How an American Johnny FD is living in Ukraine during the war

My friend ‪@JohnnyFD‬ left California to live in Ukraine. Let ask him why did he decide to move here and what is he currently doing in the country during war.

    apologies if I "mistepped" below with suggested links. Not very familiar with youtube and their rules just wanted to let folks know there are other Americans posting throughout the war here and thanks for everyone's interest/support. Johnny or Orest we could have a coffee and trade stories? I've been to about 200 villages/towns since war started photographing Russian war crimes now....and the beauty of Ukraine also. The first three months mostly by bike since limited gas and long auto lines at the checkpoints...Hostomel, Bucha, Izyum and more...opps Putin's lullaby just cranked up in Kyiv; 12:13pm, that's an air raid siren....gotta go

    Hi I already subscribe to Johnnys Chanel and I just subscribed to yours. I just saw this video by chance and saw Johnny and I enjoyed watching it. It is very important to see what is going on on the ground out in Ukraine especially during this awful war. Content like this we do not tend to see on standard television news. This content feels more real to me. I am so looking forward coming back to Kiev, it is great City I love it. As you say truth is definitely on the side of Ukraine. Absolutely true ! Good will overcome Evil. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

I hope your channel gets huge and you can use it to help your country and the defense effort. Best wishes from USA.

    ​@@dereksprojects in video Orest says that no problem for the most Western citizens, no visa or anything for 90 days. Now I see foreigners in Kyiv, especially at the center of the city, but at the start of fullscale invasion I've seen only press guys with all their stuff like cameras e.t.c. at main Kyiv railway station and they were the only foreigners. So I think yes, you can come here without any difficulties.

    Ukraine needs to put burned out tanks on every road coming into Ukraine as a blockade! Also on both sides of bridges both sides! The other Russian tanks can’t drive over them so it would take time for Russians to move them out of the way and you can shell everything on the roads and they can’t come into the Kiev!
