Leaving Kyiv On A Refugee Train 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 With reports that the city of Kyiv was soon to be closed off I decided the best thing to do was to join the crowds and leave for the border before being stuck. Whilst it was a sad to see the people leaving their homes behind and taking their kids and pets with them towards an uncertain future it also showed the best of the people. Spirits were high, nobody panicked, people shared food and drinks with each other. It was humbling to be a part of it.

It would never be that calm in the US or Western Europe. People would be hysterical. They already lose their minds easily over small trivialities. I couldn't image the absolute chaos if this was happening in New York or London. Too much diversity. Luckily Ukraine is very homogenous with a singular culture so the social cohesion is therefore much higher and more stable.

A guy with a camera filming himself while leaving the country is hardly "reporting".

There are hundreds of actual reporters still in the country filing their reports daily to media worldwide. I don't know what kind of media you're consuming, but actual reporters have been talking to everybody from regular people to the president.

[@Superdelphinus]

@@saschamaj completely agree. Honestly I can’t stand these sort of comments - as if a completely unregulated, unqualified youtuber who left the area before much happened is going to be able to provide more accurate ‘reporting’ than a seasoned, resourced professional (and very brave)reporter who’s actually there.
