British Filmmaker’s Shocking Journey Through War-Torn Ukraine

[@margaritatimashova1951]

Oh my.. i left Kherson in march 2022, being 4 months pregnant and haven't been there since. The thought of seeing my city deserted and the streets i walked empty and almost lifeless hurts me so much. Thank you, Caolan, for these stories, for being so strong, so devoted, and so open. You are doing way more for my city and my country than i have ever done❤. Thanks, Corrie, for inviting and interviewing ❤

[@olena_veleshchuk]

Thank you for the episode and for standing with us in Ukraine.

[@nataliyasorokous2291]

It's the first time since 2022 I feel like being completely understood by non-native ukrainians. Every word, every phrase, is the absolute truth. For almost 3 years had a feeling that my country is screaming, but nobody hears or doesn't care. Thank you for describing this awful war as it is without diplomatic bullshit. Thank you for voicing out that the West is too slow, too uncertain.. We are asking for weapons and more help not because we are ungrateful, but because it's a matter of our existence. it's the everyday terror from the terrorists who are governed by terrorist state. Thank you for declaring that russian propaganda is extremely underestimated. And it's time to face the reality and to fight it as the part of the war. And it's not only Ukraine, that it attacks, but all normal world, humanity, democracy, and values of developed nations. And it's not only putin but all russians who are responsible because they kill and support killing. Human rights are neglected by them, so they have to be treated accordingly. Thank you for being the voice of truth outside of Ukraine. What amazed me the most- the mix of desperation and sadness because of the war horrors and inspiration and admiration of nature, beauty, culture ❤ That's what gives us strength and makes us unbreakable.

[@AvatarSD]

As Ukrainian I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for true and only true at describing how much this war disrupt us as a society and how wordwide things interconnect with each other! Hello from Brovary, 💛💙

[@murmea_meoi]

Thank you for not turning away from our pain 🙏

[@Newton_vad]

Thanks Caolan for touching and heartbreaking stories and for discovering Ukraine. And thanks to Corrie for hosting.

[@bethanyrae001]

Wow, thank you, both of you for this interview. Thank you, Caolan, for your love for people and for truth. Your actions show that you love others, and are serving them, not yourself. You will disagree, saying that you are selfish. But your actions and words do count. I pray that you will survive, will tell the right stories to the right people, and that their hearts will be turned. Praying, too, that you will discover more truth and continue to have your eyes opened. Guard yourself against the forces of evil and against the effects of trauma. Take care of yourself, too.

[@tanyabandurko9646]

Wow! This is one of the most powerful interview on this podcast! Thank you, Caolan for what you do for Ukraine! Please stay safe 💙💛

[@TheGazeDigitalPlatform]

Thank you for your kind words! Please share this and other videos to help spread the reality of Ukraine to as many people as possible

[@annashabaieva2027]

OMG this video should be spread! thank you so much for understanding and seeing war in Ukraine and what actually going on so clearly and helping to get more people to get it right as well

[@TheGazeDigitalPlatform]

We completely agree and would appreciate it if you could share this video

[@dannydetonator]

@TheGazeDigitalPlatform We should and we will (i don't use other social networks for now). I also suggest sharing Caolan's own videos and subscribing to his chanell. Especially the "interview" with Nick Shirley, i've shared it everywhere i could. I'll do what i can for The Gaze too and hope all of you get "controversial" enough to go viral. Otherwise it's mostly preaching to the choir.

[@sashad.7722]

I now want to watch Under Deadly Skies. To my shame never heard of it🙈 Thank you for supporting Ukraine💙💛 Слава Україні

[@gizmozd]

We should have mainstream media reporting and talking about all this. Not just a few good people who cares enough.

[@camdieperink5722]

Thanks for the insight into what is going on in Ukraine, from a human perspective Slava Ukraine

[@tamarasidlartchouk3138]

Huge gratitude and admiration to Caolan for his courage, humanity, extraordinary commitment to Ukraine! 💙💛

[@alinathechick]

very touching interview

[@BankC6969]

Dang. One of my first watches on your channel and wow. 🤯 I’m American and I had no idea that Caolin was ever part of tenet media. I’m so glad that he’s reformed! Corrie, I’ll be watching as much as possible. Excellent content!! 💯💙💛🇺🇦

[@lorrainebartosh475]

Love, love, love this interview. Interesting story about Caolan's past, to his time now in Ukraine and the heartfelt stories that that he tells. I, like Caolan was on the verge of tears at times. What is happening in Ukraine and to the lovely people is so sad and unjust. Thank you Corrie for hosting Caolan and both of you stay safe. 💙💛,

[@cogito125]

the conversation and you both are absolutely stunning ❤ thank you for standing with and for ukrainian people and basically truth of this horrible war

[@IrynaFlorida]

Amazing interview! Thank you for your love to Ukraine and please stay forever ❤

[@Julia-mr3yo]

Amazing interview! Many thanks

[@EvaBurkhart-y2y]

As an American who was born and raised in Kherson, it’s really hard watching this…I have always said that Kherson is a very special place with incredible, humble, kind, caring, and resilient people. In fact, I have never met anyone like them anywhere else in Ukraine. Khersoners are the definition of “goodness” and “humility”. It’s heartbreaking seeing my beautiful town being erased and these pure hearted people murdered just for being Ukrainian. Many of my friends and family are still there, including my childhood friend who is a doctor. It pains me seeing him in a bulletproof vest when he has to tend to wounded civilians; he is almost unrecognizable now (a true Hero and a Man)….Thank you for telling their stories as it seems that my city has been abandoned by both the government and media

[@thebewlaybrothers]

What an excellent interview. What a bright mind Coalan is and how he manages to tell the most heartbreaking stories without crying is beyond my imagination. The whole world should see this and listen closely to understand what this brutal russian war on Ukraine really means and learn what Ukrainians are about and why we must do everything to safe this beautiful country and its citizens from genocidal terrorism. A big thank you to both of you! Slava Ukraini 💙💛

A very rare case when a young man is right in almost everything he said. It is very nice that he is here in Ukraine.

[@shrewbuffet]

Yes. It gives me hope.

[@pacifist9805]

It's so rare to see western journalists or any foreigners living in Ukraine and educating outsiders from outsiders viewpoint. At least in youtube there hasn't been many.

[@genbure9908]

Thank you both... powerful and profound... incredible both, for all you do for Ukraine 🇺🇦🔱💙 Caolan... empath through and through, take care, stay safe & vigilant wherever you leave your 'foot prints'.

[@miasfonas5033]

Guys, I appreciate sooo much what you do. I couldn't imagine someone outside Ukrainian society can understand the real reason of this war so deeply. And I didn't expect someone can be so empathetic to us. This is the first time I've ever seen you, but I feel so much love and appreciation! Thank you for sharing the truth ❤

[@JoeyVegas13]

Fantastic guest - loved his "redemption arc".

[@EvaBurkhart-y2y]

My friend is a journalist and he wore a press jacket. He made a wrong turn in Donbas, was captured and tortured for days until they finally released him.

[@bazhi22]

Thank you for your job and support ❤❤❤

[@AnnBlackburn-c7u]

Wonderful! I live in Wisconsin and am so horrified by the Russian takeover here and fighting it as I am able. Please get this interview out to every member of Congress and the senate. To the White House. People are being silenced by the dark lords of the internet. And kept in Soviet style mind fuck by them as well. I love Caolan’s work. He gets trump is Putins guy. I love Ukraine too. And say glory to its heroes. People like you. Love you. Keep breaking down the barriers in the west.

[@albinakorniienko4086]

Friends! I am impressed by how you foreigners correctly understood what is happening in Ukraine and our mentality, and the mentality of the Russians. I am moved! Take care of yourself! We believe in our victory, the victory of good over evil! And I am happy that we have such friends! You are always welcome in Ukraine❤🇮🇪🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@Lunichka_Disha]

Corrie and Caolan, thank you both so much for your powerful and honest words in this video! I hope it reaches far and wide, opening many eyes to the reality of this war. Ukrainians are paying a huge price, giving precious time for the EU and USA to continue their peace and happiness. This conflict has already pulled in North Korea… who’s next? Iran? It’s a lot for Ukrainians to bear,...... Thank you for helping the world see this truth!

[@mvjh2277]

12:22 Favorite idea to take away, that the West can learn from Ukraine.

[@rffromusa8319]

Fundamentally broken. Perfect explanation of the ruski mir. You get it young man!

[@victoriakyivua6929]

51:00 i couldn’t even imagine that anyone from the foreign country can understand that deep whats actually going on. Caolan has been here for not really long time but his thoughts and conclusions… he feels our country.. this is such a gift to have people like him here in UA during the war.

[@thes_eus]

Tremendous respect for documenting everything and speaking up.

[@vitolobo211]

When two foreign dudes just talk so warm about my country…it’s something, guys. Thank you for spreading the word about Ukraine and for being here. Hope you’ll keep enjoying our beautiful country ❤

[@irynakalychak6821]

Thank you for telling the truth about the atrocities committed by the russians in Ukraine. I wish more people would listen to this!

[@gts4373]

Huge thank you! Ukrainian news and getting like just background. Special thank you for mentioning Kherson.. it's so true... Russian bastards tortures usual people, cars with drones.. abd that recent case at marke. I grew up there abd my parents are at the left bank occupied. Living in Europe i usually hear nothing about Kherson..it hursts. So true "life is draining out of.."😢. Surely it's not only Kherson, let alone fully destroyed towns.. it's so important to depict and convey what is going on. Huge thank for egat you do!!! 🙏👏👍

[@Myqwertyira]

🇺🇦💙💛 Thank you so much for loving Ukraine!

[@G0ldfingers]

You know i think Caolan should go to Washington and ask the Administration what's the difference between ISIS and the Russians and why they declare war on Terror after the Twin Towers came down, and Article 5 on terror but don't treat the Russian State in the same way.

[@dannydetonator]

Countries like mine on Russia's western border have given Russia an official designation as a "terrorist state". Doesn't mean much in the larger picture, but it's a political statement and helps to interpret local legislation, like in Kremlin's collaborator cases, etc. For now only local legislation, but it have to go global.

[@olegoleg2355]

Great interview, great discussion 💯. I find it especially attractive to start with irish/ukrainian comparisons, great idea.

Thankyou for this is so much what I need to hea ! r am a Ukrainian illustrator muralist musician much to be done to remind us of our humanity and truth

[@Vixctor13]

When I thought the Russians couldn't get any worse, I get a nasty surprise.

[@RafWalton]

Didn't realise he was a right winger before. Makes him even more impressive now. This dudes an absolute stud! Stay safe brother.

[@G0ldfingers]

I think young Caolan is wrong about his best ability being film making, i think his future is in Podcasts, diplomat or Politician.

Lauren Southern was one of the 6 content creators for Tenet Media- she hasn't managed to break out of the russian propaganda bubble... why is it so difficult to reach people who are supposed to be informed about the world?

[@jetfighter200]

7:38 ah the "white phosphorus " myth again..its Incendiary rockets with a Magnesium cups filled with a Thermite-type mixture and not phosphorus....

[@TheGazeDigitalPlatform]

It's all surrounded by myths. Even Russia’s attack on Ukraine is a myth. In reality, it’s Ukraine that attacked Russia. Everyone knows that... Everyone who watches Russian propaganda. Meanwhile, real Ukrainian soldiers end up in real hospitals with phosphorus burns.

[@besconst]

it's just misconception, like naming every armoured vehicle - a tank, magnesium is even more "effective" than white phosphorous. using incendiary charges in populated area is a war crime no matter what chemicals it concised

[@dannydetonator]

No, it's both. There is around thousand cases documented of Russisns using chemical weapons in this war, and i don't know if WP is included in these stats (hard to tell but seems mustard gas or other irritants and neurotoxins are used). However they have used WP charges extensively on frontlines, which depending on intention can be not a warcrime. They have shitloads of that stuff since Soviet times and are producing the cheapest stuff they can get. There is absolutely no reason why they wouldn't use it on civilian areas, it's their doctrine. You can easily tell apart if it's magnesium or phosphorus incendiaries from the fire pattern, but it makes no big difference, even if WP is worse.

[@EvaBurkhart-y2y]

Come to Ukraine and experience these “myths”. It shouldn’t be a problem for you since it’s all imaginary

[@EvaBurkhart-y2y]

Then come to Ukraine since it’s all a “myth” and enjoy a nice stroll down the streets of Kramatorsk and Kherson.

[@odin9215]

Awesome stories and experiences.
