But Kharkiv is a city I will never forget, and it deserved to have its story told. It's a city that is both heartbreaking and heart-enriching. The scenes on the street will break you, and then the kindness and strength of the people still living there will show you what humanity is all about. Speaking of which, together we have raised $1500 through this series for Ukraine. I could not be more proud of this community ❤ -dan

As a citizen of Kharkiv I am so thankful for this video you did. When fullscale invasion started I was accidentally in Slovakia, my parents live there so I came to visit them for a week. I immidiatly wanted to come back to Kharkiv to help somehow, but rationality took charge and I decided to help our refugees to find a temporary home there. I know slovak language pretty good so I found a work as a barman. After 4 mounth spend there I was mentally destroyed by seeing this war from smartphone. At the end of august I've came back to my city. I was so happy to see my flat, my shelf with books and my country's flag resting above my bed. Now I am studying in university online and helping military with medicine a little bit. I wish I could help more, but university takes a lot of time. That's my story as you wish. Thank you again for your work. Freedom and Dignity will 100% win. Glory to Ukraine and Glory to the Heroes✊

I discovered you via your South American vids (really wonderful), and tonight, discovered this, and the rest of your Ukrainian vids. They are so incredibly powerful. On my channel, and IG, FB, Tik, and most relevant to this comment, Twitter, I've been doing a series of (mostly) daily (mostly) poetry readings. At the beginning of the invasion, I started regularly reading poetry from Ukrainian poets.I'm going to mention your amazing vids in tonight's reading, and I'll be putting a permanent link in my descriptions pointing to your channel. To be clear, I'm not telling you this for a quid pro quo, I simply want to spread as much awareness about Ukraine and its strong, resilient, and determined people, as I am able, and seeing their world through your eyes and their stories packs a powerful punch, and needs to be shared.

Hi Dan! I am from Kharkiv, spent the first 10 days of the war there. After had to take a hard decision to leave. My parents have been there the whole time, refusing to evacuate. Luckily it’s calmer now. Your depiction of today’s reality in my hometown brings up a bittersweet feeling, just as you mentioned, both heartbreaking but also inspiring. I am dreading and longing simultaneously the day I’ll be in Kharkiv again, as it’s a different city now. We say these days that Kharkiv is “zalizobeton” - reinforced concrete in Ukrainian, describing how the city is still standing proud despite the terror it has gone through. That is the reason why its so addictive when you are there, it’s true and honest. And that’s what I love about it, to answer your repeated question - you can be yourself in Ukraine and you know people are unapologetically themselves too. Ukraine is sincere and bold and raw. And it feels amazing. Your visit means a lot, as well as your reflections do - I’m happy people can take away something meaningful from our uneasy journey this last year. Many thanks for your support and this series!
