[@Dananuh]

Hey Bald, just so you know if your having issues with getting into Ukraine because of the Russian visa you can request an additional UK passport and the Passport Office should be able to provide you with one. Passports for travel to incompatible countries is one of the reasons why you can request an additional one, so although you cannot travel there now you might still be able to in future, hope this helps! 🙂

[@Ozymandias1]

Having an Israeli visa in your passport makes it difficult to visit some countries.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

They would probably find it just as suspicious. A dude looking like a Russian gangster trying to enter a country at war with a brand new passport, all blank pages... dunno... Seems exactly what Russian gangster would do lol.

[@Dananuh]

@@Im-just-Stardust No because if you get an additional UK passport it is not linked in anyway to your other passport, they can be used simultaneously. I mean yes they might still refuse entry if it is blank but its also used for frequent travellers as well so I wouldn't see it being an issue. The issue he has with his current passport is because of the Russian visa.

[@ottoreitstock2465]

Maybe they realized at the customs that he is that very famous blogger who very often travels to the Russian Federation and glorifies the Soviet past (in Ukraine it is a crime to glorify the USSR and its crimes), I think their actions are justified and the country is at war at the moment, so he legally was perceived as a threat.

@@9wowable Hi there; good advice, and I would have said something similar, but the problem also these days is that he may now be on a database as having been refused entry. That said, a second passport is a good idea for someone like Bald who has been to so many countries.

[@DICECLUB]

@@9wowable that's right! Grandad Moshe in the episode Only In Russia. I'm not 100% certain but I think Bald's mum or dad would have to get the Polish passport first and then, he can get one via them. The Polish passport cant go from his grandad to him.

Thank you good sir for what you're doing! Every video you produce and upload just feeds me with entertainment and I hope you realize that!

[@TheTruthKiwi]

I love how you can almost feel the atmosphere of the places Ben goes to. One thing we are missing is the smells, it's the aromas of places that makes them unique. Coming from England these places are different I'm sure but because England isn't that far away it's not that amazing. Watching from here in New Zealand however, everything seems incredibly exotic and almost as if it's on a different planet. Everything is just so normal down here which can be boring but I wouldn't change it for the world.

[@rajguleria3862]

truth is you are a different Planet ...there in down under ...how do you even claim that you live on earth ....!😅! If Bald were to go and see New Z that would be Epic ...with sheep and Kiwis & some Maori thrown in for drama !

[@BlueZirnitra]

I think you're overstating the relevance of smell and understating how important the visual is a bit. That's why you can feel a lot of the atmosphere, because you're seeing and hearing it, that's what videos do and is why we love them. Smell can be really important but sometimes it's not. Car exhaust smells the same everywhere, the whole of Italy doesn't smell like olive oil lol.

I was stopped in Lviv by military, they though I might be a draft dodger, but opon realizing I'm not Ukrainian they asked for my passport and first thing, checked if there's any Russian visas (I didn't have any so it wasn't a big deal) Point being, unless you get a new passport, your issues would not end at the border. Also I was also told to stop taking pictures in Odesa. All of which is understandable, but it's hard to imagine Bald being allowed to walk around Chernobyl with camera without attracting attention, and then when police would come and see his stamp that would cause similar (if not bigger) commotion that the one at the border.

[@dcarbs2979]

I don't see it ending any time soon (literally decades away). I can 3 possible scenarios to end the war: 1) Ukraine lose and becomes part of Russia 2) Putin gives up due to lack of resources or some other similar reason 3) Putin gets deposed by an internal coup. None are likely. Ukraine are being supported by western countries ad infinitim in terms of weapons, money and arms training. Putin would happily bankrupt Russia to achieve his military goals. Putin's connections are too close to be able to depose him. His closest circle are protectorates and loyal (AFAIK). The only way to end it is to have Putin out of power and the only way to do that is for him to die. If his successor has similar ambitions and political views, then it will continue on to the end of *his* lifetime too.
