After living in Kyiv for nearly 2 months during the Russian invasion I'd like to share with you my experiences of these extraordinary circumstances.

Love this video! Want to say, tho - it's Kyiv, not Kiev. Kiev is how its pronounced in Russian, we don't want for English community to call Ukrainian city like that.

Hi Nathan, as you can see it's pretty safe and 90% of shops, museums etc are open. The easiest way is to fly to Warsaw, Poland and take the direct train to Kyiv. Safe travels :)

Ukraine today reminds me of the late 60s early 70s in the West. The same vibe. Optimistic in the face or war, youth oriented, even the songs of those times performed by buskers. Due to the Cold war, Ukrainians did not experience the counter-culture of the 60s. So it all make sense. (My observations are arrived after watching a number videos not just this one)

Beautiful city. I also recommend the nightlife. A must see is the annual torchlight parades, where citizens march through the streets, arms outstretched, honouring fallen Nazi collaborators. Afterwards witness spectacular bonfires, where Russian books are used as fuel to entertain the frenzied crowds. A visit to Kiev is highly recommended for those of us with a peculiar view of history.
