicklow Way" you walked? Those mountain tops have a covering at the mo...and the west of Ireland got several inches of snow yesterday & not just on the mountains. "Sometimes it snows in Ireland" as Prince (almost) said 🙂☘️☃️
Hi Johnny 3ys and something in the war and Ukrainian still standing because of the world are 🙏 for a strong nation that russian has mis judges, russian can kill the body but can't kill the spirit of the Ukrainian people, enjoy the snowJohnny and keep on fighting for a bless nation UKRAINE ,from the other side of the world bless snowy day Johnny ❤❤
Keep going Johnny! There are very few people as good a person as you... You should listen to your mum's advice and leave Ukraine earlier than you had planned... Like you said, what good are you doing living there at the present time... You can probably support the Ukrainian people much better from a safe country and still continue with all your help towards their VICTORY!!! 🤓
Johnny, your analysis of the war and people's reactions were spot on.... I am in Naples Florida and am 86. Yes, as a child I recall WWII. My folks lived across from Manhattan NYC on Long Island in 1943. I visited Kyiv in about 1988, along with Moscow, St Petersburg, and went swimming in the Black Sea by Odessa. I returned to Russia in 1995, Moscow only. Sadly, the USA, imho, is allowing Ukraine to fight Russia, but not win, in order to weaken Russia. Just my opinion. More Sadly, the "allies" of the USA have been shipping whatever they want through countries like Georgia.... and therefore the people in Russia have not felt the full effects of the war. I am hoping Pres Trump will simply tell "our allies" "if your products are being sold in Russia, you will not be allowed to sell in the USA, AT ALL. Imho, the effects would be hard on us here, but the people of Russia would soon know the effects of war ... no elevators, no repair parts, no this and no that. Not just higher prices for essentially black market goods ... no goods. This policy would even affect the oligarchs... no replacement parts, .... AND tell our European "allies" no visas for any Russians, AND no Russians allowed even to attend United Nation building NYC.
So true. I think small reduction in economic activity is a very small price to pay for us living in the west. Ukrainians are paying with their lives and I'm really afraid if our governments do not wake up, citizens of western countries will have to fight Russia, China and the likes to protect themselves.
This war could have been avoided if ukraine would’ve stayed neutral period. But since US is expanding its NATO military bases surrounding Russia, so Russia is saying enough is enough already. You’re old enough to remember the Warsaw Pact agreement where Russia is not moving to the west and US/NATO is not moving to the east. And that’s exactly what happened US/NATO moved not only to the east but they’re already surrounded Russia with its military bases so what makes you think that Russia is going to tolerate that? Would US tolerate if Russia and China would start to build military bases all over Mexico? The very next day Mexico would get bombed into submission!
People not directly involved in fighting or the military can't stop their lives or commerce or there would be no society for the fighters to be saving...
I have been watching you for along time I think you are amazing just how much you love Ukraine and what you do please keep it up you are an amazing human 💓💓💓💓
Johnny, Don't let the Russian trolls and the idiots of the world get to you. Ukraine has every right to defend itself. I worry about Ukraine and Israel daily. Both countries are under constant attack, much of which gets very little press coverage. I am always amazed by people who cannot grasp that we are all facing a threat from a co-ordinated effort by Russia and its fellow oppressive countries. Be safe Johnny, you are a great guy, and the Ukrainians are clearly a courageous people who deserve to live in peace. I wish I could be there and share a cup of coffee with you in that wet, miserable looking weather. Try not to slip and fall on your ass 😮, something I have done more times than I can count in winter weather.
fiber is more expensive and available mostly in new buildings. They are powering a wifi-router with a power bank and getting internet without electricity; a provider holding a connection for up to 24 hours without electricity I think
“It was crazy in Dnipro, Johnny. I never thought I would live through something like that. The people of Ukraine are incredibly strong and resilient-it’s truly inspiring to see how they endure and support one another through such difficult times.”
If those are empty threats why foreign embassies are closed and Ukrainian is on vacation all of a sudden? And you are lying when saying that Putin threatened to use nuclear weapon against AFU.
The local kids scraped most of the snow off my car today to make their snowballs. Nice of them to help me out! Thanks for the stream. Kyiv would be a winter wonderland if there wasn't some idiot flinging missiles about.
it's sad that Joe Rogan is so misinformed purposely or otherwise. Putin started WW3 when he invaded a sovereign country in Europe that was protected by the Budapest Memorandum which assured security assurances if attacked. Putin got Belarus involved, then Iran, now North Korea. Putin started WW3 2.5 years ago. Why is Rogan mad at Ukraine?
Johnny, giving it that Mister Roger's Neighborhood music at the end! I like it! 👍👍 In a way, Ukraine does has a lot of similarities to Mr. Rogers! Please, Please, no singing it on the way to school! 🤣🤣 "I would be starring out the window". I guess we could be getting burned out on school, but the kids are great! Excellent video!
@@JohnnyFD Do you really think so? Comrade, you are deeply mistaken. Russian units are advancing in Ukraine, the nuclear arsenal is on alert, and when it's too late, you will remember these words. What brainwashed people, simply unbelievable.
@@kvazimedvedababl It's no wonder what's happening, how many stupid people there are on the planet. Listen, Europeans and Americans think that a nuclear power can be defeated?
I know you dislike the cold Johnny, but if you dress for it you appreciate the snow. It is so cleansing and I enjoy how with some accumulation it brings silence……and then air alarms interrupt the tranquility 😡. Thanx for sticking around your home longer this year, you are becoming more Ukrainian and that is a good thing. Slava Ukraine.
That's a very cool idea! But I honestly don't think it's a cost issue. I got Fiber installed at my place in Kyiv for 350uah installed and 300 a month. Which is like $10 each and I use a $3 "usb to router cable" and a $15 powerbank. I think it just takes time for the word to spread on how to do it.
7:40 is what this war is all about. Having a say in what happens in your city/country/society. You can still lose the argument but the right to protest keeps things in check.
Hi johnny your hat gave me a great idea , I wonna make and sell these using my knitting machine . Donate the proceeds to Ukraine and Palistine with the Palestinian colours :) as yarn is cheap , and I have time :) do you know any other charity's in Ukraine that it would be easy to donate too , as I want people to know it's legit and not just pocketing the money.
You can make backup power supply in your apartments, it will cost you from one to two grands or so. But pay attention to hybrid invertors, the cheaper the nosier.
We got snow 2 days ago too! I really don't care for it, i should have been born somewhere with a warmer climate. I freeze all winter long, bitch and complain. 😂
Hey @JohnnyFD I’m watching the news every day, and I’m rooting for Ukraine. I know they have separated their Churches from those in Russia. Shouldn't they now do away with the Russian Cyrillik (I’m probably butchering the word) alphabet and adopt the Latin alphabet, like Poland and other Slavik nations. It would make it so much easier for tourists because though you can't speak a language, you can, in a lot of cases, understand what's written. I understand a lot of the cyrillik, but it took a long time. I assume after the war, Ukraine would want as many tourists as possible? 🇿🇦🇺🇦
Кирилиця - це наш власний алфавіт. Росія свого часу його собі теж привласнила. В Україні (Русі) алфавіт з'явився за 500 років до того ,як Москва почала їм користуватись. То ми маємо ще і алфавіт "подарувати" москалям?
It's not Russian Cyrillic, it's invented by the Bulgarians and based off of Greek. I'm tired of "Great Russia' stealing and claiming everything as their own.
Exactly. Ukraine has never used Latin alphabet. Even before russia existed. So it would be very artificial to change the alphabet. I believe there was even a public discussion about this. Ukraine should not have to get rid of its own culture just because Russian propaganda got everyone to believe its rusian.
Very beautiful. It’s crazy how we can think of the positives when things start to fall apart at times. Our mind is amazing. Those kids are smarter than our kids in the USA. Ours can speak 1 language. Those kids speak 2 and are learning early on how terrible this world can be. The snow is so beautiful there.
Can you do a video with Vita from Ukraine? Her channel is think Ukraine 🇺🇦? Johnny? ❤she’s a great woman! She’s got a great personality! She is doing everything she can for the army! I’m sorry her husband died but she has to move on at some point? Don Los Angeles California!! Can you express to her I really love her?

Wow johnny I'm neutral in this matter and I'm shocked at your behavior🤨 All do respect johnny but you've spread dus information plenty of times and I never said I'd block you if you don't stop You sound like a dictator with such a in mature response and usually ppl that respond like that are exactly what this gentlemen stated to you which is you can't handle the truth. It's OK for ppl to have a different perspective or facts an still be mature an cordial with one another whether you agree with them.or not cone on johnny man grow up Now I don't know what you said to this guy about this AJ guy but all do respect this AJ guy has been the majority of the times correct in regards to his analysis of this crisis anybody can do there own research its just many ppl don't and can't handle the facts and truths of the matter even when its being presented to them right in front of there face any ways man have a nice day ✌️

If you two don't understand how dangerous it is to spread propaganda and misinformation, I can't help you. I hope you never need to be in the shoes of a Sandy Hook victim or Ukrainian and hear it.
As long as Kyiv survived the attacks. Putin seems nervous, though. Praying for Ukraine. The storm shadow missles are doing work too. This war needs an end.🇺🇦🌻🙏🕯
Johnny, it’s not a poor district where you saw much snow. Go and see on that side what multistory buildings are standing there. Please don’t say what you don’t know about and stop deleating comments.
That area is poorer than this side of the track. I looked at renting an apartment on that side (International Exhibition Centre/станція Київ-Дніпровський) and it's much cheaper and poorer than the ЖК Галактика side. P.S. I didn't delete anything.
@ Johnny, stop misleading people. It's not a poorer area! There are expensive condos over there. Way more new buildings than on the side with the school and Galaxy complex. You should check out what complexes are on that side first. Prices vary-some are even more expensive than Galaxy! Honestly, there are way more new, modern places over there. And we don’t have this ‘poor side’ and ‘rich side’ thing near Levoberezhna. If you say that to a local, they’ll just be like, 'Johnny, stop talking nonsense.
Smh🤨🤨 Johnny first let me say this just because somebody leaves a comment different then your false narratives or highly in accurate opinion doesn't mean there a rus troll or don't know what there talking about there's alot of informed ppl just stating facts . Not being bias or one sided just stating facts also going to Ukraine has nothing to do with the facts of the matter so you saying most the ppl saying negative things about Ukraine has nothing to do with ever going to Ukraine, I've been to.Ukraine and I still state the facts And those facts are you johnny are illiterate and ignorant to this whole crises including many Ukrainians and others around the world with whats going on there .also China and those other countries supporting Russia will not turn there backs on them lol 😂😂Russia is responding to the provocation the west has just done All do respect I have to call you a ding dong if the west or Russia starts firing nukes its game over for the entire world there is know stopping a nuke super power when nukes start going both ways its game over for majority of ppl and if you ppl think things will get better if putty boy leaves office smh🙈🙈🙈 your highly mistaken it goes to show how Geo politically and politically an economically and military doctrine illiterate and ignorant you are sad but true ..WAKE UP Ukraine is fighting a winless battle an has been with the west helping them they have and are being played as pawns sad but true✌️✌️
@@Ner141Thanks for proving my point with the blind and deaf you like the other character basically with your comment described yourself Smh🙈 ooo BTW I'm a proud informed American you like the other guy are just useful idi0t$ sad but true ✌️
It may be entertaining for some crazies man, but it scares the hell out of most people, keep up the good work Johnny, your the best in Kiev, be careful bro!
Don't take the snarky comments seriously. These russian trolls are working in the only govt. provided jobs available. Yes, there are many stupid people who actually voted for putin-oops- I mean trump. But, do you think they spend any time writing comments-that's too much like work. Take care.
I don't understand calling the largest group of US presidential voters "stupid." And as for their spending time to write comments - they obviously did and do - they organized to win the election in part through uncountable messages and comments on every English-language social media. People in Ukraine are in grave danger. They're no doubt brave to still be there. But they're in serious danger and the danger grows every day.
Well valid military targets are just that but part of the issue was Ukraine targeted a command and control facility as well as a nuclear strategic site Kapustin Yar Missile Base - attacks on Russia's nuclear sites and early warning systems are very dangerous targets to attack much the same as attempts to assasinatePutin or the minister of defense or the chief of the military staff as they may control Russia's nuclear protocols. If Ukraine attacks Russia's nuclear deterrence it is risking its annihilation as any other country who does the same. Still Russia is being restrained in the type of weapons it is using it has far more devastating weapons in its arsenal and the civilian casualties in a month are less than a day in Gaza with those countries being 1/10th the size of Russia and Ukraine or less. There is also a question of how the armed conflict will actually benefit Ukraine. Unfortunately this plays like a policing operations of force + 1 or Russia's escalate to deescalate. Unfortunately Russia's doctrine does indeed include the use of nuclear weapons now. However I am not sure where you are getting that Putin said he would level Kiev? I don't remember seeing that quote. However the target of Dnipro Missile Facility after Kiev said it would build nuclear weapons and after attacking Russia's strategic nuclear missile site has me think that it was a relative attack. Regarding attacks on the energy grid also service military industrial sites and radar systems so they are dual use infrastructure sites.
Thank you Johnny for showing us that life goes on in Kyiv!

Lark 2, it;s in the description box.
Hi Johnny.keep warm and safe
Authentic and fearless video.
great video
great snow
If those are empty threats why foreign embassies are closed and Ukrainian is on vacation all of a sudden? And you are lying when saying that Putin threatened to use nuclear weapon against AFU.
not afu its not its enemy but nato
The local kids scraped most of the snow off my car today to make their snowballs. Nice of them to help me out! Thanks for the stream. Kyiv would be a winter wonderland if there wasn't some idiot flinging missiles about.
Smart!
@@magic_hotel F…ck around and find out.
4:02 Exactly what Joe Rogan said on his podcast recently: "That's what you get for poking a Dragon", "Zelensky wants ww3", etc.
it's sad that Joe Rogan is so misinformed purposely or otherwise.
Putin started WW3 when he invaded a sovereign country in Europe that was protected by the Budapest Memorandum which assured security assurances if attacked.
Putin got Belarus involved, then Iran, now North Korea. Putin started WW3 2.5 years ago. Why is Rogan mad at Ukraine?
@JohnnyFD Absolutely
I'm planning on coming to Ukraine, how do I get in touch with you?
Why would you need to get in touch with a UA-cam blogger to go to Ukraine? Just go.
@@SutterKrump Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
Johnny, giving it that Mister Roger's Neighborhood music at the end! I like it! 👍👍 In a way, Ukraine does has a lot of similarities to Mr. Rogers! Please, Please, no singing it on the way to school! 🤣🤣 "I would be starring out the window". I guess we could be getting burned out on school, but the kids are great! Excellent video!
Nuclear capable doesn't mean anything, most mid to long range missiles are nuclear capable.
True. This is just a show of force/desperation.
@@JohnnyFD using that logic Ukraine recieving long range ATACMS is also desperation
@@JohnnyFD Do you really think so? Comrade, you are deeply mistaken. Russian units are advancing in Ukraine, the nuclear arsenal is on alert, and when it's too late, you will remember these words. What brainwashed people, simply unbelievable.
@@kvazimedvedababl It's no wonder what's happening, how many stupid people there are on the planet. Listen, Europeans and Americans think that a nuclear power can be defeated?
Using longer range ATACMS to destroy valid military targets is self defense that they've been wanting to do for 3 years now.
I think Thailand is good now. When are you leaving?
I live in the UK and I have no problem with my taxes stopping russia
Rest in peace
First snow Will alaways melt. Here in Finland IS snow tnx snow storm
I hope they don't build on that park he described .. why on earth witld they allow that... Literature Park?
I know you dislike the cold Johnny, but if you dress for it you appreciate the snow. It is so cleansing and I enjoy how with some accumulation it brings silence……and then air alarms interrupt the tranquility 😡. Thanx for sticking around your home longer this year, you are becoming more Ukrainian and that is a good thing. Slava Ukraine.
I guess you can say I'm learning the Ukrainian way.
Be safe man 🙏
Stay safe
I was snowing the other day hear in scotland
Can we do a campaign to get every child in that class' family fiber optic internet?
That's a very cool idea! But I honestly don't think it's a cost issue. I got Fiber installed at my place in Kyiv for 350uah installed and 300 a month. Which is like $10 each and I use a $3 "usb to router cable" and a $15 powerbank. I think it just takes time for the word to spread on how to do it.
Näyttää ihanan tavalliselta. Lapset leikkivät, heittelevät lumipalloja.❤️🇺🇦❤️
Yes, Ukrainian children are so innocent and wonderful, even during war they find optimistism and joy.
7:40 is what this war is all about. Having a say in what happens in your city/country/society. You can still lose the argument but the right to protest keeps things in check.
Hi johnny your hat gave me a great idea , I wonna make and sell these using my knitting machine . Donate the proceeds to Ukraine and Palistine with the Palestinian colours :) as yarn is cheap , and I have time :) do you know any other charity's in Ukraine that it would be easy to donate too , as I want people to know it's legit and not just pocketing the money.
This is so sad to see.... hearts and prayers from America!!❤❤
You can make backup power supply in your apartments, it will cost you from one to two grands or so. But pay attention to hybrid invertors, the cheaper the nosier.
Thanks, I've looked into it. But for $1,000 I can buy a round trip ticket to Thailand and spend Winter there.
Wiw...you speak very fast there for the students!
Those negative comments are surely Russian Trolls!
Absolutely! The Kremlin got trump elected...why stop now?
Those positive comments are surely Ukrainian and Western Trolls!
We got snow 2 days ago too! I really don't care for it, i should have been born somewhere with a warmer climate. I freeze all winter long, bitch and complain. 😂
I hope you have a good blanket!
@@JohnnyFD I have an abundance of blankets😂
@@JohnnyFD I actually ordered a big blanket where it had sleeves and room for the arms. And the head. I'm going to use it all the time.
You better hope Zelenskyy doesn't take the bait for Biden's scorched earth exit from the white house.
Hey @JohnnyFD I’m watching the news every day, and I’m rooting for Ukraine. I know they have separated their Churches from those in Russia. Shouldn't they now do away with the Russian Cyrillik (I’m probably butchering the word) alphabet and adopt the Latin alphabet, like Poland and other Slavik nations. It would make it so much easier for tourists because though you can't speak a language, you can, in a lot of cases, understand what's written. I understand a lot of the cyrillik, but it took a long time. I assume after the war, Ukraine would want as many tourists as possible? 🇿🇦🇺🇦
Кирилиця - це наш власний алфавіт. Росія свого часу його собі теж привласнила. В Україні (Русі) алфавіт з'явився за 500 років до того ,як Москва почала їм користуватись. То ми маємо ще і алфавіт "подарувати" москалям?
It's not Russian Cyrillic, it's invented by the Bulgarians and based off of Greek. I'm tired of "Great Russia' stealing and claiming everything as their own.
Exactly. Ukraine has never used Latin alphabet. Even before russia existed. So it would be very artificial to change the alphabet. I believe there was even a public discussion about this.
Ukraine should not have to get rid of its own culture just because Russian propaganda got everyone to believe its rusian.
Very beautiful. It’s crazy how we can think of the positives when things start to fall apart at times. Our mind is amazing. Those kids are smarter than our kids in the USA. Ours can speak 1 language. Those kids speak 2 and are learning early on how terrible this world can be. The snow is so beautiful there.
Can you do a video with Vita from Ukraine? Her channel is think Ukraine 🇺🇦? Johnny? ❤she’s a great woman! She’s got a great personality! She is doing everything she can for the army! I’m sorry her husband died but she has to move on at some point? Don Los Angeles California!! Can you express to her I really love her? I’m older guy but she and her kids need a man to bring up those kids! I’m just a regular working guy! I’m not rich! Just normal!
Віта - наша скеля!
Johnny I tried to answer to your reply but unfortunately this platform.won't allow me to debunk your response SMH 🙈 ,so if there's another way to reach out or respond to you feel.free to let me know
Stop reposting disinformation then and you won't be blocked.
@@JohnnyFD Omg 😅 can't handle the truth like most of you clueless bloggers talking about this crisis , lol 😂😂 but the ironic part about what you just said to me is you basically just described yourself ever since this crisis happened so take your own advise or be a open-minded non bias muture adult an look at all the facts in regards to this crisis
I want peace an no war an so do the majority of we the ppl in the USA do to soo oo an PS🤔 i dont need alex jones to inform me on geo politically or political or econimics or wordly matters i am wise enough and literate enough to do my own un bias research and come up with the facts an truth unlike yourself who ever since this started you've been bias an blind to most the facts of the matter sad but true put up that 50k bet with me an will see whos right or just 🤫🤫 because I'm not even sure at this point you can even be helped or broken out of your trance you've been out in with this crisis sad but true😎
Wow johnny I'm neutral in this matter and I'm shocked at your behavior🤨 All do respect johnny but you've spread dus information plenty of times and I never said I'd block you if you don't stop You sound like a dictator with such a in mature response and usually ppl that respond like that are exactly what this gentlemen stated to you which is you can't handle the truth. It's OK for ppl to have a different perspective or facts an still be mature an cordial with one another whether you agree with them.or not cone on johnny man grow up
Now I don't know what you said to this guy about this AJ guy but all do respect this AJ guy has been the majority of the times correct in regards to his analysis of this crisis anybody can do there own research its just many ppl don't and can't handle the facts and truths of the matter even when its being presented to them right in front of there face any ways man have a nice day ✌️
@@JohnnyFDWell geez johnny🤔🤔 if that's the case which it isn't BTW Well johnny that should tell you something very disturbing about the platform (hint hint bias an 1 sided doesn't what other facts presented) I wish you'd stop doing exactly what you just arrogantly said to me because you do plenty of that
If you two don't understand how dangerous it is to spread propaganda and misinformation, I can't help you. I hope you never need to be in the shoes of a Sandy Hook victim or Ukrainian and hear it.
Thank you dearest Johnny.
😮😅😊 Look forward to Thailand Sun
Well there was Chernobyl a while ago.......imagine that x 100......
Both were the fault of Russia leadership...
Johnny, why haven't you learned the Ukrainian language properly after years of living there?
As long as Kyiv survived the attacks. Putin seems nervous, though. Praying for Ukraine. The storm shadow missles are doing work too. This war needs an end.🇺🇦🌻🙏🕯
Johnny, it’s not a poor district where you saw much snow. Go and see on that side what multistory buildings are standing there. Please don’t say what you don’t know about and stop deleating comments.
That area is poorer than this side of the track. I looked at renting an apartment on that side (International Exhibition Centre/станція Київ-Дніпровський) and it's much cheaper and poorer than the ЖК Галактика side.
P.S. I didn't delete anything.
@
Johnny, stop misleading people. It's not a poorer area! There are expensive condos over there. Way more new buildings than on the side with the school and Galaxy complex. You should check out what complexes are on that side first. Prices vary-some are even more expensive than Galaxy! Honestly, there are way more new, modern places over there. And we don’t have this ‘poor side’ and ‘rich side’ thing near Levoberezhna. If you say that to a local, they’ll just be like, 'Johnny, stop talking nonsense.
not ICBM
The only difference between these type of missiles it's range so it doesn't matter how you call it.
difference is literaly 200m
Smh🤨🤨 Johnny first let me say this just because somebody leaves a comment different then your false narratives or highly in accurate opinion doesn't mean there a rus troll or don't know what there talking about there's alot of informed ppl just stating facts . Not being bias or one sided just stating facts also going to Ukraine has nothing to do with the facts of the matter so you saying most the ppl saying negative things about Ukraine has nothing to do with ever going to Ukraine, I've been to.Ukraine and I still state the facts
And those facts are you johnny are illiterate and ignorant to this whole crises including many Ukrainians and others around the world with whats going on there .also China and those other countries supporting Russia will not turn there backs on them lol 😂😂Russia is responding to the provocation the west has just done
All do respect I have to call you a ding dong if the west or Russia starts firing nukes its game over for the entire world there is know stopping a nuke super power when nukes start going both ways its game over for majority of ppl and if you ppl think things will get better if putty boy leaves office smh🙈🙈🙈 your highly mistaken it goes to show how Geo politically and politically an economically and military doctrine illiterate and ignorant you are sad but true ..WAKE UP Ukraine is fighting a winless battle an has been with the west helping them they have and are being played as pawns sad but true✌️✌️

It may be entertaining for some crazies man, but it scares the hell out of most people, keep up the good work Johnny, your the best in Kiev, be careful bro!
100% agree Johnny.
Don't take the snarky comments seriously. These russian trolls are working in the only govt. provided jobs available. Yes, there are many stupid people who actually voted for putin-oops- I mean trump. But, do you think they spend any time writing comments-that's too much like work. Take care.
I don't understand calling the largest group of US presidential voters "stupid." And as for their spending time to write comments - they obviously did and do - they organized to win the election in part through uncountable messages and comments on every English-language social media.
People in Ukraine are in grave danger. They're no doubt brave to still be there. But they're in serious danger and the danger grows every day.
Ukraine fired nothing. These systems require nato guidance to be deployed. Idiotic, to say the least.
@@pauld9561 Russian trolls keep beating the same tired drum..
Johnny it has been a beautiflu road on the way to school but there is not enough school content.

Well valid military targets are just that but part of the issue was Ukraine targeted a command and control facility as well as a nuclear strategic site Kapustin Yar Missile Base - attacks on Russia's nuclear sites and early warning systems are very dangerous targets to attack much the same as attempts to assasinatePutin or the minister of defense or the chief of the military staff as they may control Russia's nuclear protocols. If Ukraine attacks Russia's nuclear deterrence it is risking its annihilation as any other country who does the same. Still Russia is being restrained in the type of weapons it is using it has far more devastating weapons in its arsenal and the civilian casualties in a month are less than a day in Gaza with those countries being 1/10th the size of Russia and Ukraine or less. There is also a question of how the armed conflict will actually benefit Ukraine. Unfortunately this plays like a policing operations of force + 1 or Russia's escalate to deescalate. Unfortunately Russia's doctrine does indeed include the use of nuclear weapons now. However I am not sure where you are getting that Putin said he would level Kiev? I don't remember seeing that quote. However the target of Dnipro Missile Facility after Kiev said it would build nuclear weapons and after attacking Russia's strategic nuclear missile site has me think that it was a relative attack. Regarding attacks on the energy grid also service military industrial sites and radar systems so they are dual use infrastructure sites.
Почему ты выбрал жить в Киеве? Мне кажется гораздо лучше и комфортнее живется в более маленьком городе что то вроде Винницы либо Полтавы ?
Kyiv is the International hub, if I was married, I'd happily move to a smaller city.
I donated to Jake bro on both his million dollars trucks but would love to donate to your truck 🚛🚛🚛
Thanks April, but my campaign already reached 100% thanks though!

God Bless Ukraine.
