Journey from Kyiv to Lviv 🇺🇦
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2023
- After spending the entire winter in Kyiv, it's time to take a trip. But since the airport in Ukraine is closed still, all trips consist of going through Lviv on my way out, which is where I'll spend a week first.

Just great content to see the real time life of Ukrainian people and what they are living through right now in 2023. You keep the interest of us who are so far away. Like any free person you have an obligation to continue our support until all Ukraine is free.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from New Zealand 🇳🇿
i bet that whole train heard you eating that apple lmao
One thing I've learned in watching this man is. He certainly eats well!!
How errie it was to hear the air raid sirens go off during the funeral for the fallen soldiers. What great respect the town people show to the fallen soldiers. Heroiam Slava!
You do realize Angilie Jolly and every movie star gets the Air Raid Walt Disney Alert
Those fallen soldiers were so young…breaks my heart to see the extreme losses.
Yes
Putler is an evil bas***d.
Agree, it’s not right IMHO. Makes me even more outraged at the EVIL monster PUTIN.
Lol thay are on the wrong side that's what happens 😆
@@donttrustgoogle8107 look, we've got a talking shitpile with an internet access here!
Thank god we stopped giving Ukrainian air time no longer on the news eurovision is more important ps thanks for giving the uk a economy a boost 😀 can he host it again next year 😀
Lviv is spectacularly beautiful. My close friend is a wonderful Ukrainian woman in Utah. I see the sadness in her eyes, and what’s happening to her country with this terrible war, she does have a distain for Russians most vehemently.
Blessings for the fallen soldiers
🙏🏼💙🇺🇦
*disdain

DEEPEST RESPECT to all Ukrainian soldiers. Slava Ukraine! 👍💛💙🇺🇦
🇷🇺
I love lviv. Where I met my wife in 2018. Been there about 7 times and going back soon! Thanks for taking us back virtually!
Haw match did you pay for your wife ? I'm looking but torn between a Russian and Ukrainian whitch do you recommend?
@@donttrustgoogle8107 Again being a jerk. Juvenile.
Thank you so much Johnny for making those videos about Ukraine. I have great respect for all fallen soldiers of Ukraine and am proud they are remembered so well.
Beautiful city…must visit after the war and since I am a senior hope it’s soon.
Every restaurant Johnny enters he says this is my favourite looooooool
And then when he leaves every one of them he says he doesn’t like them anymore because they gained popularity and we’re able to expand and open new locations elsewhere in the country… 😂
Nice video Johnny. I never saw inside of a train like that. They had beds and tables? Wow. Love seeing the people and the buildings. Thanks for showing us the town. So much different than Oklahoma.
That train ride was creepy AF. But that hilarious look on Johnny's face when his fruit tart fell apart was priceless!
the train is the cheapest one, ticket costs about $10 -15, you got what you pay for
Johnny loves his food.
He also like checking out the backsides of younger girls ,And he got caught doing it 😀
@@roughready5554 He got caught? Interesting!
19:30 Vladislav Tkachenko, Vladislav Belechinski - please learn the alphabet for heaven's sake
Johnny, since I've been subbed to your channel, I don't recall ever being bored or not drawn in. You make every video very interesting, and I get lost in what's going on. Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome, I’m glad you like the videos!
Johnny, I very much enjoy watching you.
You are so genuine. It all hits home with me 'cause I'm born in Slovenija, part of the former Yugoslavia .Went back after h8gh school and stayed 14 years .Loved every minute .Now reside in Toronto.
The drinking with the babushkas,etc YES.
Anyway, hopefully some day you will visit my hometown/birthplace of LJUBLJANA.
Very much looks like the Ukranian cities you so love.
Otherwise, GET A CAT! Please...you CAN HANDLE IT. An older one if kittens are too much for you
Stay safe and keep doing what you are doing.
so slovenia was also austro hungarian empire? thanks
All honor and sympathy for the soldiers of Ukraine who die defending their country.R.I.P. Amen.
For me you blog is perfect love the same things like cooking and restaurant and to know what is happening on Ukraine
Ukraine is beautiful!
Yes my city lviv ukraine 🇺🇦
@@jerrykorolchuk6114 Lwów is not Ukrainian. It's a Polish city illegally annexed by the USSR after WW2
@@Sebulba2000 also correct spelling is lviv not lwow its in polish way to spell .by way where u live now ?
@@jerrykorolchuk6114 It's a Polish city, so I'll use it's true name :) built by Poles, been in our borders for hundreads of years, the Poles were protecting Lwów (Orlęta Lwowskie). Yes, it was founded by a Ruthenian Prince, but it was given to Poland in 13th Century as a form of heritage agreement. Plus, it belonged to the Polish tribes first and Kievan Rus took it, so...
its way more beautiful than i thought
Anna from Ukraine was in Kyiv recently taking her followers on a tour. It was lovely weather.
She is still there and making fantastic videos.
wow.. lviv is best city .. I was living there in 2010
Don't be rude John the trains in Ukraine are old but relatively clean
I m so sorry for you to experience our terrible old train. I feel ashamed about it. It s something what we didnt take care of during 30 years, and obviously wont take care of during the war
What??? No, don't change a thing. I love those trains the way they are. There is an adventurous bravado for traveling in such a way. He rode PLATSKART’ in old skool lingo -3rd class $16 Kyiv-Lviv. It means "reserved seat." Platskart is swag! It's also the cheapest option for long-distance trains. The open-class carriage consists of 54 bunks. There is no privacy in platskart, and it is a choice of those who value economy more than comfort--tickets. Then you have coupe four bunks-$55 pp, and lux - 2 bunks -$150 pp with your bathroom, all according to availability. It's always tough to get private sleepers, even at scalped prices. You must know the right taxi driver and beware of counterfeit train tix.
It’s ok. It’s part of the charm. It the intercity trains are much better for day time.
hahahah Johnny can't stop eating. 😂 love it! ''hey guys getting some work done'' *with 4 plates of food*
Still safe wow iktr
There’s an express Kyiv-Lviv, 6 hours on the road in comfortable sits
Some people actually prefer overnight train with sleeper cars.
Why didn't you go to PUZATA HATA in lviv ?
Actually, most of the soldiers aren't from western Ukraine. Kharkiv, Dnipro, and (it might surprise someone) Donetsk regions are the ones providing the most fighting people.
And speaking of hating ruzzians, I don't think anyone in the west really hates them as much as Kharkiv people do.
Yes I think you’re right. Kharkiv people lost their homes and most went to fight.
Thanks for another great video from Ukraine!
Ps I thought you bought an external mic :(
I did. Then it broke.

I am a gay from Bangladesh 20
years old 🏳️🌈🇧🇩
But Bangladesh is a conservative country. I need a foreign friend for love.I feel lonely all time.
I'm just a bit confused. Why does the timetable at ua-cam.com/video/sp9iSFPYhX0/v-deo.html show departures for occupied territories? What did I miss?
Peter, for now those are “fake destinations”. Railway has them on display to show everybody, especially people from occupied areas, that those territories definitely will be back to Ukraine, that we remember about those cities and soon everyone can go back to their hometowns.
Great to see a schedule for a train to liberated Kherson. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
Platzkart wagon brought nostalgic memories 😁
If you have already came to western Ukraine you should take a trip to local palaces of polish nobles around Lwów. This area even now is highly influenced by Poland. At times when Ukraine was part of Polish kingdom, the real power were nobles called magnaci. Few of them were richer than Polish King. Most of their palaces are more impressive than mezhyhirya even after years of being abandoned.
Lwów i zachodnia Ukraina to polskie tereny, do których mamy pełne prawo, to nie tak, że Ukraina była w naszych granicach
Johnny I recommend the mad house, Dubliners and the beat place and very cheap Bigos pub and don’t forget epic cheeseburger and no need to speak Russian as you know :-) yes they have a military Catholic Churche they have funerals regularly at , all that church has an English mass Sundays at 1500 , maybe cool to film it, regards
The ramen situation, i've seen that in many places. People give it a good review because it's a hip food and most people never had a good version of it so they assume that it's how it's supposed to be... Could be ramen in Lviv or Borscht in Tokyo.
Food snob!!
You must be a paid propagandist against Ukraine to say that Lviv Ramen is bad. A bad review in Ukraine is considered a high crime tantamount to treason. Arrest him quickly for his blasphemy against Ukraine - the Yellow and Blue !!- dark sarcasm is not allowed in the classroom! - play music in background--- if you dont eat your meat, you cant have any pudding.
Fredrik I like your comparison. Indeed. However Lviv is a chocolate and beer capital of sorts---not a place for ramen, sushi. But meat and potatoes--yum yum...Try the Slavic God beer in Lemberg--Lviv - made in Czech - RadaGost - The beer is named after the Slavic god Radegast. Stemming from the name for the beer is the slogan: "Život je hořký: Bohudík", a Czech phrase which translates into English as "Life is bitter: Thank God"
back to my off the wall rant connected to Pink floyd---lol
In Pink Floyd's The Wall, Pink's Mother asks to take him home, she cuddles him in arms made of bricks.
Ideologies can entrap others within their walls, and thus become bricks of each other's wall." Ironically, his mother is trying to trap him in her protective wall when this is what he is also being tried for. But the wall symbol goes much further than self-entrapment; love of anything is the brick in the wall -Giuseppe Verdi.
Hey J. how come you never take your Cayenne on a good old American style road trip thru Europe or even just to Lviv or Poland??? Some good freeway hi-speed driving be good for that powerful engine, AND FOR YOU. Also make a great series of vlogs. Look forward to your next trek. Peace!
13mpg
Very moving to see the crowd kneel in respect, as the coffins of the soldiers past them.
I don't think I would drive someone's car from Lviv to Poland for them either. Can you imagine what would happen if they searched it at the border and found it stuffed full of contraband?
Try explaining that.
good to see people paying respect to heroes from the east, russian speaking but now ukrainian in lviv...some people even speak english with me in lviv. sorry to say. i have been 8x
Are you using the mic yet??
Maybe he can drive his car to the border where the train station is and then you drive it across the border for him. He's not allowed to leave the country.
Why he isn't allowed to leave Ukraine? He is not a Ukrainian citizen.
Thanks!
That's lviv city
I see the electricity still going on
Amazing..u don't have a wife....but I can say that about myself.....good luck kemosabi
Nice to see you in my "second" hometown. This is where I live near the train station. Closer to the Bandera monument to be exact.
This part of Ukraine is relativly peaceful but it is thanks to those fallen heros that put up this fight soRussia was forced to retiliate. They paid with their lives. So we have a weaker enemy and Europes border is protected. We all in Europe to there one day to pay our respect.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The question is how long will that part of Ukraine be Peaceful? The frontlines is constantly pushed by the Russians, the advancement of Russian now is solid as they make changes on their strategy on the town and cities they liberated.
Gotta love that Kyiv station echo. 3:40 That's 3rd class for ya
14:41
Johnny and food😂
Besides being benchmark by style and fundraising, you inspire by being constantly authentic and honest thanks for content and inspiring support for Ukraine !
USA forgave South Korea....I'm curious what South Korea did that would require forgiveness by the US.
They do k-pop instead of strengthening its military to counter the north plans for Korea's reunification.
@@thewho5786 They do more than k-pop. Don't forget their dramas and movies too. As for the two Koreas, it was the US that suggested and enacted the split with Russia agreeing to it.
Nothing, he's just an ignoramus who thinks that the US was at war with the whole of Korea. Nobody forced the US to enter the war. It's as absurd as saying that the US forgives Vietnam or Iraq.
@JohnnyFD you must wear out a lot of shoes! Lol. You're always walking . Many miles! Take care Mr Johnny. Show me something good... Lol
Legend!
Well Johnny....I'm gonna guess that since u probably have a fresh 90 days in the Schengen ur gonna go to Paris, Spain, Portugal or a combination of them. That's my guess. Am I warm!?
Amazing, people still travelling!
Hello once Day I will visit. It looks nice the city. Thanks for sharing. 😅😊😊😊
You the best Johnny ✌️ See you in Vancouver buddy 🙏
We had the same Waiter at that Rib Restaurant in L'viv 😁😆
God blesses everyone in Ukraine.
Greetings from Istanbul
Johnny, don't let pronunciation diminish desire. I'm glad you are trying to learn the language. And that's what you show; keep on doing what you do. Never mind the nay-sayers. F-lviv if they dont like your linguistic mishmash, they are bit militant in that part of the country. However, Lviv is pretty resilient and accepting to anyone, even Russian spoken by an American (yes they tend to degrade service if you do). Id say its like an entire city full of soccer hooligans loyal to their team-Ukraine. Whatever, Ive had them block me from getting off buses when I used Russian. Since you are exposed 24/7 to the language; f-all the local politics, just attempt a new phrase a day ---- like burpees or situps. Its about communication---Johnny, you dove in at the deep end and went hell for leather in the Ruso-Ukrainian Euro-culture. Bravo Johnny! Thanks for going out there where most would never venture.
Slava Ukraine
That Ramen :(
I hate our trains..😢
They’re not that bad…and at least they are an affordable available option unlike other countries.
@@JohnnyFD I know, my husband and son often travel by train. I believe that in the future 🇺🇦 railway will become more comfortable.
always enjoy your videos. thank you💜
Awesome Johnny, you are really in the war zone, keep very safe out there.
What was that noise at 11:59 and why you scared for a second?
He was declaring Smachnoho! But against his sponsors, her was unable to say his genuine love for all the cold cabbage in the best $5 Мочи перхоти Ramen Soup... he wishes he could give it a woop woop five stars just for the soy eggs and shredded pork. Yum, delicious- he secretly took it all home. Bon appetite Lviv Stay classy, Lvivska Oblast.
Dammit. I just missed you 😔, I did Lviv to kyiv today 😂
have ukraine and russia officially cut diplomatic relation?
Yes, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
My ex gf was a Ukrainian woman from Donetsk. She was absolutely gorgeous- tall, blonde- like a poster woman for Ukrainian beauty. Her dad was Tatar (not Crimean Tatar) from Tatarstan (which is in Russia). Her mom apparently was Ukrainian. However, she spoke Russian most of the time and had many relatives in Russia. I think she was split down the middle on who to support when the war broke out in 2014. However, who cares what she thinks? She dumped my lame ass and became a Buddhist or some sheeeit!!!
I love this way of traveling and interacting with the people. Before the war I did it often in Russia. Have had nice times, people were great. Don't forget they are also the victim of this war.
Yes, one they are not protesting in any significant way.
@@JohnnyFD where is the protesting going to get them??...
As a fellow Korean to another , u are doing exactly what I wanted to do all my life. Travel all over Russia 🇷🇺, Ukraine 🇺🇦 ,n other parts of Europe , keep up the great blogging 👍🙏
plese don't mention ruzzia
even during the funeral procession of Ukrainian soldiers, there are still 🤬who speak with inspiration about the desire to travel around ruzzia
I love going to russia and Ukraine too even in places like estonia.
@@zakaria2504 Russia is a great place lol. NATO countries invaded more country than Russia you should better understand history.
@@thewho5786 I'm busy with your mom 🍆, no time for history
Incredibly sad, the sacrifice of those so very young.
Get a pair of tweezers and pluck those gray hairs out of your beard!!!! You got like 4 or 5 right up front and they gotta go!!!Shamonnnn meowwwwwww
Love the vids Johnny!!!!!
Slava Ukraini !
It must be super safe in Ukraine if Johnny is back there lol.
I bet you wouldn’t step in Ukraine you just keep hiding behind your computer tapping away
Sarah Jane. Correct I would not stand alongside the nazis in Ukrainian army aka azov battalions
@@sarahjane8949 only nazis want to go to Ukraine 😛
Putin probably wants the border countries as a buffer/ border for Russia from Ukraine.
Because it looks like alot of Ukraine is untouched.
@@ree6553 there are no countries between Russia and Ukraine therefore no countries capable of being a "buffer/border". Putin wants to push the Ukrainians out of the Donbas region of Russia and possibly take enough Ukrainian territory to keep Ukraine from being able to reach Russia with artillery. 🇷🇺
Ich will auch in die Ukraine Urlaub irgendwann.
Why not drive your Porsche to Lviv or is the gas ration still in effect?
Why drive when there is a train?
Isn't this the place you and Bald left from to exit Ukraine in Feb 22?
14:44 Sooooo feeling you -_-
Как стыдно что гражданин США увидил наш "пласкард". Я хоть не отвечаю за народ Украины но хочу извиниться за все это ... Не судите всех нас так строго. Люди нам должно быть стыдно за это!!!
It wasn’t that bad. I’m just glad to have trains 😊
Чому не державною?
Lviv is such a beautiful country. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥
Johnny, Pavlo and Luba have a video out in Lviv. Have you seen it?
The best
R.I.P AMEN to the fallen soldies 😢
RIP fruit tart 🤣
price look on your face when the fruit fell.:)
I feel uncomfortable about passing any positive comment on Lviv, because of what the urban population did to the Jews during WW2
What they did? Just save people,stop beeing under ruzzians propaganda.
they were and still are nazis ;)
@@dosmundos3830 I am pro Ukraine, so I will have to reject that statement.
@@andrewshore2898 pro nazi is nothing to be proud of
@@dosmundos3830 they aren’t Nazis. You’re living in the last century. Move on.
Looks like the Snowpiercer ....Zulu
The trains suck in general especially for sleeping................
First🤎
Who's taking care of those beautiful kitties!?! 😺😸
I want to visit Kyiv. Unusual but serious question, can you smoke anywhere on the trains in Ukraine. Don't think I could do fourteen hours without a cigarette.
you can take a better train, it takes 5+ hours
@Eugene The nearest airport I can fly to is Lublin in Poland and seemingly its at least fourteen hours from there.
Kyiv, not kiev. And yes, people usually smoke in a small area near the toilet, usually, there is a window there that can be opened
@@Ukrainian_sun89 Thanks.
Я люблю бабушки. (duolingo Russian)
Never anything that not Eastern European food or Middle Eastern
A very good exit strategy. The next move is from Russia!!
ruzzia is pathetic
The air raid sirene is to invigorate the funeral. The same they did with the visit of Biden in Kiev.
the air raid when ruzzians planes are taken off in ruzzia or Belarus
All you do is eat on camera.
He is a vloger
id like to buy the hat like the one you have on.
It is sad to think that these area will be destroyed soon as the front lines is constantly push towards this areas.
It's sad that Ukraine just won't give up.
While Ukrainian and Russian troops are ripped to Sheds, Johnny, relentlessly stuffs his fat face.😁
who cares about ruzzian trash?
Johnny is very nice. I like it when he eats.
@@boltandcat1686 He never
Stops.😂
Johnny is like that plastic bag scene from "American Beauty."--gotta find art in life. There is always love and care in the world. We all come across similar settings without realizing and recognizing them. These rarest and priceless moments are not significant achievements but little tender moments. Your kid sleeping in your lap, having tea/coffee with your partner, watching the rain from your window from a warm cozy room in winter.
The great thing about it is that everyone can have their moments of relaxation. One scene which is ordinary to others may be precious for some. But we all do feel when that moment arrives. We love every bit of it.
We can relive that moment even by imagining. The floating bag in American Beauty scene was weird, and it would take some serious artistic sense to appreciate it. Now, seeing Ukraine with fresh eyes makes it all the more clearer.
He is not a Ukrainian anyway.
so after spending so much time in ukraine and "pledging" your love and support you are finally planning to run away from ukraine before things get too hot.the same way you rain away from kharkiv just 2 days before a massive attack .i thought with the amount of love you were showing for ukraine you would stay till the war ended to help ukraine in whatever way you could but i was proved wrong .after all the only thing which matters in your case would be staying alive at all costs ,after all you can only keep on earning more money when you live .any love and support for syria ?or is that off limits ?
hot lol, somebody still afraid of pathetic ruzzua?
