My English is good too (it sounds weird when I say it myself, but I did study the language up to bachelor's degree level, so it's one of the few things I am confident in). Every single American I have met and talked to didn't believe me at first when I told them I never lived in the US or any other English-speaking country. It's so weird to me haha. I wish I could do more to end this war myself, but all I can do is donate & hope someone stops Putin soon...

​@@bogdanplumb5007 nice to have a sensible comment, I agree, it is impossible for anyone born PRE iron curtain to understand or know how to deal with it. The last 30 years was an attempt to allow them freedom to adapt their gov't. Instead they cont'd while the youth had what they didn't. THe young generation grew with eyes of a free world, what they didn't realise was their leaders were licking their wounds from the past and they will never heal, not then, not now. The world moved on for the 70 years that the corrupt sapped what little opportunity was left in the people and they came out. And one has to say it, they were all supported by other greedy people around the world. There is no one race that is pure, we all have our poor, our corrupt and we have our righteous and civil serving people. Blame or finger pointing only perpetuates the crimes, a united people however, you are not. There must be countless people too ashamed to admit the past or the present and prefer to survive without their free speech, and their voices are cut. Slava UA - Enable humanitarianism, disable tyrants, allow the impoverished their human rights to live peaceful and free. Support each other to achieve economic stability and build ministries that are independent of heads of state for the people.

So yeah, OBVIOUSLY there are SOME normal everyday Russian people who have something to do with the invasion. Don't be stupid. BUT, there are OTHERS who don't. Furthermore, just because there are SOME who support their government invading Ukraine, doesn't mean that they are bad people or that the deserve to have their life savings ruined. The majority of Russians who support the war are still good people, and are victims of their government's decision, even if they support that decision.

Its not geopolitical, study it a bit and you will see. Baltic states are already in NATO, they dont need Ukraine if they want to aim at Russia. Putin even made it clear that hes up to the Czar times, that means Alaska should be back to Russia too. Putin needs a war, thats how he got in power. Study why Jelcin made from the shades Putin president, study the first Chechnya war and the ''terrorist'' attack in Moscow, whom the muslims are blamed not FSB. I spended so much thous days about this topic cus I have friends in Russia as well in Ukraine, and Im from Bosnia and Herzegovina who had war 30 years ago. At the bitter end, Moscow today is not bombed, its Ukraine by Russias led Putin, he has nukes, only Russians can stop him but since they support him and he is a de facto dictator, hardly this gonna end so soon. Since this, everyone wants join NATO and EU, its not that they are expanding as everyone wants to get away from Moscow, just as it was during the collapse of the Warshaw pact. GDP or Russia is almost like the state of Texas, Bangladesh has more population than Russia, Russia is the biggest country in the world and had border wars with every country including China many times. Its not about NATO, what u people think ? That nuking a capital city makes it a target no.

Excuses. Russia should never have invaded Ukraine.

[@Bothandle70]

@@Jopa955 this is a geopolitical issue. You are confusing geopolitics with war. Putin doesn't fear war with NATO. Russia NATO war will never happen because of the nukes. Putin, being the one in power, doesn't want western influence in politics of Russia(or of its neighbour countries). While Russia GDP might be low, they have huge resources. Its interesting to see how Putin will handle the sanctions. Iran did fairly well, Russia is in much better position than Iran was. Will this mark the end of Russia as a threat to the western interests or will it grow bigger, we'll have to wait and see. If Putin could somehow unite Russia, India and China using this conflict, it will create a new age in world order for better or worse. Every single country in this conflict have made terrible decisions so far escalating it more and more. Ukrainian citizens are the biggest losers in this war with almost nothing to gain. EU countries(Germany and Italy specially) will lose a lot too. US and China are the clear winners.

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

@@GTX311 The point really is… Russia did not invade Ukraine… Putin‘s army invaded Ukraine. During World War II the Japanese imperial army invaded China… Not Japanese citizens. It will work too it’s the Nazis that were held responsible for atrocities and Germany paid the price.

Asian Boss thank you for doing this interview. It's always important to hear views from both sides, not from experts or politicians, but from people who are affected by this war. Like one of the interviewee mentioned, anything Russian will be sanctioned. I'm from NYC, there are many Russia and Ukrainian businesses here. I also have Ukrainian and Russia friends but there's no animosity between them. One of my Jewish Russian friend owns a store and people have avoided buying from them despite his family fleeing Russia in the 70s. I understand that people are angry and want to blame someone, but it's definitely wrong to ostracize Russians who have nothing to do with the war. We still haven't learned from history.

Но у меня есть несколько друзей, которые потеряли рабочие места или финансирование, потому что это были филиалы иностранных компаний. Моя мама работает в фирме, большей частью функционирующей на импорте и экспорте, и если вы считаете, что рост курса валют некритичен, то вы очень сильно заблуждаетесь. Моя подруга нуждается в зарубежных лекарствах и периодическом обследовании, которое она теперь не может получить, потому что больше эти лекарства в страну не поставляют, и данные аппараты в России не производятся. Некоторые предприятия уже перестают работать, потому что нет сырья или запчастей для оборудования. И это только то, что я знаю от близких мне людей, а какое количество всего я еще не вижу - большой вопрос.

Also shouldn't we be sceptical hearing the voices of people who left their motherland? Obviously Ukrainian would never admit actions against Donetsk publically now. But if you search interviewa in Ukraine 2-4 years ago you will be surprised that that fact were recognized.

"Putin is not Russia" That really hit me. What a beautiful thing to say.

[@Tiberiumgod]

Russia and the Russian people gave birth to this misunderstanding called Putin. When they were able to kill people in other countries with impunity, they were fine with it! Now they are crying that they have no money, but no one is shooting and killing them in the streets. Should they tolerate it, or should only Ukrainians suffer? If they have no money, they'd better start working on their own country, instead of destroying other peoples. Believe me, the Russians would not feel sorry for you.

[@AlexDruyan]

You interviewed people from both sides, which is nice, but they all shared the same opinion and ideology. It would be more interesting to hear what people who disagree with this opinion have to say. And not only Russians, there are also people in Ukraine who will disagree with what have been said in this interview.

Hello! You can watch the reports of an American journalist, his name is Patrick Lancaster. For example, his video on youtube dated June 26, 2022: First Look Into Russian Controlled Kharkiv Region Ukraine (Special Report) - «Как обстоят дела в контролируемой Россией Харьковской области Украины (специальный репортаж)». There he interviews people who are on the territory of Ukraine, Kharkiv region. Also neutral, as in this video, under which I am writing a comment. There is also a very good BBC report from 2014 - года «Why do some Ukrainians want to be part of Russia? BBC News» - interviews with people living in Ukraine near the border with Russia. View from both sides of the conflict.

Thank you for what you're doing ❤I have a very small channel, but just about to preface my next video about the situation. I see a lot of people i follow keeping posting their regular videos and saying nothing.... that feels weird to me. Gotta say something. (I'm in Canada. I understand Russian KZbinrs have to be extra careful if not silent for their safety at the moment, Was talking about American & European KZbinrs, etc, not talking about it much... Which is just weird to me. We"re one wolrd. Ukraine, or any country it would happen to, I would feel the same. It's terrible to see these people suffering, and other people oppressed and their freedom of speech taken away).

[@anubisanibus9347]

Any other country? Are you worried about casualties in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Palestine and a bunch of other wars, or are the people there not white enough?

[@mr.n0ne]

already many ordinary Russians are facing difficulties due to current happening, its not surprising that most interviewed said similar things. Would have been great if opinions of other side was also included. Korea itself has probably the highest experience of dealing and balancing relationship with world powers.

[@gogoromeo]

I have watched Asian boss for almost 3 years and could not imagine that if it have a video about Russia it would be not about something good we did, but about the war we started. As a Russian person I have great respect for Ukrainian president, he is my hero and i would like to have a president like that. But in Russia we don't have real elections, freedom of speech and as i understand in a few month we will be totally cut off Internet and world. they say we need to risk our lives and protest, but nobody wants to go to jail for 15 years and it would change nothing. We are like Afghanistan now. It is impossible even to say 'war' and i can be arrested for this comment. We became poor in two weeks, I lost my job in advertising (who needs ad now anyway?) and a lot of people lost their jobs too and more to come. But still i feel guilt and in shock that Russian army invade Ukraine, kill innocent people there. The dictator we have as a president gone mad and i only hope someday he and all of his friends would be arrested and judged as a criminals and our taxes will go not for war, but for repairing Ukrainian cities.

[@cathyyu459]

This interview asked good questions as always. It is sad to see both side of people did not agree with the war but the war still happened. But it also showed how ordinary people are blind to what was happening in the past and what their politicians have done. From the answers of Ukrainian s it is clear that this war is inevitable. It is really a tragedy.

[@marcor6769]

That is an odd conclusion to come to based on any of the answers of both Russian & Ukrainians interviewed. The exact opposite is true, that this war was indeed avoidable and not inevitable. Perhaps that is what you meant and it's a mistranslation because no other conclusion is possible.

These are ex pats though. The Russians in particular are living outside of the influence of Russian propaganda so will have a different outlooks from Russians living in Russia.

[@user-uq8yh6sp4m]

I am Russian. I am against the war. I want peace in over the world. BUT it is very strange that the interviewees were encountered near a pro-Ukraine anti-war protest. Moreover, I find some questions are not broad-minded. It is necessary to consider the situation from different sides, and not just one. I hope it ends soon🙏

[@jillthompson6110]

On the other hand, most Russian people living in South Korea pretty much are overwhelmingly against Putin's war. Maybe because they have access to the world news that they didn't in Russia. Or maybe they're the kind of people who left Russia because they couldn't stand the dictatorship in Russia.

[@tkk0o]

@@jillthompson6110 precisely. The Russians in Russia are either completely brainwashed or too scared to put their heads above the parapet. Unfortunately, only 10 million Russians losing their livelihoods by this autumn because of sanctions can cause a shake-up in the putrid brine of Russian politics and force a change of leadership. And even then, do not expect doves in power there. Just a lesser russo-fascist who will try to dampen the economic losses and avoid a complete collapse of the state.

This is great . . . thank you, Asian Boss! This hits home for me as I grew up in a church community which included Ukrainians, Russians and immigrants from the Balkans -- most of whom had come to the US escaping dictatorial regimes. That was 60 years ago. However, here we are (STILL) being held hostage by autocratic, nationalist personalities out to divide and bring harm their own peoples.

[@Tearless93]

I'm sorry, but this statement that "people are suffering on both sides" is kinda offending for me to hear. one thing that your money isn't avaliable for you to freely use it and completely other thing is when you get a missile in your appartment/house. these two things are absolutely incomparable. if you think that Ukrainians don't have trouble with money these days, you're wrong. A LOT of people have lost their jobs due to this war, and because of the battles in southern and eastern regions of Ukraine (which means there's no way to transport foods and stuff from that regions to other) the prices in stores skyrocketed. Salesman from ocupated territories are forbidden to sell their products in Kyjiw or anywhere else so they MUST throw away the goods they have planted and harvested... I totally understand that many Russians really don't support this barbarism, but there are also people (what frightens me the most - there are women among them), who are being supportive of the situation and even encourage Russian soldiers (their husbands, brothers, sons etc) to kill and rape women/NEWBORN children and even men.... I just hope this nightmare ends as quickly and as less painful as possible.....
