A journalist returns to Kiev from Lvov -- 4 days ago
« on: April 05, 2022, 02:36:42 PM »
This is a great video with many insights. Contrary to myths from some it is not easy to get into the territorial defense force -- that discussion is at 4 minutes in.
He visits a secret underground party, where those who worked all day let off some steam.  These people are really brave as most walk around w/out helmets or vests.
At 16:40 in he visits Ohmadit Children's Hospital, which was the most difficult place for him to visit due to seeing injured children.

Kiev is over one thousand years old. It was previously destroyed by Genghis Khan and the H guy, and it is still standing. Let's see how far Putin wants to push this war and further tarnish the image of Russia and the Russian people. It only takes one guy who gets elevated to being an authoritarian leader with no checks and balances to destroy the peace and harmony which had been there before.

At the private party there are many posters on the wall about that guy, I won't repeat here what they say however anyone can watch the video to see for themselves.

This is another video from Anton Somewhere. So previously and normally he has done travel videos.
He is originally from Lugansk, however he lost his home after the Russian invasion in 2014.
He moved to Kiev and so did his Mom. That was his new home, for the past eight years. A peaceful home until now.
These are his impressions of the first 6 days of the invasion by an outside foreign power who has taken away the peace.
