Kyiv, Ukraine | Visiting the Ukrainian Capital During War
32,336
Published 2023-11-12
I was fortunate that Kyiv itself was actually pretty safe on the days I was in there to make this video.
Nevertheless, war is still going on. 1/5th of the country is still occupied by Russia. Cities closer to the front lines are being bombarded frequently and Kyiv still sometimes gets targeted. Air raid alerts are still a frequent part of life. Also just about every single person in Ukraine has a family member or friend fighting to defend their country right now, and many have lost loved ones to this protracted aggression that is being put upon their country.
But my short time in Kyiv was nice, and I got to see both the history of the past, and a bit of the history currently being made there, all while having a nice time with a friend of mine from there, who showed me around a bit.
Come join me on this journey!

Wow! I had no idea Ukraine was open to tourists. The buildings are really fabulous. Hopefully the war finishes quickly. Ukraine looks like such a wonderful country. This is undoubtedly one of the best videos you ever made!

Thank you so much for this video. I am Ukranian, have been living in the states for more than 20 years though...I think I am going to go to Ukraine soon.

Thank you very much for this videoMy wife is Ukranian. We are crrently living in Netherlands, we went back to Kyiv last year (we live in Hermanivka; Rayon Obukhiv, Oblast Kyiv) we plan on going back thia summer. You should really visit moor cities in Ukraina and also some cities at the countryside. The country and the people are fantastic.

Thank you for your support and for visiting Ukraine despite the war

Thank you for this video. It may be as close as I can get to Ukraine. If I had the means, I would go to Ukraine. I hear many Ukrainians learn English. I'd download the Ukrainian language to my translator ap. I would look up Serhii for a tour guide, so I can learn and understand the nation of Ukraine better. I'm amazed at the Ukrainian spirit and resilience against Russia's War on them. Slava Ukraini

Great video Nick!! Very informative and interesting!! Bravo!

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Praying that Ukraine is victorious.

20:47 "Maidan Square" is not a phrase. Maidan is one of two ways of saying square in Ukrainian (the other one being ploshcha). Maidan Nezalezhnosti translates to Independence Square. So "Maidan Square" would be Square Square.

Very nice your video
