Thank you for watching.
Thank you to everyone of you for watching this series. This Ukraine trip has been something I still quite articulate and will obviously never forget. Thank you to everyone who made it possible. Nick
Please more videos!! ❤️
nicholas is a living legend, i hope he gets through this.
Let me ask you have you seen the Ukrainians hammering the Russians with hands tied behind their back then putting on a wooden cross like Jesus and then setting them on fire? or and you watched the videos of them having their hands behind their backs with heads beaten to death then left then to die in pain some put a few bullets in the one head but then told not shoot the rest let them die in pain??? or kidnapping their own stealing all of what they have then killed or girls rapped by the Ukrainians with state it's the Russians??? because I have lots of the true videos but not a single one charged yet
So proud of your empathy & courage, a fellow Kiwi..
Was a pleasure working with you mate! Can't wait for the next one...
This is some of the best reporting on the war I’ve seen. Crazy to see you go from and ordinary travel vlogger to an active warzone reporter
Thank you Liam.
@@MaximumEfficiency Oh please
@@MaximumEfficiency he exaggerates his reporting so does Graham Phillips. They show some, but not all the truth. They're pro Russian.
@@ratagris21 yes, they show other side that western media hide. And he is risking his life a lot.
@@MaximumEfficiency an objective reporter does not wear military uniform or insignia. That dude wears russian uniform and patches
It’s so hard to see so familiar billboards, shops, signs. I missing my motherland, missing peace. As the Ukrainian I want to say only one thing - Thank you for showing the truth, thank you for helping our country and nation, thank you for staying alive. Best wishes to you and Tom.
Thank you for showing the truth ? Thank channel 5 for showing the same truth. He just showed heart felt stories, no truth was learnt here
@@itanamullik my father was on a frontline, had injuries. He’s waiting to go back there. I know what I’m talking about.
@@neck1812 ^ gigachad
I understand you have 40 million citizens and A pretty good economy. Why is it you don’t already have these weapons stock piled. Especially after the 2013 Crimea incident. You should’ve stopped everything and built 100,000 missiles 100,000 tanks rocket launchers. drones etc. And also why are you so scared to take the flight to them on their land. Saint Petersburg and Moscow is not that far away. Send you’re best fighter jets and go do some bombing. Please. Smh.
@@itanamullik Does your channel number 5 go back to interview the tattoo shop after one of their friends had just received a tattoo? Do they interview the regular citizen _and_ play more than a thirty second thought from it?
Even in their hardest moments they invited you in for a drink. That seriously hit me on another level.
Absolutely. Speechless
It's terrifying to hear those sounds, I cannot imagine a life in Ukraine right now, stay strong people
@Can't mossad the Assad For all the people saying this Donbass excuse. First of all Donbass is the equivalent of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria a State wanting its own independence. What happened to chechnya? Did Russia let a country split off from russia?
No mention of all of the money laundering from the west???🤔
100th like
@@Ukraine40 No, it's not equivalent. Donbass has been Russian for 100s of years, by every scientific definition of a nation, Donbass is part of Russia
Well , as horrible it can soun , you get used to it , after almost a year of war i just dont care about explosions near my citys powerplant , i din't care about vibrating windows and self opening door after theshockwave , i have more things to do , under the explosions i study , yeah , and what can i do , sit and cry , nah it's not for me
Wow - from an ordinary backpacker to a war time journalist, Nick's progression as KZheadr, photographer, and reporter is incredible. This series depicted the worst of the war and the best of Ukraine. There's nothing else like it.
Too kind, thank you so much.

@@IndigoTraveller Tchernobyl will be the last free zone of ukraina. Helensky along with the banderovskies with the esteemed assistance of their handlers in DC and London will move the capital of ukraina into the sacophagus. ukraina shall finally be safe.
Im irish, so im not a putin supporter, but even zelensky said he is loseing upto 500 men a day, and why is ukraine army bombing civilins ?? Ive saw the missiles landing, i feel sorry for normal ukraine people, there been used as cannon fodder by america and uk, and brave soldiors on both sides dieing for nothing, this war would never have started in 2014, if victoria nuland and her scumy friends didnt over trow ah elected government
Bullshit.
This is truly brutal, and most of us can't even comprehend what's really happening
minsk agreement
@Michael Morahan Separatist groups are just a polite way of saying people who are guilty of sedition and treason. It is legal to punish them. Russia, however, does NOT have a legal right to invade Ukraine. The United Nations says so. Your opinion does not change this reality.
It's not hard to comprehend if you care to look, in one search I can find Russian IFV's firing on civilian cars just casually driving by. Much more to see but that's a common example.
@@Matthew-Anthony Un doesn't have the right to say who owns what.

I hope this series goes all around the world, making sure everyone knows what's really happening. Thank you Nick for doing this! Sending all my love to Ukraine
Tell us what's really going on? If you think you know, you are very wrong, sorry.
This is not what's really happening, though. It's only seen from one side...that of whom started the war 9 years ago. He can only say and film what the Ukrainians allow him to get away with.

I left Ukraine on 28 Feb, I lived in this city Kharkov Studentska Metro precisely..I remember the shock and how traumatized I was hearing the first explosion that early morning on 24th, althrough the rest 4days I was on constant fear and tension sleeping under the metro two nights in a row in that cold, I haven't even recovered from the shock and the tension whenever there's any sudden sound around me. I Lived in Ukraine for 3yrs amazing and loving people , I know almost everywhere in this video and seeing these places like this breaks my heart .Thank you for sharing this video , and I hope it all ends soon.. Слава Украини
It pains my heart for you and what you experienced first hand. I pray you find peace in your life and receive tons of love and happiness for all the days of your life.
Ukraine lost crimea under obama. and now will lose min 50% of their country under another senile liberal. God do we miss trump.

Glad you got out. Hate this happened. What is wrong with Russia and this Russian world. Nonsense
@@dixztube it isnt russia, its the russian military and command that are horrible, the people have no choice
Keep up the great work Nick ! This is the new way of journalism, keep this high quality of content coming. One thing I would recommend, is being a bit more active on your Instagram with Stories, Story Highlights and Reels. That is a powerful way to climb even further. Cannot wait to see where your journey takes you. Keep it coming man !
Thank you very much mate. I tend to put most if not all my energy into these videos so Insta lacks a bit.
Mate, you’re doing a great job. The amount of awareness you’ve raised from this series, the Nigeria series, the Lebanon series , even in my local communities in Australia and abroad is astronomical. Respect is an understatement.
9:39 that one soldier who had mercy for the cat but NOT the girl 😂💀
the timing on talking about the counter artillery attack gets me every time
Something about the cute little pup Charlie broke me. I know there's so much human suffering going on, and so many atrocities, but seeing that little dog in his sweater and how much his owners must love him made me teary. Reminded me of one of the people in the earlier videos who was talking about how his dog was murdered, and the same happening to other people's pets. They're like family members, and the pain is just as brutal when they lose. I hope this war ends soon, for all the people in Ukraine to finally have the space to grieve, recover, and rebuild. So much love, thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for watching and sharing these words.
I also think about the animals, in addition to the human suffering. If it were not for my cat, I'd be living alone; the cat makes such a difference. I see a lot of refugees with cat carrier boxes, bulky as they are, and I understand why they must take them along. A pet can mean so much to people who have lost so much.
@@hovanti I feel so bad thinking of the animals when humans are suffering so much, but animals really don't understand what's going on. Seeing my dog tremble at thunderstorms makes me imagine how terrified all those poor pets must be. It's a tragedy every way you look at it - if someone killed my dog out of pure cruelty when everything else is already gone, I don't know how I'd survive. These people are so strong.
@@Pupsii_Cola I understand completely; in June of 2019 my previous cat didn't recover after surgery, and there were some rough days following that.
and the beautiful flowers in yards like everything is normal.
So frightening and unsettling. And sadly an everyday occurrence for so many people. My heart breaks at the thought of the kids, especially the kids. Stay safe Nick. This is important work you're doing. G-d bless ❤️
Thank you my friend. Very true words.
@@IndigoTraveller ❤️❤️
More proof on just how pathetic NATO really is. I live in a NATO country and my opinion of our leadership is quislings and cowards. 1
You get used to that. The second it’s not at least a touch unsettling is when you really worry
I am sorry I can not buy much of your stuff. If aircraft of the RF were circling above you is it plaussible they did not see your car and Ukrainian military running away? Losers are known to conct stories
Incredible, well done Sir. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Imagine a old person hearing shells firing from Russia and have a PTSD from WW2
Im sorry for them

@@ryano8613 ukrainians? at veterans? are you completely braindead? 💀
The thing that resonated with me is how you captured the mood and the feeling on the ground, that strange extreme of life going on but in a very tense environment that you can only explain if you have been among it. I got back myself last week from Ukraine and it's in my blood now, I need to go do more. Really moving series, one of your best and as Tim said, if everybody keeps doing their bit to show the truth there and keep momentum going, then Ukraine will be the Victors.
@@huejastle this is not about winning and losing mate, it's about a country defending as best it can its own sovereignty and stopping it's people from getting killed and it's towns and villages from getting smashed. I would say that for a force who was a conscript army 8 years ago with nothing, that they have done bloody brilliantly against the 2nd largest Army in the world fighting off its own borders. Nothing but warriors and heroes in Ukraine and cowards and animals on the other side hiding behind rockets, missiles, artillery and planes just indiscriminately flattening towns and killing innocents...maybe look at slightly bigger picture mate. Get off your arm chair.
@@huejastle russia sure as hell isn't winning either. it's a slugfest.
Please stay safe! I've watched you for a number of years. You're too kind of a soul to lose. I've been fascinated by wartime journalists since highschool. I appreciate your work and just want you to be safe.

@@tomadumas2939 Yea but the front lines is the most interesting. Brb, gonna go make my own.
I lived in Kharkiv (Velyka danylivka, near S. Saltivka, 1 mile away from the front line) until 7th March 2022. I know, what is explosion of MLRS shell in 50-75 meters away from you. I also know, what is explosion of 500kg bomb in 2 kilometers away. I know, how it is to be on the front line and spectate tank battle, artillery shelling, bombing and etcetera because you was in the wrong place in the wrong time and have no choice. But I can not imagine how it is go to the front line in the foreign country, just because you want to see it and make a video, when it is peace and everything is good in your country. You must have titanium balls to do this. I think, every Ukrainian respects you very much. Thank you for doing videos like this. Слава Україні!
This has been a very intense series to watch. Very interesting to see the cafes and tattoo parlors continue to operate. Condolences to the family of the teenager that died saving animals. Glad you made it out alive Nick. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Cheers and Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thanks Sarim, yes, Condolences to the teenager that died saving animals. A true hero.

JstClu, how did you feel about the Ukraine govt bombing and shooting your own citizens in 2014? Ukraine is the 4th most corrupt country on earth and not to mention the Azov Regiment that has Neo-Nazi ties? What's you thoughts on that?
@@kilo3-186 This
@@kilo3-186 Don't even dare to call the thugs, mercenaries, and puppets hired by Russia our own citizens. And if you talk to real locals in Donets or Lugansk, not zombified and not paid for, you will suddenly discover the fact that Donetsk and Lugansk are intact. They were practically not shelled, while the propaganda machine created a picture of total hell in these regions. For the last couple of years, everything was absolutely calm, which, of course, did not suit Russia, which started a full-scale war. As for the neo-Nazis, you have a Kremlin mouthpiece sticking out of your mouth. There are neo-Nazis everywhere, and it is in Russia that there are more of them in numbers. Not to mention the fact that the whole country has become nazi in general. The same pictures and videos of several fanatics are shown on TV in Russia, spreading the false idea that there is a nazi problem in Ukraine. But you can google it and find even more of the same material in russia. The same goes for the U.S., the U.K., and almost any other country. Nazi views in Ukraine have always been and will continue to be persecuted by law. And don't poke your nose into another country under this far-fetched pretext. This is me writing to you, a resident of Ukraine, whose mother was born in russia and whose father is BLACK. In addition, I have communicated here all my life in russian. And by the definition of russian propaganda, I am a nazi because I don't want to be part of russia and I love Ukraine.
@@xxxXAstarothXxxx what does your father being black have to do with your point? just some data points if anyone would like to do their own research. Kiev snip ers, soros, crow dstri ke, D N C server, unauthorized US bi o labs. trust me when tell you this MayDay as an American, I wish we didn't police the world. the time is coming when you and the rest of the world will have to fend for yourselves without the blood of our military and our tax dollars. you think Americans (the ones paying attention) like the fact that most of our country's sheep have been brainwashed to believe 60 billion of OUR US dollars should go to fight YOUR War? This conflict stinks to high heaven with misconceptions and disinformation of several magnitudes. "wag the dog"
Great work again Nick - the big media companies seem to have moved on from war. Very Sad life for Ukrainians, especially the elderly. Crazy seeing all the tanks, helicopters just lying around the city. Then seeing rockets just flying over your heads. Keep up the good work mate and stay safe Nick.
Thank you Brent, much appreciated your support :)
The media companies will be back. They are looking for a story and the story of Russia slowly grinding forward isn't 'sellable'. Three weeks down the line by which time the Ukranian army could be in danger of being forced out of donbas amid heavy casualties on both sides, with Russia close to its immediate war aim is a story. Another story is five to six weeks down the line when Ukraine is using the bulk of its newly received weapons and retaking territory / resisting Russian attempts to take over donbas. Its a bit cynical but its hard to know whether the media wants to push these certain stories on us, or if its us that want these types of stories from the media.
Ukraine is harming itself. Russia left Ukraine months ago. Putin is innocent. The only thing these evil, wicked people that are in Ukraine have left is the media and they are staging it to look like Russia is evil, but they aren’t.

6:50 that man has everything to complain of in life. A son who doesn’t speak, world wars, his people are dying, and he has no idea how it all started yet, he has no hate in his eyes, no anger, sadness yes but what an unbelievably humble man. Great interview. The fact he said it was scarier than WWII says a lot.
Well, don't want to ruin your nice comment but technically speaking he was 5-6 when war ended so he probably don't remember much about the war or his perception of it could be wrong. Maybe it does feel scarier maybe not, who knows but does it really matter? I mean, every war is scary, no matter if it's big or small.
@@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781 I think the modern munitions, the sheer scale of this war in terms of weaponry and firepower used. The destruction alone literally looks like an shelled out European town. Yes war is scary, but having shells fly indiscriminately into civilian populated areas…even he said, “at least we can hide in a cellar then, now you can’t.” Just the modern weaponry alone is much more devastating. There is no argument in that. Aside from Hiroshima and Stalingrad, I never seen such destruction in modern times. Much worse than Beirut. Also I do not assume to know what I would or wouldn’t remember during a wartime as I never had to grow up in a city that was at war. I’m sure it’s something unforgettable to say the least though, just my opinion.

No, they're not ordinary people at all - they display extraordinary strength of character, determination, initiative, kindness , generosity and self sacrifice in the most extreme circumstances and prove that the light of humanity can still shine in the midst of utter darkness.

The crushed blue RAV 4 at 10:15 had Irish number plates. That in itself perhaps has little relevance, but to this Welshman, seeing a vehicle with number plates of a neighbouring country, really brought it home again that this is a war on the continent on which I was brought up. Every time that happens, my emotions are a mixture of utter sadness, anger and a hatred towards Putin and his despicable evil regime.
Yeah, thought it was surreal seeing that there. Horrific scenes.
The garage this car came from is a garage I know well in Dublin I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. To think that a few months ago this person that owns it was probably working and living in my country not too far from where I live, it’s crazy. I have mentioned before that a gentleman that worked in a branch of Aldi in Dublin for years went home to fight and sadly lost his life. Very sad.

@@IndigoTraveller Since Russia began its invasion in February, 250 cultural institutions have been targeted by Russian munitions. Thousands of important museums pieces have been destroyed during the bombing of Mariupol and elsewhere. In Melitopol, Scythian gold artifacts worth millions that date back to the fourth century B.C. were stolen from crates the museum had hidden them in.
It’s been 4 months now, and Ukrainian officials are claiming this will last the entire year and NATO agrees. We all. Hope it will end, but realistically it will keep going for quite some time.

This has been quite an emotional series my heart breaks for the Ukrainian people and I just hope and pray there is peace again very soon. Looking forward to the next series wherever and whenever that may be until then stay safe and take care nick
Thank you for watching the series and supporting Darren!
A million Iraqis died because of your invasion and you ppl didnt give a fk 🤣
I'm waiting for final episode.. when Nick come to Ukraine after war, after Russia loosing. I Want to hug Nick in Kharkiv for his really important work
It's spuer dangerous in Ukraine like there suffering
@@gts4373 It’s been 4 months and Ukrainian officials expect the war to last all year. By then there will be total destruction of Ukraine even if the Russian army is completely repelled. Hopefully, they will be able to find enough money to rebuild. It will take years to get back to normal.
Thank you so much for this amazing series. It's kinda surreal living so close to war (I'm from Romania) and watching all the destruction and suffering only a few hundreds kilometers away from me. You did an excellent job!
Increadible journey and story. Great video.
The tattoo couple really was amazing! People helping people!
God bless all of you guys. Just please please please don't stop reaching out to help the person next to you. We will never get anywhere on our own but with each other we can do anything!
Thank you for showing us what most people dont Nick. Your work so far brings me so many emotions. I am so sad for those people and for every person who is facing struggles like this in daily basis. I wonder when is all that suffering worldwide is about to end. Greetings from Greece.
Imagine the pets being left behind too. like i saw that cat sitting in the window wondering about the noise.
Listening from Canada. This truly hits different when you have a local man saying this war is scarier and worse than World War 2. That statement should go a long way.
Ive been watching your channel, and your travels for about a year and a half now, i appreciate this so much. A very humanizing view of that beautiful country, not just news clips and filtered information. Be safe, good luck.
I'm so fucking gobsmacked there are still people who don't believe this is still happening! Thank you Nick for the series - be safe
People think this isn't happening ? What people ?
@@carlo_cali Russians, because of propaganda
@@Skyostin so they don't believe anything else they see except on Russian state T.V. ? I heard people don't even want to talk about it in public bc of Stalin era retributions.
@@Skyostin dumb she is saying about ignorants who don't believe
I still haven’t seen any evidence of a war going on. Looks like bullshit to me
War is absolutely hell 😢
It's crazy how in any other situation all that damage you see would feel out of place, and while all of it is still tragic... it almost feels normalized or something. Is that just me?
Keep Calm and Carry On
It IS normal, because it's a war in Slavic countries, it's completely normal. They ALWAYS go to major war.
It seems you really can get used to anything except hunger, even bombed out buildings.
@@rowardhuizing7785 you can get used to hunger aswell.
This was so intense to watch. I am so glad to hear that you are safe. I hope your friend, the journalist, stay safe as well. I messaged him on IG. Much respect and so much gratitude for the work you’re doing.
Your videos are exceptional. Thank you so much for taking the risk and documenting your experience.
Thanks so much!
thank you Nick for your courage in coming to Ukraine and covering what is happening here
U FROM UKRAIN HOW IS NOW SITUATION
Even tough you got 1.7 millions subs your channel is underrated
1.8mil
@@eaglev230 1.83 mil
My wife and I have a lot of family still in Ukraine. Thank you for documenting this. It's been 6 months and we've been in direct contact with them and I still can't wrap my head around it
Благодарим ви!
Thanks for visiting our lovely neighborhood
thanks for your work
While I'm sad that the series is coming to an end, I am so glad that you made out of the country safely. Just absolute phenomenal work Nick
Thank you very much, Saleem!
2 kiwi boys telling it as they find it - heartbreaking, emotional, and yet the UA'n resilience is astounding positive in the midst of so much destruction brought upon them.. they deserve their independence and the ability to continue to forge their own country they way they want it ... i've been watching alot of UA from kiwi-land, but hearing our own accents makes this series the most powerful .. you're very brave Nick, and your efforts are really really appreciated, the free world is with you and UA, kia kaha
Thank you Ant. Much appreciated.
Well they won't be independent for a while until the American government of Ukraine does not disappear from their country😃
@@KokenyRichard newsflash, they're joining the EU, candidacy status approved this week, or didn't they report that in Hungary
@@antdavisonNZ And what? Idc if they join the EU because it's not a military alliance. Another one joining the woke community:) Hopefully Russia wins soon and we won't go completely poor here in europe and not our money will be spent to bs like rebuilding Ukraine. Only because western oligarchs who rule the west, the EU,NATO and the WHO and who made this world chaos that's going on rn want us to.
@@antdavisonNZ bytheway as all opposition parties are banned and a dictatorship is ruiling Ukraine they don't really live up to European values as Von der woke said.
I respect that you haven’t monetised this with ads your making it for history and out of respect to Ukraine
wow. Thanks for this video.
Such incredible bravery! Thank you for bringing us this information!
Balls of Steel. This channel & its ability to capture the struggles of the most horrific living conditions of humanity is beyond words.
North Korea enters the chat.
You obviously don't follow independent journalists Patrick Lancaster.
Balls of steel? I call it stupidity
@@texanman2870 a dangerous humanitarian effort to expose atrocities committed against humanity may well seem stupid to some; but, to others, this channel's work is Sacred. ... but, being from a state which fought 2 civil wars to maintain slavery... you are forgiven for not being able to appreciate this right off the bat.
Initially, none of the souls, all around the world knew about Ukraine. That used to be a stand-alone country that used to be getting everyone passing by itself! But for the time being, Ukraine is under the spotlight of millions of eyes, making advances retaliating against "the second mighties world army". I'm largely and endlessly thankful to you man, regardless of all the extreme danger that you've held out!!!! May the entire world know about this adversity and courage at the same time!!!!
This is the first ever war where people get to see truly what war is, and it's sad.
Heartbreaking. Stay safe, gentlemen. Thank you for sharing these experiences.
Mate please be safe, your work is absolutely amazing thank you so much for more insights. Your transformation to a full time war journalist is impressive, keep it up and keep your head down in case of being too close to the frontline
Thanks for your video and thank you for coming to Ukraine in this time.
I'm from Ukraine what u guys do fors our country is so amazing it bring me joy in these bad bad times thanks for showing the truth som of the things u have showed in these I've seen in person so sad to see them like this now I'm sorry fellow comrades
Many thanks for this whole series, Nick - for showing places that most of us could not access, situations that hopefully most of us will never experience, and for giving people platform to share their stories. Such a valuable material! All the best, and cлава Україні!
Much love, Daria!
Better than any shit mainstream media channel where they fake a percentage of the war scenes for propaganda/ views etc. CNN has been caught faking wartime footage in the Mideast (as pointed out by the banned documentary “The Veto”).
Ukraine is harming itself. Russia left Ukraine months ago. Putin is innocent. The only thing these evil, wicked people that are in Ukraine have left is the media and they are staging it to look like Russia is evil, but they aren’t.
THANKS A LOT FOR THE SERIES, NICK! BLESS YOU AND YOUR WORK!
Stay strong Ukraine

I’m definitely recommending you to my World Geography teacher!
OMG, this is crazy - thank you for documenting this horrendous war, and for putting your life on the line to ensuring the rest of the world gets to see what's really going on...
Thanks Nick, once again. I feel like I have to leave a comment to thank you every video. Stay safe and always looking forward to your next journey, don't keep us waiting too long!
Thank you!
Best tatoo shop EVER ,..when there is a war goiing on and you still make beautifull tattoos. LEGENDS !! SLAVA UKRAINIA !!!!!!
I'm Sad for the people but Tom and friend are doing great work. You will be rewarded Tom.
Thank you for this amazing series, Nick!
Those brave humanitarian people taking food and care to other people really warm my heart, thank you for showing this. You were also extremely brave and dare I say even insane, to go to a war zone and face all the risks in order to get all this footage out for the world to see. What you did is appreciated by everyone :) you are very very brave.
Very good video Nick. Thank you. I'm just learning to make videos in Ukraine for walking tours and I hope someday I will have such high-quality videos as you have and the same number of subscribers)
Tim you ROCK !
