I'm from Kharkiv and I had to leave my lovely city February 25 , 2022, with my husband and our kid, packing all our life in a bag 😭. Thank you for videos. We appreciate a lot. We dream to return home one day. 💛💙
I hope you can come home safely soon enough!
I m Ukrainian and i m hooked with your videos from Kharkiv. i m in EU now, Jesus, i cant describe how much i miss home. ..thank you for sharing your trip
Glad you like them! I'm happy to be able to make it for you and everyone who's outside of Ukraine now.
I’m a Ukrainian Canadian and I love the cold! That city is beautiful!
It’s not even cold there, but you got Johnny acting like a big baby as usual… lol 😂
He’s all bundled up like the Abominable Snowman and reacting like it’s -70C, but in the second before he heads into the cafe someone passes him by on the sidewalk wearing a spring jacket which isn’t done up all the way, and no scarf, hat, or balaclava… 😂😂😂
Yup, 2C in Stockholm right now. Wish we had like -10/15 like we had a couple of weeks ago. Now I wear a long sleeved sweater and my summer jacket 👌
Cant handle the Cold so escaped to Almeria till Spring ....
I love the cold too.
@@MikeOxlong- if your not from a cold country ur body will react different
The Kharkiv videos are my favourites, even though the recent ones are really painful to watch. I hope you can get back when you wish, I think part of your Ukrainan identiy is in Kharkiv, as you went there before, you seem really happy with your experiences here. I think 5 y from now this city will be even more beautiful and cultural. You know, like artists who undergo dark periods in their life, they are the most creative and makes most beauty. Kharkiv will rise from its ashes 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The name of the shop where Jonny bought the pullover / hoodie and t shirt is Numo (нумо) in the center of Kharkiv.
Greetings from Seattle Johnny, thanks for sharing. I think the apartment looks just fine, it is functional and spacious. If I were in Ukraine I would rent it.
I think you should get a shirt embroidered with “I’m starving guys.”
🇺🇦💙🇺🇸
From the looks of him, he’s definitely not starving.
@@kneehowma4474 that’s hilarious, he does love his food.
Johnny.... 30:52 great pronunciation !!! Proszę bardzo in behalf of all polish people !!!
Keep on doing a fantastic job and of course a big ehawww from Seattle !!!
Excellent content as always, Johnny! I adore your Kharkiv series. They are so interesting & heart-warming.
Cheers from Dnipro! Come visit it someday!
The bravery of the Ukrainian people and volunteers amazes me glory to Ukraine glory to the volunteers
I love how you show Ukraine and it is great entertainment too. I was born in Ternopil and raised in California since 5 years old and I enjoy all your Ukraine and travel content so very much.
Funny thing is Kharkiv is Russian speaking and back Russia, so I dont know why this dude walks around saying fuck russia.
I guess you may have trouble renting your apartment Johnny until some normality returns. I know you mentioned air b and b but would there be demand for that given the situation? You might just to have to settle for a local keeping an eye on the property and take the hit on rental income in the short term.
Johnny from someone that grew up in Chicago before climate change and has experienced Kiev in January with minus -16 C days. I am imploring you just to go and pay for some warm winter gear, so you can enjoy a winter day outside in the cold weather.
We have had even -30 once in 8 -10 year.. we are luck this winter is not so cold
First, you will get used to the cold. Second, to do that you need to buy a Columbia or NorthFace jacket for -40C. You don't need to spend more than a few hundred dollars, if not less for the correct coat. After you've spent a couple of winters in a row in the winter, your blood vessels will lay deeper under your skin and you'll be more muscular. It will be easier to be cold.
try some Chinese down
Hoodies under your winter jacket are the BEST for staying warm in the extreme cold Johnny. Putting the hood up over a knit hat is MUCH warmer. Stay safe and be well!
As a Norwegian. you should invest in a good winter jacket
20:02 Johnny you should give that portrait to Ben 41:55 Groucho, my favorite comedian!
Thank you very much Johnny for this beautiful video of my beloved Kharkiv. It looks so cool even being wounded. I love it so much and miss it. A true European city.
What do you mean by a true european city? As in architecture ?
@@admiralrusty9359 European yes.
@@admiralrusty9359 architecture as well, in this video it looks a kind of modern+some older buildings in the streets, which are clean, and unfortunately deserted. yes I don't like all those motley signboards, ads etc. hope it will change soon, it is changing. Russians destroyed many soviet style architecture stuff. Have you ever been to Kharkiv ?
It's littery a soviet city, nothing European about it
@@alexLEE-qy7yfwell, it's your point of view, but many streets have buildings built before 1917, which has nothing to do with the Soviets. And it's cleaned and swept everywhere and everyday.
I like the sweatshirt. Beautiful city & nice coffee shops. God Bless them. Pamela
@johnnyfd, you need to share the website and socials of that cool shop where you got the hoodie.
The guy was clearly a handyman, not a skilled carpenter or roofer. His work may be functionally fine but it looks really sloppy. I'm particularly concerned about the work he did to patch the roof. He used old rusty corrugated metal, which looks terrible, instead of new corrugated to repair the roof, and considering the sloppiness of his work who knows how well he sealed the edges: I guess rainstorms will see if it leaks. At some point, I recommend you have a skilled roofer rip out the rusty corrugated and put in new corrugated, and paint it to match the adjacent corrugated roofing. And have a skilled carpenter rip out the room ceiling patch and do a proper job of repairing it to match the rest of the ceiling tiles. As for the counter sides, looks like that needs sanding and repainting. All in all, the work the handyman did will hopefully function well as temporary fixes until you can get skilled people in to redo the work.
Johnny, all you have to do is buy a jacket corresponding to the weather. It's not about not being strong as Ukrainian😌) It's about taking winter seriously😬. I get cold very easily and my winter clothes are better than those of a polar bear and I abandon all thoughts of wanting to be beautiful and sh*t like that))) It's survival. You do what you gotta do) I remember one guy said my sweater was like his granny's and I literally didn't care as that day in Kharkiv it was rare minus 27C temperature. And I have yet to see a single really warm sweater on you. Oh, and warm shoes and socks too. Just equip yourself and you will be able to enjoy winter in Ukraine more, I guarantee.
For example, we bought for my husband a thick jacket in Under Armour in Kyiv's Gulliver. It was around 100-150 dollars (before the invasion though)
Did you check your floorboards underneath for mold since it rained and was wet for a while?
You know one thing I been following Johnny for the longest off and on, if he don't smart up, may ended up in big crap one of this days, i been following sence THAILAND, and I do like what I see, at times I don't, I'm not gonna lie, Slava Ukraine!!
I think it's a good time to buy an apartment in Kharkiv now! lol
Your take on this is very important, I feel like coming from a country that really didn't had war in close quarters in centuries. I just feel I would have had the same attitude in any country I was in. In a world that most things feels surreal, your take on this feels familiar.
Johnny FD, your new shirt says "the russian pigs are fucked"
Thank you for everything that you do. You support Ukrainians all over the world and our country, you teach the world about Ukraine, you are great and I hope to meet you someday in Ukraine or Southern California.
It’s a good saying. ☺️
I hope to visit one of the five hundred of johnny's favourite coffee shops one of these days.
John the Netherlanths here !.Tthey saying that the largest rusian offensive has started is it treu ?.
Complaining about -5C, & in dry climate??.. Seriusly, what you need is to learn how to choose clothes & dress in a non-tropic environment..
Our local Ukrainian refugees are from suburban Kharkiv. Not going home until things change.
Greetings from 🇬🇧👍🏻😀
Who in their right mind sprays with aerosol cans inside? You could have done a better job with a paint brush and white paint yourself.
So you were still there when those horrible attacks occurred! I am glad you are okay! That was definitely close to you. Way too close! Be safe!
He did a good job on the roof with the matching panel and waterproofing ....with the hole in the ceiling would have been better to stuff with insulation and then foam .....and trowel some Plaster of Paris to hide the Hole.... .Good enough ....lease it out
Thank You for the Kharkiv series Videos......
The roof wasn't done properly. The foam will degrade under UV light in a few months.
what restaurants were those?
Thanks Johnny. Your dedication to ending this war is heart-warming and I wish it happens soon. The bombings are too close, be safe.
That jacket looks too light for a European winter let alone an Ukrainian winter which is even colder than in many other parts of Europe.
Hi Johnny, wearing layers is best in the cold weather. Even you will find that one of those t-shirts will help to keep you warm.
Some of the most attractive women in Ukraine come from Kharkov. The girls that were celebrating their birthday are an example of this. Not only are they attractive but they are very kind and good natured.
I am happy to see you leaving Kharkov as it seems to me that Russia might step up their attacks in that region as spring nears. Safe and happy travels.
Kharkiv. No ‘O’…
@@MikeOxlong- it is correct to spell either way
@@jamesgowing3856 it is only if you like russification.
@@MikeOxlong- I have been in Ukraine and traveled around the whole country. Even Crimea. Ukrainians living in Kharkov previously advised me that either spelling is ok.
Russians are run by a dickhead. Doesn't mean Russian Ukrainian spelling of things needs to be dismissed or ignored.
@1:10 the poor old dog....hope someone is looking after him 😟
I hope so too ... could be his owners were forced to flee and couldn't take it with them ? I'll bet he has seen a lot
@@Sean-gf7kj yes, that's what it looked like...somebody's pet
So very grateful to/for you!!!❤ Please be safe!❤️🙏🌹
You don't need a Canada Goose jacket for 25 degrees. A $70 Columbia jacket, warm gloves, long underwear, warm hat and scarf will suit you down to -5F (-21C) just fine.
@@Elatenl Huh he has like 8 jackets. I only have 3 besides my business suits. A fall jacket for yard work, a very warm columbia I sweat in every time and a wool peacoat for just keeping me warm between doors.
Thank you so much. Im originally from Kharkiv, your content now makes one of the most interesting stories for me.
I definitely love your jokes about HTZ. Thank you for being on a “bright side”).
I feel so sorry about your temporary loses in Kharkiv. I believe it will come back with a great profit to you one day.
For me, a youtube subscriber, tou are now close to be a messiah, sharing your experience and support to local people. Thank you!
PS My greetings to Bald)
Awesome, thank you!
Don't sink anymore money into it. It's fixed, done. Might not be there in the future.
Just last year this city was full of international students from all over the world.. about ten thousand of them... Now not one !
I saw one actually. He came back to get his stuff from his dorm. But wasn't even going to stay the night.
@@JohnnyFD its a sad story. Thank you for showing us what Putin army did to this city!
Thank you
Johnny you are so brave being there and all you’ve done with you charity work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗
Just curious...what made you choose to move to and settle down in Ukraine? Looking back at your old Thailand videos, it seems like you were living a pretty good life there.
Thailand was fantastic, but there wasn't a good way to get residency there before you're 50 years old. Here's more: www.johnnyfd.com/2021/04/why-i-bought-property-in-ukraine.html
I'm from Wisconsin born and raised and STILL HATE the cold but I deal with it bc Wisconsin is beautiful ! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Thank you Johnny. My mother was from Kharkiv, but I never got the chance to visit.
I never use spray paint. Always a paint brush for a small job like that. And a roller for walls etc.
Actually I was surprised that there was no better iron to repair be the roof with... Or was that not rust on those sheets?
A trench coat that's lined with a warm liner will help keep your whole body warm. There are inexpensive trench coats that are lined. In warmer weather you can take the lining out. You'd look like a business mogul and less sporty in such a coat but they don't cost $7,000 more like $100 to $170.
You’re a good guy, Johnny. God bless❤
-5 degrees,it's like SF in July
Key to keeping warm. Sweater under coat, warm hat ,scarf , gloves and some good warm boots. This we’ll keep you warmer! You. Need to not think about being cold and learn how to enjoy winter. From a Wisconsinite
For that apartment I would tear everything out, fix the roof properly and then do a simple minimalistic place, not with all those tiles and tape on the wall etc...
Camp a full Fall, Winter and Spring on a cold mountain. It'd acclimate you so much it's unbelievable. Key thing to do is be prepared.
Love those volunteers. Great guys and passionate. I hope they will be my Valentine. ♥ Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava
Have you considered to open a small business in Ukraine but something small like a Coffee/fast food truck?
He already lives from passive income. What's the point to risk and spend time on it?
The sugar in your yogurt even if it is sugar free but sweet will cause a change in your insulin and cause fat to be stored. I have my noodles too that are a variety of Korean spicy noodles but haven't touched them cause I'm on a no carb no sugar no processed no sweetener low fruit sugar diet. Oranges are okay.
Better to have plain unsweetened yogurt and add low sugar fruits like raspberries and blackberries. Instead of a noodle soup you could make a soup that uses eggs and Chinese cabbage, onions, bell peppers. That would be a very good no carb meal. Think out of the box and make soups with no noodles. An egg soup is way better for you than a package of Asian noodles. You could use the spice packet out of the Asian noodle soup and toss out the noodles.
I have either a can of mackerel, some grass fed ground beef, ground lamb or chicken. Grass fed beef is way more nutritious than regular beef. Pasture raised eggs are way more nutritious than unpasture raised chicken eggs. Organic is better because when a cow eats grains that have pesticides then you eat that in the beef fat; whereas, beef organically fed with grass makes clean fat and nutritious meat. Salmon and Mackerel are a good source of fish oil which is very healthy to eat and nutritious. Canned fish in extra virgin olive oil are good.
When I let my birds out to feed naturally their egg yolks are bright orange. When I feed them crumble their eggs are light yellow. When they have whole grains that aren't processed their eggs are a little bit better than light orange. Plus the yolks have aminos that are very good so sunny side up is best for undamaged best nutrition.
This sort of diet will remove fat from your organs and places that damage your body and makes your replacement cells better built. Our body replaces our cells and so the right nutrition makes for better replacement cells.
He should have used regular paint with primer.
just put corrugated metal right over that counter siding in the kitchen super easy. safe travels. 👍
People are nuts the way they wreck things.
Don't fret about the damage for now. Do a more elaborate repair when things settle down a bit more. Count yourself as lucky that you still have the place and let go of the details.
Thanks so much for the update.
I bet Odesa in peace time summer is gonna be great ☀ 🏖
Peace? Not in a good while so no Odessa and Summerfun I'm afraid.
Johnny the winters will get easier each time, the first is always the hardest. Wear more layers when you go out when it's cold that will help a lot.
Sounds corny seeing your videos is like coming home to somebody everyday thank you for your work
Футболка шикарная!
Hi Johnny. I recommend a winter coat from Decathlon. They range from $110-250. Mine kept me super warm at -15 in Kyiv on hour long walks around the park
Work? What kind of work do you do?
Hey Johnny! Should you be walking around in a bright orange jacket during a war? Maybe Canadian Goose makes a camo parka...
I think walking around in a camo parka during war is even worse to be targeted. Although, it doesn't seem like Russian soldiers care who or what they shoot.
I'm curious to see who will rent it from Air BNB now - but I don't know the Kharkiv market.
5:58 how is having milk/yogurt in a non-recyclable plastic bag better for the environment than a recyclable plastic carton?
Dive deep into the world of recycling. The majority of recyclable plastic cartons ultimately end up in the landfill, even if put in a recycling bin. It's better to use a smaller amount of plastic in the first place.
Dude… as soon as I saw that guy pull out spray bombs to paint in that apartment I thought “WTF!?”. Lucky you got it cleaned up right away.
Thank you, Johnny, for every video. You show the world the kindness of Ukrainians and the brutality of terrorist state Russia. Slava Ukraini!
Let me get this straight, you bought two units in the Ukraine, and YOU can't handle the weather. SAD!
Shut up. And it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine", boomer
But it isn't Winter all year...
also, he'll get used to it like most things with us humans
Our spirit of freedom was born in us.
$17 a day on Airbnb for your Kharkiv apartment that’s not bad at all. ❤
I really like your pullover sweat shirt. It looks very warm.
I love it!
I wouldn’t have much confidence in that roof repair. It would be a shame to visit in a couple months and find a bunch of new water damage.
What is the name of the real estate company you use in Kharkiv?
Stay warm -Canada here -5c isn't cold at all that's seasonal lol ,but off course you still have to be dressed for it 😉
Lady Gaga cofee machine, Johnny you are a piece of work 😁🤣😂Gaggia company was founded in 1948 , long before lady Gaga was even thinking of entering this world and becaming so famous 🤪
What ever happened to his friend Dan Leal ?
Probably back in Hungary producing porn. That’s his profession.
Gaggia is a goo brand, should be lots of service manualsplaces, worth fixing.
minus 5, you kidding me! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Johnny, I know yr back in Kiv.I seen u on yr friends channel.If it was my apartment I would have fixed everything professionally.Yr home is nice so keep it that way.Until next time.Stay safe.
Johnny you need to have a professional company come in and do the repairs. Maybe the same one who did the renovations originally. You need to do this only after the war because your building could be hit again.
Thx for the updates 🙏
Re the tradesman: He did a terrible job inside the apartment....I would worry that his job on the roof is going to leak before long!
It's not the best but it will do jack of all trades comes to mind with the last three words for everyone else to put in 🤔
"Oh Well we live and learn" he tried bless him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Donate or sell your apartment 😊to the doctors in that hospital!!
😢👍 Thanks for your videos, stay safe
Still look resourceful. Not starving like the siege of Leningrad
That guy that did the "repairs" was a total amateur. I hope you didn't have to pay him much.
100%! That “handyman” is a disaster
The news are saying that Russia is planing to take back Kharkiev soon. And that they are currently gathering planes at their borders.
I hope they will fail epicly if they attempt it again. Stay safe out there Johnny.
I feel you will be happy in Ukraine forever, once the Russians are ousted. Safe travels to Kyiv.
Time to get out of there. Return to SFO for awhile until things settle down.. Don't stay if you don't have too. Word to the wise. Stay safe.
Be careful! Good Luck 🍀 and God Bless !
Fix it better after the war
Nice set of videos of Kharkiv, Slava the brave people from that city and wider area 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Guy on the picture is Charles Darwin.
