I Spent a Day with Ukrainians Affected by The War & My Escape to Germany
Ever since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine has been a different place. Missiles flying everywhere, alarm sirens blowing on regular basis, people running to basement to find shelter, many of the Ukrainian people are scared and worried for their safety, for the future of their country. This is full-scale war!
I decided to take my camera to film the reality of the war and spend a day with Ukrainians. It is difficult to comprehend what they are going through.
In this video I also narrated how I had to leave Ukraine for Germany due to the war; a painful decision because I have been leaving in Ukraine for 8 years now.
The pain of leaving everything behind, hurts. I left Ukraine with just 2 clothes, pants, my camera and laptop.

@Danny Francis I just have a passion for this and feel the camera is my greatest weapon. I left everything I had in Ukraine and took just 2 clothes, my camera and laptop because I know with my camera and laptop I have what it takes to build everything back up. It might not be easy but where there is a will, there's a way.
Looking forward for new video!

Pray psalm 94 against evil aggressors🙏🇺🇦 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs, O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shew thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage. 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.

I am seeing reports of racism at the border, but also many students saying they did not experience this. Can you tell us your experience?

Hello, I personally didn’t experience any form of racism at the border. The only challenge I had which I explained in the video was when I was boarding the train from Lviv to Poland and couldn’t get on cos the police insisted women and children first. But I was fortunate and found an empty cabin. Other than that, everything was great. Ukrainians aren’t racists. A small percentage of the “bad” people doesn’t describe the true beauty of Ukraine!)

@@SaveTheNations thank you for your response. I'm concerned that media is only focusing on the negative and many in the US and Caribbean are now supporting the invasion because of this. I believe that many problems at the border were misunderstanding, but because I am "white" I'm told I am denying racism or that I am agreeing with racism. It's a no win situation.

@@waitaminute2015 I understand where you're coming from but believe me when I say there are a lot more good people in Ukraine. You can see it through several videos on my channel.
This is a much needed prospective and all credit to you an exceptional human being you really are. However it is ultimately up to the Ukrainian people themselves to speak out like you have against the discrimination which is going on within Russia and the Ukraine. The news media has the truth but are not giving a balanced view as in showing the racist actions of the Ukrainian people against Africans and Indians. I would like to see you and other countrymen, women, & children from Africa, India, Poland, standing together with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denouncing the racist actions by many Ukrainians . Then call for all nations to come together and stop the Russian onslaught. Many Russians don't want this madness to continue. Stay safe Mr Mayowa, and lets stop this war created by President Putin he must not be allowed to use chemicals on women and children.

@@SaveTheNations No doubt, but they are not speaking up for themselves denouncing those who harbour lethal thoughts and will carryout abhorrent acts of violence against African's and other people of colour. We need to hear the Ukrainian people speaking out against those who have such hatred in their hearts. Lets not detract away from what your portrayal of Ukrainian life has been like. However yours is a unique perspective compared to many who do not agree with you and are living in the Ukraine.

@@saintlewis-green1680 Thank you for your honesty and humanity. There are black people who, as a survival strategy, adopt the view of the majority of white people on racism. While such a strategy is beneficial to the individual, it is detrimental to the greater good.

@@MsMaasi Your just the kind of person with a the warped mindset I have been looking for. According to your statement here, Ukrainian needs are superior to everyone else's right? Pushing Africans and Indians of trains so certain Ukrainians get out first so they do not get injured first is all that matters right? Segregating people based on their colour is right? Ukrainians on buses first Africans can walk is ok why? Maasi think before you write inflammatory comments and if your in the Ukraine right now post positive videos of Ukrainians helping all ethnic people as one of their own that's a god starting point for you.
