I am now 82 yrs old and have been to 52 countries, walking, biking, climbing, skiing. I read about the war every single day and am stunned and inspired by your national spirit. My hope is that I can visit UKRAINE before I pass on! Slava Ukrani
When Masha opened the door to her cabin and sat on the deck looking out at the silent, unspoilt Carpathians, I fell in love. Ukraine is the best kept secret the world has ever known. ❤️💛💙🇺🇦🇬🇧
I am over 80 years old and never visited the Carpathian as I did not Ukraine. This great video has learned me how peaceful life could be so rich of beautiful culture, nature, people, and traditions. It is such a contrast to the news I am watching daily sitting in my easy chair in the Netherlands about the terrible war that is going on in Ukraine. Every day I hope for good news about the heroic patriots defending their country to the aggression of the Russia soldiers. The talking hands of Maria showed me the world of the Carpathians. I wish her and the team a safe journey and Slava Ukraini…!
Wonderful piece. Thank you so much for sharing. I am writing from Appalachia, the mountains of the US. My heart and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine. Slava Ukraine!🙏🙏🙏
Masha has such an amazing energy! A fantastic ambassador for Ukraine. It's great to hear a good English speaker sharing Ukraines beauty. Please show more like this to highlight the injustice of Russia's invasion. Slava Ukraine ❤ I hope it was zero sirens.
I can't thank you enough for strengthening my love for Ukraine! The Carpathians are very powerful, refreshing, and steeped in tradition. Masha looks so happy to see you! 💙💛
i bet ZERO air raid sirens in 4 days. I was in the Carpathians for a few days in May 2024 and it felt i. some ways a world apart from the war, a place of surpassing beauty and peace. There were many reminders of the war- a funeral procession in Yaremche, many soldiers getting a break from the front, a trauma surgeon we met while hiking. I hope I can return and seek out these particular special spots you took us to in this video! thank you for making this. It was wonderful. i didn’t want it to finish. i loved the dancers. and the trout! and the cheese horses!
I have been to Ukraine many times over the years. I love Ukraine. In all my times there, I never had the opportunity to go to the Carpathians. I have heard of their beauty. Thank you for this wonderful video. I now know where I will go first and spend a lot of time when I return to Ukraine.
From Pennsylvania, USA You make a wonderful presentation, with depth, feeling and a great way of putting your love of the people and country of Ukraine. I have grown to love the Ukrainian people, their land and their music through the magic of the internet.
Wonderful video of the region my parents were born and like today, they had to leave because of WW2. Both survived and eventually immigrated to the US. They lived close to the Polish border in a small village that no longer exists. Love the cheese horses and the vyshyvanka designs are similar to the one my mother made for me (I still have it although it's a bit tight fitting now). Watching you fish was hilarious. We'll make a country girl out of you yet. I've visited Kyiv but didn't have time to see the Carpathians. Now I must visit! Also, the last piece of music I remember my dad playing on his violin. As for the air raid sirens, I would guess maybe 12? Thank you for a beautiful video of my roots. Slava Ukraini. Take care.Taras from the US.
@@MashaLavrovaKI Masha, I plan to visit Lviv and the Carpathians next year. I'd like to fly into Krakow or Warsaw and make my way over. I've also considered moving there since I just retired. Wish you were giving group tours. It would be a plus having someone with your experience and connections! Keep those videos coming and thanks again!
❤ Loving Dare to Ukraine 🇺🇦 so looking forward to the rest of this wonderfully insightful, informative and entertaining show. 🙂 No. Of air raid alerts guessing 2, but praying all of Ukraine will very soon experience none.
I have visited the Carpathian mountain's twice within the past few year's, absolutely beautiful. I will definitley go back again soon. Slava Ukraina! 💙💛
Hello: Taras. I stayed mainly in the Ivano Frankivsk region in cities of Yaremche and Mykylychyn. If you do have time try to see all area's of the Karpaty. You won't be disapointed, the hiking is great throughout the mountain's, bring good hiking shoes, warm clothes and a jacket or sweater if your hiking-up higher mountain's. You'll love it!
I just love all that I,am learning about the people and land of Ukraine and all the Friends that I have met in the last two and a half years and to think that two years ago I did not even know where Ukraine was. THAN YOU UKRAINE. (Florida Bob) Tampa, USA.
Beautiful video presentation. I was in the Carpathians once, for a ski vacation New Year’s 2017. I would love to return in the warmer weather. What a peaceful place! I am guessing 0 sirens while filming. Scotty
I love this show and learning about Ukraine and it's rich culture and history. Thank you for making and broadcasting this. Ukraine will win. Love from the UK. Slava Ukraini!
You find wonderful people to interview, and they really open up their hearts to you. Job well done, thank you for your work. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes.
Слава Україні 💛💙. I've been to Ukraine many times and I have lived among ukrainians . It has a culture that runs deep if you know where to look for it. under country full of tradition and beauty.. it is a country worth saving at any cost.. Russia has always been jealous of what Ukraine has had in the way of traditional Family values and historical .I haven't yet been to the Carpathian mountains but it is on my to-do list. Thank you for a fascinating brilliant video. Героям слава 🇺🇦🙏🫡 The Ukrainian language is beautiful as it is also fascinating to me.
Brynza-branza, vurda-urda, treba-trebuie, tolba-tolba. the hutzuls , the popular clothes and the flute song ... exactly like in Romanian Carpathians. Slava Ukraini 👍
Great documentary. And she can sing! A beautiful song beautifully sung. Bravo! I've always thought of Romania when I think of the Carpathians. Now I think of Ukraine too. I should visit both.
I look forward to visiting the Carpathian mountains of Ukraine, I have been many times to this beautiful country in the course of my work, back when it was part of the USSR and in the early days of your independence. The people were fantastic, really friendly, and if you had a problem they would go out of their way to help you, even though they had very little themselves. I returned there back in 2012 and was amazed at the changes, so much progression in a relatively short time, and I look forward to the time I can return,slava Ukraine
5:15 Brynza (cheese) is from the Romanian language. We suspect it's of Dacian origin. Is it used anywhere else in Ukraine? We also call your vurda urda. There are a few hutzuls living on our side of the border. I hope that soon that border won't mean much, once Ukraine joins the EU.
Oh, avem aici un român adevărat? E frumos, e rar de văzut. Ele sunt de obicei destul de ascunse. Nu i-am văzut prea multe în discuții. Frumoase informații într-adevăr.

I love the series. We know little about Ukraine that isn't in the war news. I am sorry your country has been under attack and support the independence of Ukraine. I am so happy I was able to subscribe to the Kyiv Independent! You are wonderful people.
Great video, Masha! I would say 16 air raid sirens -4 per day- (because I think they turn on 'by default' quite usually when Russian aircrafts that take off could strike Ukrainian territory potentially anywhere...) This video reminded me of the nearby region of Poland (Bieszczady mountains) that I visited in 2007: the landscape, the houses... in that trip I made short visit to Lviv, but not South to the Ukrainian Carphatian region. I've been thinking of visiting this area for some time for vacation (I like hiking, nature...), so this way supporting Ukraine choosing this destination. I think what can be more scary for a foreign visitor during the war (yes, I'm not Ukrainian although my nickname on UA-cam, I just made some donations) is the transit big cities (Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk...) while going to the more rural areas in Zakarpattia, as they can be (and have been) objective of deadly missiles. I know that once you're there you can be 'almost' as safe as any other country. But of course during the war this is definitely 'not for everybody' and it's understandable, but after the war I hope this area (and the rest of Ukraine) will recover also with international tourism. Слава Україні! Героям слава! 💛💙
Dear Masha, let me say i am already in love with Ukraine and its people ! but wow , what an amazing beautiful part of your country that you made us travel with you today ! you are natural at what you do , i cant wait for this ugly and unjust war to be over , so i can visit and experience your beautiful country . 💛💙
What a stunningly beautiful area, full of rich traditions. My chosen charity, Voices of Children, cone to the Carpathians for their summer camps, supported this year by the Olena Zelenska Foundation. I can see why this region is so beneficial to the physical and mental wellbeing of children affected by the war. I so hope to be able to visit Ukraine soon. слава україні
I would guess 6 sirens in 4 days but would not be surprised if it were more. I spent this summer in Ukraine, including almost a month in Ivano Frankivsk. Beautiful story telling, complements to you and your crew.
My guess is 1 time. Amazing video you have for us! Such beautiful nature, people, and culture. May victory and peace come to Ukraine soon! Slava Ukraini!
This video was wonderful. I have been to Ukraine, but unfortunately I did not get to see the Carpathians. What joyful and positive people and such a breathtakingly beautiful place. I have felt connected to Ukraine ever since going there. Nearly all my time was spent in Kyiv, where some of my ancestors lived, but I want to see more of the country. I hope to go back there someday soon when it is safe to do so. Thank you, beautiful lady, for making this video and I am happy for you that you are home and rediscovering your heritage.
A very beautiful piece. Honestly it felt to short watching it. I wanted to see more and hear more of your personal impressions and thoughts. As you talked you were able to touch my heart. Thank you for that. You are giving me the opportunity to see my ancestral homeland through your eyes and of course your film crew.
Of course we will dare to visit such a wonderful country, Ukraine,, Carpathian Mountains are beautiful, so is Crimea, which will always be Ukraine,Qirim 💙💛❤🖤
Truly stunning the Carpathians are... The culture looks like it would be exceptional to see in person. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Ukraine with us. Super jealous of where you got to spend your time for this episode. Can't wait for the next one! Слава Україні
Thanks to Maria and the KI for this sweet uplifting travelogue. Hope to see more of these on the channel. Greatly appreciate the reporting the KI does on web but think there’s lots of room for this genre of material that shows your vast gorgeous country and the regionally disparate people who love their land and their independence. Share it! We’re interested! -Andrew (Virginia, USA)
Almost every place in the world has beautiful people, traditions, and scenery. Ukraine due to the sadness of the Putin invasion has been able to draw attention to its positive points. Another subscription added.
Wonderful country and traditions. You have done an excellent job sharing the beauty and pleasures of nature, foods, and traditions. Thank you so much for creating such a desire to experience such places. My guise is that you did not hear one air raid siren. "0". Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to the next video. THANK YOU!
First of All Slava Ukraine. You have travelled and seen other countries....That in it's self is rewarding as it gives you perspective and opens your vision....There is no shame in deciding that the decision you have made to return to Ukraine and expand your knowledge of your birthplace is Wonderful.... Now once Ukraine has gained FREEDOM from the Russian Dictatorial Persecution you can explore Beautiful Ukraine and Know it is not only your roots BUT your HOME. I was born in the U.K in 1936, lived through WW2, 1955 during Military Service i was posted to Singapore and the Far East and loved it, I returned to the U.K. in 1958 and hated it, Married in 1960, in 1982 My Family and I migrated to Australia and We are HOME having never looking back.... Home is where your Hart is. My Wife of nearly 64 years earlier this year and never wanted to go back to the U.K. and that goes for us all. Slava Ukraine
Such a beautiful film, in so many ways. Thank you for making this. (I'll guess two air raid sirens...) I live in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., and one of the things that stood out for me in your film was the richness of the cultures. That is very rare here, as the blending of many cultures has resulted in little, if any, recognizable tradition. Your film was so fine to see, and thanks again for using your talents to show the world how beautiful life can be.
I love this series. I was in the Carpathians in May 2024 and I didn't see any of the places Maria visited, apart from Kosiv Market. I have to go back for sure. While I was there, I remember 1 air alarm near Ivano Frankivsk. So I'll say perhaps 1 alarm, although it wouldn't surprise me if there were none.
“Separated from your roots” is an exacting expression. A young person will generate new roots when replanted but that phantom pain never goes away.. it stays with you under the surface 💔
From your reactions in this video I would you possibly did hear a air ride warning ((I hope you didn't hear them)), this is a beautiful video set in the beautiful mountains and watching you tack time out without your crew was very moving and beautiful thank you for this wonderful video showing the Ukrainian people and how they live in the mountains, Slava Ukraini 🕊🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🕊
Thank you very much for not doing too much voice-over in English, I don't mind reading subtitles and hear the people's voices. I missed this a bit in the first episode.
I am guessing 11 air raid sirens, at least. I am so glad that you shared this video! The Carpathians are beautiful I have yet to see them in Ukraine, although I have gotten to volunteer in Ukraine twice this year. I hope to visit, and enjoy those breathtakingly beautiful views!
Greetings from the South Oregon Pacific Coast and the beautiful mountains of Oregon USA! Because I met a wonderful young couple from Kyiv on the internet, I have learned so much about the beautiful country of Ukraine, and because they are avid snowboarders along with their friends, I have had an introduction to the Carpathians, and now this. So wonderful!
One day I will get to visit and enjoy the privilege of your beautiful country and culture,and God give Ukraine strength to gain peace and stable sovereignty 🙏💪💛
Абсолютно дивовижно. Приносить справжню надію. Ви дуже милі. Ви робите правильні речі для України. Тільки думаю, що я не розумію, чому змагання за кількістю сирен повітряної тривоги.. Ми продавці сумок? Є й інші способи залучити денге. Окрім цього, це просто надзвичайно гарне відео.. Спогади про нормальність. Якби їжа була така, це було б чудово. Я радий, що ти повернувся в Україну. Dare to Ukraine is such a nice Name.. It gets to really feel connected. Гарна натхненна ванна. Ви робите справжню послугу для країни. Я сподіваюся одного разу побачити хороших людей у дії. Така любов, яку можна відчути.. З тобою справжня надія є, що перемога може прийти.. Це ще довгий шлях але навіть це так дивно. Слава Тобі. люблю тебе. 😊❤❤❤❤🎉 Rich culture, and so Divine. Nice dress with that crown. Emotional. And with a real hope for Future. 😊❤❤❤
If you would like to meet an incredibly diverse Ukrainian culture, come to Canada. Especially the prairies, my Great Grandparents moved here from Ukraine and lived in a soddie (a sod home, like made out of dirt) until the 1960s!!!! Amazing people here, with so many cool stories.
I have always wanted to visit the Carpathian mountains and it was never going to happen outside of books. Now I have been to the most beautiful place ever ❤️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and culture and you will all dance again victory is Ukrainian x
This place reminds me so much of the mountain areas where I'm from. Vermont USA! I've always wanted to visit Ukraine. Very beautiful culture. Hopefully you didn't have sirens go off at all when you were in the Carpathians but I'm guessing you heard them at least once. Great video!! Slava Ukraine!!

I have felt connected to Ukraine ever since going there. Nearly all my time was spent in Kyiv, where some of my ancestors lived, but I want to see more of the country. I hope to go back there someday soon when it is safe to do so. Thank you, beautiful lady, for making this video and I am happy for you that you are home and rediscovering your heritage.
Beautiful land and tears. Thank you from Canada.
A very beautiful piece. Honestly it felt to short watching it. I wanted to see more and hear more of your personal impressions and thoughts. As you talked you were able to touch my heart. Thank you for that. You are giving me the opportunity to see my ancestral homeland through your eyes and of course your film crew.
Of course we will dare to visit such a wonderful country, Ukraine,, Carpathian Mountains are beautiful, so is Crimea, which will always be Ukraine,Qirim 💙💛❤🖤
Lovely country, lovely people, perfect video. Thanks and congratulations! Slava Ukraine!
Congrataions on an amazingly moving video. I love Ukraine and fantastic Ukrainian lady.. We must win.
Beautiful people like this cannot loose a war they didn't start. They all deserve to leave in peace in their own land! God bless Ucrania!!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing the Carpathian area. It warms my heart!
Truly stunning the Carpathians are... The culture looks like it would be exceptional to see in person. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Ukraine with us. Super jealous of where you got to spend your time for this episode. Can't wait for the next one! Слава Україні
Thanks to Maria and the KI for this sweet uplifting travelogue. Hope to see more of these on the channel. Greatly appreciate the reporting the KI does on web but think there’s lots of room for this genre of material that shows your vast gorgeous country and the regionally disparate people who love their land and their independence. Share it! We’re interested! -Andrew (Virginia, USA)
Almost every place in the world has beautiful people, traditions, and scenery. Ukraine due to the sadness of the Putin invasion has been able to draw attention to its positive points. Another subscription added.
Thank you, Masha, for showing the Carpathians - the market, trout, cheese horses, dancing, mountain views - Ioved it all. 0?
Wonderful country and traditions. You have done an excellent job sharing the beauty and pleasures of nature, foods, and traditions. Thank you so much for creating such a desire to experience such places. My guise is that you did not hear one air raid siren. "0". Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to the next video. THANK YOU!
First of All Slava Ukraine.
You have travelled and seen other countries....That in it's self is rewarding as it gives you perspective and opens your vision....There is no shame in deciding that the decision you have made to return to Ukraine and expand your knowledge of your birthplace is Wonderful.... Now once Ukraine has gained FREEDOM from the Russian Dictatorial Persecution you can explore Beautiful Ukraine and Know it is not only your roots BUT your HOME.
I was born in the U.K in 1936, lived through WW2, 1955 during Military Service i was posted to Singapore and the Far East and loved it, I returned to the U.K. in 1958 and hated it, Married in 1960, in 1982 My Family and I migrated to Australia and We are HOME having never looking back.... Home is where your Hart is.
My Wife of nearly 64 years earlier this year and never wanted to go back to the U.K. and that goes for us all.
Slava Ukraine
Such a beautiful film, in so many ways. Thank you for making this. (I'll guess two air raid sirens...) I live in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., and one of the things that stood out for me in your film was the richness of the cultures. That is very rare here, as the blending of many cultures has resulted in little, if any, recognizable tradition. Your film was so fine to see, and thanks again for using your talents to show the world how beautiful life can be.
I love this series. I was in the Carpathians in May 2024 and I didn't see any of the places Maria visited, apart from Kosiv Market. I have to go back for sure. While I was there, I remember 1 air alarm near Ivano Frankivsk. So I'll say perhaps 1 alarm, although it wouldn't surprise me if there were none.
Finally!!! Somebody do it on English! God bless you ❤
“Separated from your roots” is an exacting expression. A young person will generate new roots when replanted but that phantom pain never goes away.. it stays with you under the surface 💔
Omg looks amazing, I'm in kyiv now ,I've always wanted to see the carpithians mountains, they look amazing
Very nice video, thank you.❤
From your reactions in this video I would you possibly did hear a air ride warning ((I hope you didn't hear them)), this is a beautiful video set in the beautiful mountains and watching you tack time out without your crew was very moving and beautiful thank you for this wonderful video showing the Ukrainian people and how they live in the mountains, Slava Ukraini 🕊🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🕊
Heroyam Slava !!
I like the dance.Been to Kyiv but I want to see this Carpathian...My friend from Kolomiya says its stunning..
Very good video Masha, very entertaining and informative. I could see you really enjoyed it. regards Wally
Thank you very much for not doing too much voice-over in English, I don't mind reading subtitles and hear the people's voices. I missed this a bit in the first episode.
I am guessing 11 air raid sirens, at least. I am so glad that you shared this video! The Carpathians are beautiful I have yet to see them in Ukraine, although I have gotten to volunteer in Ukraine twice this year. I hope to visit, and enjoy those breathtakingly beautiful views!
Awesome video!!
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. I going to guess six alarms were heard. ❤❤
Amazing work. Totally love this “dare to Ukraine “ videos . Living abroad and coming back to my Ukraine soon 🫶🏻🇺🇦 we all should come back 🙏🏻
Greetings from the South Oregon Pacific Coast and the beautiful mountains of Oregon USA! Because I met a wonderful young couple from Kyiv on the internet, I have learned so much about the beautiful country of Ukraine, and because they are avid snowboarders along with their friends, I have had an introduction to the Carpathians, and now this. So wonderful!
One day I will get to visit and enjoy the privilege of your beautiful country and culture,and God give Ukraine strength to gain peace and stable sovereignty 🙏💪💛
Абсолютно дивовижно. Приносить справжню надію. Ви дуже милі. Ви робите правильні речі для України. Тільки думаю, що я не розумію, чому змагання за кількістю сирен повітряної тривоги.. Ми продавці сумок? Є й інші способи залучити денге. Окрім цього, це просто надзвичайно гарне відео..
Спогади про нормальність. Якби їжа була така, це було
б чудово. Я радий, що ти повернувся в Україну.
Dare to Ukraine is such a nice Name.. It gets to really feel connected.
Гарна натхненна ванна.
Ви робите справжню послугу для країни. Я сподіваюся одного разу побачити хороших людей у дії.
Така любов, яку можна відчути.. З тобою справжня надія є, що перемога може прийти.. Це ще довгий шлях але навіть це так дивно. Слава Тобі. люблю тебе. 😊❤❤❤❤🎉 Rich culture, and so Divine. Nice dress with that crown. Emotional. And with a real hope for Future. 😊❤❤❤
That was very wholesome and heartwarming, thank you for sharing all of this, I wish I can go visit Ukraine one day.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you would like to meet an incredibly diverse Ukrainian culture, come to Canada. Especially the prairies, my Great Grandparents moved here from Ukraine and lived in a soddie (a sod home, like made out of dirt) until the 1960s!!!! Amazing people here, with so many cool stories.
I have always wanted to visit the Carpathian mountains and it was never going to happen outside of books. Now I have been to the most beautiful place ever ❤️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and culture and you will all dance again victory is Ukrainian x
Enjoyed the video very much. As to your question at the end, I’m guessing two times.
Beautiful, wonderful Carpathian culture and such beautiful, sensitive people. Slava Ukrani from retired Child Psychologist in Florida, USA.
This place reminds me so much of the mountain areas where I'm from. Vermont USA! I've always wanted to visit Ukraine. Very beautiful culture. Hopefully you didn't have sirens go off at all when you were in the Carpathians but I'm guessing you heard them at least once. Great video!! Slava Ukraine!!
