A truly jarring experience. But for the Ukrainian people, it ain't shit. The resilience of these people is amazing- they've chosen to stay in Ukraine while war is on their doorstep. And while Lviv feels safe 90% of the time, that 10% is really scary.

Slava Ukraini!
Ukrainian American here - just stumbled upon your page, love the videos. Thanks for shedding a light on the situation in Ukraine. I hope things are just as ‘normal’ there today as it was 1 year ago. All the best.
ยูเครนน่าทึ่งมันสวยงามน่าไปเยือนมาก From Thailand
Dude how do these videos not have more views? Thanks for getting up close and personal and sharing with everyone how things really are.
We are really used to the sirens. The fact is that any plane that takes off on the territory of Belarus and then turn on the sirens. It is impossible to determine for sure whether there will be a missile launch, but the sirens turn on at any threat, so you can hear it often.
Such a foreign concept- but i guess after a while you cant freak out at every siren. im glad i was there to experience it firsthand. stay safe my friend
Thank god for this channel. Binging this is keeping me sain thru a breakup. Keep it up man, this is the stuff the world needs 👍
Oh damn. So sorry to read your comment. It’s literally the worst thing to go through other than the death of someone. BUT…. You will be great, I promise. Takes time but you will! I just found this channel too and have been binging it for a week……now I see that he uploaded 9 days ago and I’m already thinking more, more, more. But you my dude…Hang in there
This reminds me of living in Kansas-when the tornado 🌪️ sirens go off, people go out on the porch to watch 😆
Dude, I love your content! It’s the best! Thank you 🙏
Damn dude that was deep. And they may not know it but those people are practicing the values of stoicism and not wasting a second of their time because tomorrow is never promised.
Thank you for visiting Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thank you for bringing reality to America! So many are becoming clueless about our life here and why we have what we have!
so so sad, Ukraine is such a beautiful country and the people seem so lovely. it’s definitely somewhere i’d like to travel in the future once its safe😕
Ukrainians just seem to be built different. Huge admiration/respect.
They’re really all ab defending the homeland
This is a great video mate, the views don't justify how good this was. Well done.
Much appreciated 🤝🤝
Commenting so this blows up. How has this not yet ? I think the algorithm will reward you in the long run conner. Keep up the great content
Thanks for sharing this experience. It's sad that such video has only 20k views, but some stupid videos get millions of views.
Dude you have such an amazing channel. So happy to have found this channel. Stay safe!!
Thanks homie!! ❤️ share with your friends bro!
Those sirens are eery. We often heard those when escaping from Bosnia in early 93'.
Thank You Very Much!!! For sharing this type of videos. You can't imagine how valuable this information is. Especially to those wanting to visit Ukraine 🇺🇦 even during war times. I greatly appreciate it. Please keep up the good work. 👍
thanks for the support man!!!
@@SmallBrainedAmerican rent a car;;
Great vlog, great channel. Good luck
Thanks man 🤝 share with your friends!!
Man, I have the deepest respect for your journey. U are and inspiration and the People u meet are the backbone of humanity :) Let's hope the biggest of the World don't f**** this S*** up were living in and we prevail with nature.
The lady at 1:48 seemed embarrassed or sad that you were afraid but I wish she knew it isn't her fault it's like living in a bad neighborhood you can't control what your neighbors do 😢 hope she's doing well ❤
She is amazing
She is. And pretty too! 💕
great videos!!
Much appreciated!
Thank you ❤
Stay safe bro...good vlog 🙌😁
Thanks homie 🙏
Ukraine is absolutely beautiful
I have friends there who just went home. Thank you for showing what it’s like real time. I hope Lviv is spared the worst of this
Glory to Ukraine
4:16 lol
BTW - Post Soviet Russia isn't communist. It may not be nice, but it's not communist.
I you are very right, but the scar of communism is still very much open. Not much has changed.
A fair bit has changed, actually. There are far freer markets internally within the country.
did you notice 4:16 that guy talking about russia an he have nazi swastikas over his knuckles
@@NzTingsThat is Hindu swastikas which are much older than the Nazi swastika and have nothing to do with nazism.
@@ThorSuzuki1 Rubbish. That guy is 100% a Bandera lover
Parecem mundos paralelos. Que loucura. Se cuida aí, cara.
If I recall people stopped taking cover and I believe the capital of Ukraine had to tell their people it’s mandatory to take cover if the air raids sounds. I could be wrong but I thought I saw a video where all businesses must make their customers to take cover. Yes, it’s scary!!!
Mandatory is the worst word in existence.
@@jackabean3080 I believe it was after an accident is why.
@@amandaeisman4835 I understand but critical thinking is required not mandatory anything to be frank.
Maybe at the beginning of the war, not sure how true that is now. It’s been going on for so long people have just normalized it
yes, shopping centers and supermarkets are closed when the air raids sounds. During the latest months, we had hundreds air sirens..Just this wednesday the air raid warning was sounded 8 times, but zero missle hits, thanks to our anti-aircraft defenses
Similar to what happened in Iraq in 1998 and 2003
I often compare our lives to what happens in nature. Things happen all the time, but life finds a way. Life goes on even amidst catastrophe. They aren't going to stop trying to go about their lives just because of what's happening in their country.
Hey! How many times a day on average there are those air alarms?
8:48 you’ve been to Czechia???? Where is the video? I’ve been looking bro. I love the Czech Republic as an American
One of your videos that brought me here sounded like Mr. Ballen.
Which one? 🤔people have actually told me I look like him haha
yeah i probably wouldnt want to be next to a police station lol when the air raid siren goes off
Ukraine people are very strong , I can see how they don't give a fuck about war, they support their contry not matter what it is, how admirable and loyal humans could be when they really love from the heart ❤❤.
I just binged your channel today I live in ATL, went to UGA & travel the world myself I’m about to transition into sales working remote My goal is to be able to do stuff like this Grab my GoPro & meet people world wide
I enjoy your channel man . I've been binge watching your travels . Your not missing anything here in north carolina or the us lol .
Thanks my dude :)
Wow. We ahould give them 100 billion more dollars.
6:24 ahahahahaah obviously protected with steel wire fencing
Honestly I was scared in the first month but not now
Jeez this guy at 4:10 with the Swastika tattoos on his fingers
Smh they are indian simbols of prosperity and luck, see the dots around the symbols @ 4:16. They are not swastikas!
@@user72778 Thanks
Come to Dnipro city in Ukraine! We have a lot of amazing restaurants and cafes to eat ENORMOUSLY delicious food!
Ukranian from Canada here, respect 👊 слава Украине🇺🇦
You felt safe because you were safe. Then you felt scared because you were told to. That's what all the war props are for scattered around town. To "remind" you there's a war going on.
Maybe air defense is 100 percent affective shooting the incoming down. Myself I would always take cover.
The saddest thing is knowing how many bombs have dropped since then. How many beautiful buildings destroyed. How many people have died. How many children have been orphaned. And now the cold has come. So many more will die. And all anyone cares about is Israel.
There is a siren there it’s not on top of the police station it’s behind that building where you just came out of.
Bro what are you talking about. Lviv looks like a European city. looks amazing ! was surprised by this.
yes, the architecture is very central european influenced. And Europeans live there! No reason for it to not look like Europe.
dood booked a hotel next to a military building ...
Hi, why are you in LVIV?
Wow, I'm happy to hear that you recognize the dangers of Communism. Thank you for explaining that the people that have actually experienced Communism hate it with a passion.
4:16 Frist guy he runs into has 4 nazi swastikas across his knuckles.... then proceeds to call Russia nazis lol
It looks like Indian swastika, it has dots and isn’t tilted like the nazi one. It means prosperity and good luck
@@yulianarondyak8632 don't talk nonsense. He's is clearly a nazi
i am sorry for Ukrainians who fooled by their president
@@yulianarondyak8632 no
@@yulianarondyak8632 bs
I have to ask, are you bangin anyone in your travels? The one in this video is lookin good!
28 year old man 😮
That's not protection around the monument it's scaffolding for maintenance or something similar.
No, it’s actually for protection. If the explosion is close it can protect monuments from debris. It’s all around old monuments in Lviv now.
@@irynazhyvylyak4974 lol. Scaffolding won't offer any protection.
@@jackabean3080 I dunno but keep explaining to the Ukranian woman in Ukraine what is exactly going on.
nice video dude. thank you! thanks to all american people
Dude Ukrainian people seem so nice and chill. Seem like really genuine and good people!
i am afraid, can i stay with you? can i hold your hands?
Salamangreat was a crackhead deck to play for a new player anyway
"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal," Kissinger
Ukraine is “America’s friend” because it was Russia who brought brutality and FATALity to it. Russians do this to Chechens and Syrians too, who are far from friends to the US. Stop spreading degenerate anti-west propaganda
Are you trapped there, dude?
Go to afghanistan my friend
You can be extremely naive. But entertaining. God bless
THE ROLE OF NATO With NATO, Western democracies have created an enormous instrument of power in the world. Although NATO member states account for barely more than ten percent of the world's population, they control almost 60 percent of all global military spending. NATO's leading power, the USA, has around 750 military bases worldwide. NATO states are also the largest arms dealers in the world; they are responsible for 70 percent of the global arms trade - weapons that make the many wars possible in the first place. There is no other alliance of states in the world that even comes close to having a comparable military alliance. But how do the "remaining" 90 percent of the world's population view such a concentration of military power in the hands of a few Northern states? Last year, the US Congressional Research Service found that since the end of the Cold War, the US has intervened militarily in other countries 251 times with the cooperation of other NATO countries, and this figure does not even include CIA operations or proxy wars. These military interventions are often justified by the expansion of democracy. But to my knowledge, not a single one of them has been able to establish a democracy; they have only left destruction, chaos, impoverishment and immeasurable human suffering in their wake. There is no other state or confederation of states that is even remotely responsible for so many military interventions in other countries. This year, the renowned Brown University presented a study of the war on terror since 2002 and came to the conclusion that this war has cost the lives of over 4.5 million people through its direct and indirect effects and has made 38 million people refugees. This means that this war must have cost the lives of at least four million civilians.
I'm not religious, but this comes to mind. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Only in Eastern Europe would air raid sirens be sounding, and people not expected to mobilize to a safe station immediately. In Canada, we would be arrested for not moving to a safe station if there was any such public alert.
go in the bunker
You nervous Nelly. The sirens have to be tested periodically. In Europe, air raid sirens have been a part of life for a century.
In this case, they aren't being tested. It's always because there's a threat of an attack.
That’s crazy people ignoring the air raid. No one should become complacent.
5-6 times a day...monthan a yearr !!! You cant live in the shelter
It's individual how you react to the air raid. Some people do go to shelters each and every time the siren goes off. Some don't. I usually prefer to stay at home since I don't really consider the shelters around me to be safe. There can also be multiple reasons for a raid. Sometimes they turn it on just because of test-flights that the russian military planes do. So most of the time the air raid does not necessarily result in a shelling, that's why some people decide to ignore them for the most part.
The people are so numb to the sirens it makes them looked dense
Of course they love America. We’re paying for everything over there from their government’s budget to their military budget
America is allocating a fraction of their military budget for Ukraine. Not only does this decimate the Russians with zero Americans lives lost, it also benefits American arms dealers in the long run because countries are starting to buy more American weapons after seeing how effective they are in a modern warzone. America might be spending money but Ukraine is the one spending hundreds of thousands of lives.
@@vShoTzZ25 Ukraine is going to spend lives regardless of whether we fund them or not if they want to resist the Russians. As far as Ukraine being the testing ground for our weapons, if I was to believe what our government has been telling us, Ukraine is getting mostly surplus or outdated military equipments and weapons from us, so there is little value in us testing out those weapons. With the Ukrainian economy being non existent since the start of the war, our money is also going toward running their government and not just their military. In fact, people who understand what is actually going on over there know who was behind the 2014 Maidan Revolution (hint, Victoria Nuland) and what was going on in the Don Bas. It’s too simplistic to just blame the whole conflict on Putin being a warmonger. Without NATO’s push for a new proxy war, the conflict in Ukraine would have ended a month after the invasion in one of the peace negotiations. Ukraine is now being pushed by NATO to negotiate and at this stage, they would still have to give up the same territories as they would have if they agreed to an earlier peace deal. Hundreds of thousands wouldn’t have died on both sides. As it is, hundreds of thousands have died so that our military industry complex can sell more weapons is morally corrupted, so I’m shocked that you actually think that is a good thing 🤦🏼♂️
@didierduplantier8359 Listen up yanke !!! and don`t be an American idiot : 1. America is giving only 0.002 % of America`s money (not too much) it`s ridicules ))) 2. American help - is smaller than European 3. If we ( Ukrainіans ) will fall . You Americans - will be forced to pay in blood and not in money and this time your soldiers will die in east NATO countries !
I understand the feelings that these people have against Russians, but saying that there are no „good“ Russians is mental and dangerous. I am half Ukrainian and half Russian and I know so many people who are in the same position. So many Russians (especially in the east of Ukraine) have Russian relatives and vice versa. We are literally brothers and sisters. Again, I understand the feelings of the Ukrainians in your videos, but it’s crazy to me to say that there are no good Russians
8:07 - it's kind of an irony. Americans basically pushed them into war with Russia, and they still love them...
This was over a year ago. I'm sure that feelings have changed by now.
Americans didnt push anyone into a war with Russia. Stop buying into russian narratives. They do the same thing everytime they invade, did it in Georgia, did it in Chechnya, did it in Moldova, Syria and now in Ukraine
Literally shut up lmao, Russia pushed them into war with Russia, you know, BY ATTACKING. F off with the tiresome propaganda. "bUt NaTo", do you believe your own lies even
You are such a drama queen, no wonder those people were laughing at you
My guy. You're in the western most part of the country near the border of poland where I guarantee nothing will happen. there's a reason why everyone is calm, you're just not very bright.
No matter where I am in the world if the country is at war and I hear an air raid siren going off I’m going to be a bit afraid
@@JI-mt7oe Well, being stupid is legal so do you.
love your vids man. But you know that the USSR dissolved over 30 years ago and russia isn't communist right? lol
Not communist anymore, but still a little communist. Commie-ish. Lenin is still venerated here, communist crimes are either downplayed in the media or swept under the rug entirely.
😂are ya that surprised!?!Really ?? lol ya put yourself There!!?? Lol ya just tryin to create content Drama?!( lol spare me!!
Lviv is a beautiful city. Slava Ukraina!
Not only . please google : Chernivtsi , Uzhgorod , Odesa , Kamianets-Podilskiy ... - all have the same old beautifull buildings & castles
Just found your channel. Wow you're brave. All the best to you man, please be safe out there.
Thanks homie ✊
