🇺🇦 A week now seems a lifetime ago in terms of the rapidly changing events in Ukraine. I arrived in the country thinking to myself ‘Putin isn’t mad enough to invade because the Ukrainian people will fight to the death for their country. It will be like Stalingrad.’ And yet I was completely wrong to underestimate his insanity. Now as I write this the people who I met in this video are living under bombs and bullets. Unbelievable how much suffering Ukrain e has gone through in its history.
I could write so much but I will leave that until my next video. In the meantime I wish the people of Ukraine well and hope for their safety in this terrible war 🇺🇦
Gurom
Stay safe!
what invasio? russians didnt drop bombs like they say so. I see many videos of russians rockets MLRS and i dont see citys or Kiev on fire, when MLRS explode, we all know how it looks like. Just manipulation to put down Putin
Man i do hope you are okay.
Looks like the news had it right.
Slawa Ukrainie
Wow hehe.
Western media lies…
The Russia president was watching your videos is the reason he want it back
Would be great to have insight in how life is in kyiv, but most importantly stay safe and hope that this war comes to a peaceful end soon
Do episode about your family history it's interesting, and great Polish btw your experience in Russian helps you a lot.
Wishing you lots of luck and have a safe return.
I knew you had to be dropping a video sooner than later!!!
Stay safe Ben!!
Man, this is one of the shortest and strongest of your video of all time. Decpite the suffer and terrible mistakes, congrats to you as a journalist, your long way to the (i dont know this words in English, but i know that you know it in Russian) самому острому, самому символичному и глубокому видео have been succesfully finished. All my hopes only about peace, and i wish you will never shot videos like this in the future.
I'm a huge fan of the channel, this video was extremely interesting to watch. Thank you for giving us an on the ground insight
"If Joe Biden and the British press are to be believed". fucking lol.
i was like, imagine if bald made a video about this, nek minute… always in on the action mate, love it, hope this shit ends soon
I always said i wanted you to go to poland but that is not at all what i was talking about….. Dude if you join and fight i will fly there and join with you
Your age is showing, referring to it as "The Ukraine". It is simply "Ukraine". I think the "the" dates back to when the USSR was intact, though I'm not sure if it was ever actually accurate or just how those in the West – or at least the USA – referred to that region of the USSR.
16:20 russian border
Great video once again, inappropriate footwear once again. Stay safe.
What a difference a week makes ! Stay safe bigman, much love.
Bald you should be on tv your vids are really great – pray for Ukraine
I've watched your videos from the very beginning and you have shown us all these crazy places and lovely people, and what adventures you've had, watching this and only 24hrs after the invasion began. Horrifying !! Stay safe Ben. Ukraine are in my thoughts and prayers 🇺🇦.
Earplugs are CHEAP. If you know you're going to be overnighting on ANYTHING why not have a pair available? I would expect you carry, toilet paper, hand wipes, hand sanitizer, soap, toothbrush, paste and rinse to begin with. Add a snore suppressor for yourself (Be courteous to others) and at least ear plugs. If you want to be, well, less bankrupt maybe you can buy some noise cancelling headphones or maybe try and secure a partnership with a company like Bose or Sennheiser. Your channel is pretty big now. And the fact that you don't have a sleep mask…I thought you were like the super traveler?
Holy shit what a time to be there
Great videos …I just want to say the fighting is in the north east right now or no? so at the Polish boarder there is no fighting yet…at Lest I think but I'm not there you are ha! thanks for the good info!
Litwo ojczyzno moja Ty jestes jak zdrowie…. Bald… learn something….
i was so waiting to see how you felt about this.
Take care friend. Your channel is one of the best/important ones on Youtube right now.
4:12 – LOL. The most subtle Brexit joke ever.
Please be careful out there, and stay safe. Hoping for peace between everyone involved.
(there are clearly lots of people on all sides who never wanted this conflict. Many of whom don't have the freedom to speak their minds.)
I was waiting for your next video on this. Scary times… I hope sanity and diplomacy will prevail in the end. But many victims already have been fallen. All my thoughts go out to ALL victims. Ukranians and Russians whose hands are tied and in despair. And hopefully not the rest of the world in the future….
Man this is heavy given what we know now..
So much for YOU being smart about US and UK leaders saying there was going to be a war. I guess they were wrong……
Stay safe Bald. You are so informative and fearless to do this. You put main stream media to shame. Thank you for sharing this with us thousands of K's away in Australia. Cheers Keith.
Just a reminder, avoid pissing in bleach.
Stay safe, Bold
LOL your Polish is terrible. Need reinforcements?
Hope you're okay
Bald get the heck out of there. Russia is there and all hope is gone. All that will be left is a smoking ruin, blood and ashes. Good luck to all the people who have to be there.
ive been following your videos for a while and immediately thought about whether you were in deep with the action. thanks for this great insight into such a terrible war.
If you could've known at that moment… how powerful and predicting your last words in this video were at that moment. Thank you for capturing history for us. I've always loved your channel since the early days. What you've grown into is incredible and am so grateful for all that you do. Glory to Ukraine!
No one has done more for sharing the everyday reality of the common man and babuska in the eastern countries here on youtube than Ben, Always met with curiosity love and smiles in these eastern territories.
