After a bit of a break, I'm super happy to be back to posting videos! This one is episode 1 of a 2-part series about Kyiv, Ukraine. Episode 2 is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6Vnx9aEhti7icY.html So a couple more videos from Ukraine and then some USA content. I have to say my situational awareness skills were pushed to the max in my first USA video that I just shot, I think you guys will like it :) Thanks for coming along, it's great to be back!

This thing with people not sticking to traditions and constantly willing to try out something new is one hell of an observation! I started appreciating this one about Ukraine once moved to one of those "classical" European countries.

Who's here after the Russian attack 2022??

April 2022. Kyiv. All I've seen was the destroyed buildings in the news. Thanks for being able to see this mixed-up city, before all the damage. Must be heartbreaking for you and of course, the residents of Kyiv. I was hoping you had been to Ukraine, then found this treasure, not only a city in Ukraine but Kyiv. Well, with rebuilding it will be even more modernized, hopefully that is.

Kyiv is not destroyed.Everything that was before the war was preserved, thanks to our army and help from USA which provided Ukraine with anti-aircraft defense that shoots down russian missiles.

The bright sunny day depicted here is such a stark contrast to the footages we are seeing today of Ukraine

Wow! I didn’t know Kyiv was this beautiful! It seems a very interesting and cool place to visit. For sure underestimated. Greetings from the Netherlands!

the velodrome/track was created a while back. In 2014 it was in complete disrepair but after Maidan, the citizens with their own hands repaired it.

I'm so glade you made this video so everyone can see how beautiful Kyiv is. With the war that is going on now I feel its important to be seen.

Ти знову в Києві? Це буде цікаве відео)

Ukrainians are amazing people. I went there once in 2010 and loved it. Very kind, friendly, and intelligent people.

This is one of the best videos of Kyiv I've seen.No sugar coating ,a very objective point of view and a lot of respect for this city.Well done and duzhe dyakuyu.

I love your video’s Peter. Even with the bad air Kyiv is a beautiful city!

Cool insights. We watch all your Ukraine videos. We were supposed to be there now on our vacay but covid delayed us. We'll see when we'll try again. You make Ukraine very relatable and I've recommended you to others. In New York City, I managed a construction project once in Washington Heights with 2 crews, one Ukrainian & one Jamaican. We all got along great.

This is classical socialistic Soviet architecture. Almost the whole Maidan place in central Kiev is builded by Soviets. Churches are old Russkiy/Russian architecture...

It's so hard to imagine that this beautiful City is now a combat zone. I feel so sad for the Ukrainians.

Aww, I got a peak of my beloved mother's homeland . She escaped in 1938 to America. She never spoke of her early years there. Thank you. But for the grace of God go I .

Really great, Peter. Glad I caught this!

So many architecturally interesting buildings.

I missed your Kyiv videos! thanks for the interesting and fresh outlook from the outside, as always

Ну що Петре, відверто тобі дякую! Що показуєш наше мальовниче місто! )) Haha I don't know if you have learned Ukrainian, but I am still wanted to give enormous thanks for showcasing our beautiful city to the world, and mainly to Americans. It might have some dangerous districts (which city doesn't) and our government is still pretty corrupt which lead to some poor management discions, nonetheless, our city is defined by its people and the people here are amazing! Which has always made this city really attractive no-matter the era. Щиро тобі дякую! Hope you see this comment))

ive always loved your kyiv videos. makes really proud that you really understand the city as an american. its so underrated. i was young when i immigrated to the us from kyiv and your updates every year of kyiv takes me back home

Thank you for showing the beauty of Ukraine. Too many people judge Ukraine by the Russian propaganda from the Kremlin. Ukraine is a beautiful country and the people are awesome. Yes, there are problems, but the beauty is there.

Peter I moved here six weeks ago I keep finding it interesting how comparative our observations have been. Many of the positive things politically and socially you mention are 100% true. I love Ukraine.

2:00 did you just leave your 'scooter' thing unLocked while you went in that store ? Haaa! So good to see that from here in south florida where i've had 27 bicycles stolen over many years here

That's brilliant thanks for uploading.

Your Ukraine videos are supreme, watch them over and over again. Thanks for doing this!

I should have visited this beautiful city in August, however Covid 19 ruined that plan 😕. I love these behind the scenes type videos more than solely tourist sight seeing types.

Went to champions league final in Kiev. Liverpool v Madrid. The result didn't go our way. But Kiev was unbelievable. Beautiful people and place. Will never forget it. And will return one day with my family

Your videos are awesome. Thank you. I am Polish Canadian and I am so proud that my country helps Ukraine now. We had bad history with Ukraine before but it was then and now is now. Putin is crazy sick man. He can’t have what it was then. It’s now, it’s our choice not his who we want to be as a human being.

So glad your videos are back!

Thanks for the tour, People I will never get to see and meet in person unfortunately. YOUR vlog from Iran was fantastic Saudi Arabia too .

Just Beautiful ❤️

Amazing content - thanks for sharing this with us ! Watching this all the way from the UK where the mood is definitely dampened by the pandemic, bad weather, health and safety obsession and bad politics. Ukraine sure does have its own challenges, but in comparison with risk-adverse Western Europe, Kiev in your video looks like a breath of fresh air and a bubble of freedom and infectious creativity. What a more inspiring take on life ! I'm loving it !

I still remember the days spent. at kyiv 😍

great video, love the range of architecture within the city.

I'm living in Kyiv now, good to see these new videos.

Love your honesty mate, I'm traveling vicariously through you 🤙🏽👍🏽

Loved this video, pretty informative!

It's so great watching your travel vlogs Peter.. ~A fan from Los Angeles.

Cool lime scooter city tour. I liked it!

This is awesome

Love your videos, wish you uploaded more!

Thank you for another great video Peter!

My grandmother and grandfather were both born not far from Kyiv! They came to America to avoid forced army service about in the year 1900. Interested in watching the entire video series. Thanks!!

This part is really breath-taking. Thank you very much, Peter! As a Ukrainian, I find this video; friendly, accurate, and not "naive" at the same time. You praise some features that you like and criticize some moments that are not normal. You judge of Ukraine really maturely as a local but preserve your friendly attitude, show the contrists and the modern trends of the development of the city. You talk with locals and dig deeply to show a lot of good and bad stuff. The separate thing, that I exclusively adore in this video is the fact that you compare Ukraine with exactly the EU countries, not with the countries of CIS. I really am annoyed when foreigners judge of Ukraine only within the scope of CIS (post-Soviet) countries. The only little thing, that I maybe don't like a little, is the fact that you greet people in Russian. Just doesn't feel pleasing, because it's a sensitive topic of the language in Ukraine. As for the rest: it's brilliant and catchy! Like without any doubts!

Super cool Vid Peter, You did the Ukraine 🇺🇦 proud, Kyiv, yourself, loved the ride on the electric scooter, great way to tour, did you use the same one for the whole vid, how much did you pay for it? Loved the small independent coffee bar & the library cafe etc. 👍 Looking forward to part 2. Thanks for taking the time to shoot, edit and upload. Kyiv looks fabulous 👍

As I study languages, I find many unexpected words like this which are the same in another language from far away! I have found out that some of them come from Sanskrit roots, which we find in languages all around the world now.

This is very interesting, very insightful.

I'm impressed with how smooth the surfaces are that you're riding on.

You see the balcony on the second floor in that pink building at 5:47 of the video? That used to be my apartment last year for 3 years

Cool city,Peter have u thought about doing a house tour in Kyiv?

Got your videos in my recommendations list here and there, finally decided to watch it - and I'm not disappointed at all! Thanks for reaching out for all those who still not sure whether they want to visit Kyiv and Ukraine in general. There are lots of problems in Kyiv (other than crushing balconies, wrecked roads and chaotic constructions). Maybe I'd advise you explore some other districts, other than city's center, because each of them has its own history, remarkable distinctions and absolutely various "sweet spots". And when you add this all up in one - then you can have truly full feeling about Kyiv.

Thanks for so warm video about my native city!

the best city tour video i have ever seen.

Good job!

Nice to meet you Mr. Peter

hi all . Thank you Peter for yr videos. I live in Kyiv all my life but i am forced to admit that sometimes you show places which i can not find out from a first view )

You are the best🌹

Excellent video. Kviv is a unique trendy city with so much variety cheap so much to see including the weather I went in the first week in November it was freezing unreturned next year in the last week of October and got sunburnt

Dude, thx for the vid! You was really nice)

Very interesting and informative video.....Nicely edited and sleek presentation .......Well done Peter .

Definitely a beautiful city from what you can see in this series. Beautiful!!

Peter, awesome video mate. It GIves a good vibe of what is currently going on in Ukraine
