Odesa Ukraine: A Brief Glimpse with an Englishman while War Rages to the East

Odesa, Ukraine located in Southern Ukraine is right next to the Black Sea. A city and resort that has been a favourite of Ukrainians and those from the East to get some needed R&R for decades. A city I've personally spent much time in over the last 10 years, and a city I've seen change before the Russia 2022 Invasion and since that invasion. I found myself back in Ukraine (I was a Resident when Putin invaded) as I had friends that needed help here. This video is some brief clips of some of my time spent in Odesa Ukraine during Summer 2023 - each night I was there the Russians attacked Odesa or relatively nearby. Those living with this everyday, never asked for this, and most can't pack up and leave and why should they? This is their home and their country and they rightly love it. I pray for the day when peace comes back to Ukraine and the new generation of Ukrainians can live happily without the fear of terror from their neighbours. Slava Ukraini!

    I watched your innovative videos years ago. Now, you are lost in a boring propaganda jungle. I cannot watch your mass media type reports anymore. How can you justify this with your logical brain. Life consists of two sides to consider.

    You mean because I support a countries sovereignty? The country i was a resident in when the war started? The same country where friends have lost homes and loved ones because of the illegal invasion? You think that’s MSM brainwashing? I’ve called out Zelenskyy and his regime for years and I was accused of being a Russian Agent by some on here and yet once they barbarically invaded of course I’m not going to side with Russia. And yes you are right there are two sides but there are more than two sides it’s all shades of grey and then some. I stand against the WEF, NATO, and the EU who helped instigate the war and I stand against the Russians for invading. I stand with the people who have their lives being ruined by the puppet masters intent on waging war for War Inc.

    @NatLife you are right it is about money. But in the end it is the citizens/ Ukrainian public who suffer. They do not gain from any of this. And In the same way I can’t change my corrupt government in the UK for something better and more tolerable the Ukrainians are unable to change theirs. I cringe at the left waving the Ukrainian flags as usually I never side with their causes. I feel though they are I’ll forget as time passes and move on to the latest message whereas the people living in Ukraine can’t forget as they endure air raid sirens daily.
