Most thoughtful people can separate governments/ leaders from the citizens. So no worries. We understand you. 💗 Thank you for sharing your position! 🇺🇦 Russian language and culture is rich and interesting, and the people are wonderful. I love studying Russian and have loved my trips to both Russia and Ukraine! 💗💗💗 we all want peace.
Thank you for continuing to create and share these lighthearted and helpful videos during this very difficult time, which is clearly weighing heavily on you. Your work matters. Thank you.
Hi Teacher Don’t bother yourself with the war It’s not your fault and you shouldn’t feel guilty about it .All love and support for you keep doing this amazing videos 🤍✨
I've had people saying to me that still learning Russian is probably a bad idea right now but I think... why? It's a language, and I enjoy learning languages as a hobby. So, I will continue to learn, and watch your content that is SO helpful! And hope someday that there will be peace again
Hi Sergey, I have enjoyed many of your videos. I like your attitude and your focus on kindness and tenderness. I have to write, because so many people condemn without knowing. I want to add my voice to those who love Russians and Ukrainians. For five years I have attended Russian Churches, and I have come to love Russian and Ukrainian people like my family. I have never met such warm and loving people in my life like them. I owe them everything. Please give me a chance to say some things. I cannot remain silent when I see in the comments and all over TH-cam the seeds of bringing even more misery on the people I have come to care about so much. Most people in the comments take it for granted that Putin is a special villain, but I think it’s unacceptable behavior for an adult to hate and throw around negative claims about anyone without knowing those things for certain and being able to prove them. Regardless of whether or not he is a bad man, it is not fair to paint him simply as a villain, after he, in Russia’s deepest humiliation, when thousands of young women turned to the streets to sell their bodies out of desperation, when the country was being run by mobsters without any regard for human lives, he risked his neck to pick Russia up. Until today he can be assassinated. Again, no matter what the truth is about him, it disgusts me to see people who should be adults accepting as “common knowledge” any negative word about a man they hardly know anything about other than what their media tells them to believe. Regardless if the anti Putin media is correct, they don’t really care about Putin, they want to destroy Russia from the inside by driving young people to a state of rage that will lead them to suicidally try to bring down the government. The truth is that everything that is happening in Ukraine is the fault of my government, and almost all of my family and friends knows this very well. Many Americans have woken up to this sad reality, and many more wake up to it every day. In 2014, a phone call between the US’s ambassador to Ukraine and a high level politician in the State Department was hacked by Russian hackers. They were caught discussing who they wanted to fill the highest positions in the government after the Maidan mob chased Yanukovich out of power (or killed him). When the press secretary was confronted about this during a press conference, she could only say that this was “a new low in Russian statecraft.” (You can watch this on the State Department’s TH-cam channel, search for: Press Briefing February 6, 2014). “Statecraft” means spying. So in other words, touché, but Russia is worse for hacking us than we are for overthrowing a friendly government and installing an extremely hostile one on their doorstep. It is ridiculous. The invasion last year happened a few days after Zelensky made threats to tear up the Budapest Memorandum. In other words, he threatened to possibly develop nuclear weapons. After letting murderers who were caught on camera in Odessa live freely for 8 years, after killing civilians in Donbas for 8 years, after the West hypocritically and cynically crossed every line, even then your president didn’t invade. It took nuclear threats for him to do this. It sounds nice to be against war, but the decision to allow a government to develop nuclear weapons on your doorstep, that not only tolerates but promotes people in the military and government with ideologies that see your people as non humans, is not the obvious moral choice, to say the least. Please Sergey, do not allow the cynical West, which has played the same trick on almost every middle eastern country and started over a dozen wars since the end of the Second World War, take advantage of your decent feelings and principles to get you to put even a little energy in the direction of hurting the hometown and people that you said in one of your videos you still love. Please, do not be so quick to believe these people who only spread anxiety and anger by speaking half truths. Be brave and don’t worry about what people who only care about you and your people conditionally would say about you. There is so much more I could say, but I’ve already said too much probably. I’ve only done that because I see in you that same kind and tender soul that I see in my Slavic Orthodox friends. Nothing matters more to me right now than doing whatever I can for you because I feel like your culture, your soul, your religion has given me hope and light in a dark world.
thanks so much for your video and especially in such times it is good and necessary to still have beautiful and pleasant things in life. with your content you produce great videos and offer us rich moments of joy, learning the beautiful Russian language and getting in contact with the gentle culture of lovely russia. and thanks for your introducing words. everybody who has a head on their shoulders will understand that Putin is not generalized to equate Russians. and furthermore everybody who has a head on their shoulders will also good understand that the result now is caused more complex than only one guilty person. every side has own interest and also the west is not innocent. the main to know is that military interests are never the interest of ordinary people. during powerful people enrich themself ordinary people in all countries need to suffer. so the main is not to get splitted and start with any harmful hostility. I myself have my roots in Ukraine and russia. and additional in Italy. with these roots I live as a foreigner in Germany. and I am glad that I am multi culti and I can call many nations my family. I never can feel hostility against these nations because it is a part from me. and I hope one day everybody will understand that we are one world. splitted by political interests who take their advantages out of greed and power can only produce destruction. better let us enrich each other with for example such beautiful content like you share with us!
I am very grateful for your channel and please never apologize again for being Russian. I have friends in Ukraine and Russia and I can tell you that you are being used as pawns. Wishing you the best from Texas. Stay strong
I disagree! He NEEDS to apologize for going full (lib) t4 rd and for being clueless as to what his great president is doing to save HIS people whom the y'uck rainians have been M4SS4CRING for the past 8 years at the Russian border, to the tune of 100,000 killed.

Сергей, большое спасибо вам за ваш видео. Я только хочу сказать тебе что для меня русский человек очень хороший человек. Sergey, I meet many tourists everyday and it doesn’t matter where you come from. You are all citizens of one world! Please, all the best for everyone. Just peace and love. I really appreciate your work and your way of thinking. Take care of yourself!
As we say in India, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we don't see the bigger pattern right away. Thanks for bringing back the normal world where Vasya & friends live, Sergei! Nice format: very different from the stories (which I adore, too!) because here we learn conversational Russian. Keep it up .
You're such a decent and humble human being and a true inspiration Sergey. It is balm for my soul to see someone putting all this effort into helping people and helping to make the world an overall better place. It's quite a big contrast to all the hatefulness spreading like a virus throughout public discourse in our current times . Thank you so much for your efforts. I wish you the best and I hope people come to their senses soon and work together on the real issues on this planet instead of fighting each other. If there were more clear sighted, kind and levelheaded people like you, we would not be in this mess in the first place... Greetings from Germany
I just found your wonderful videos recently, and I would like to say that this awful war has nothing to do with you or the Russian people in general. I think most people can separate politics and politicians from the population of a country and will not blame an ordinary citizen for the actions of their political leaders. Keep turning out your language videos as they really are great!
Thanks and it's good you addressed this matter as it's of topical significance, but we know that the Russia language and culture goes back far back.. before the politicians in power and the decisions of modern day Russia. We will support your channel and your videos have been very helpful to us regardless of anyone's political stance. I hope people understand this and not mindlessly sanction anything thats Russian like many of the "woke" crowd are doing.
Do you realize that he went full (LIB) t 4 r d (as in whoa-we!!!) and just alienated the majority of his fanbase by his stvpid flag at the end and dumb statement?! Should have LEFT the politics out of his videos. NO ONE asked him! Now I can't support his channel, can't buy him a Ko-fi, can't sub and instead of thumbing up like I signed in to do, this got him the ths. dwn. :-/ Go whoa'ke & go broke! Look that up Sergei! Edited spelling for publishing
i just want to say this, and i really want you to truly feel and understand it. you, and 99.9% of russians, are NOT responsible for the war. it is truly tragic seeing so many russians on the internet apologize and feel shameful for being russian, or feeling in someway responsible for this situation. but the truth is, its all because putin made a horrible decision. no one else. ive also been seeing many people turn to russophobia and that breaks my heart and truly hits me in the feels. PLEASE. PLEASE. do not feel shame in your nationality or language. your comment "i still think the russian language deserves to exist", shouldn't even have to be said and that is just depressing, but you are right regardless of how obvious the statement is. Please continue to teach us all this wonderful language so it can continue to live on and be spoken for generations to come. every language deserves a right to exist and thrive because it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with humanity and culture.
I have the same feeling of sadness with the sentence "I still think the Russian language deserves to exist". Imagine people from USA or UK apologize everytime their government instigated war. The internet would then be one long apology. Russophobia goes back a very long time (at least in the part of the world where I live) - and it is both telling and depressing that the good man Sergei feels an urge to make such a disclaimer.
Not at all inappropiate! Russian language is much more than Putin and his mad affairs, it has been the language of lots of wonderful writers and people through history. Thanks a lot for your clasess!
I'm Irish & my local foreign shops aren't too friendly nor will they engage with me to help me with learning this new language for me. Once they hear Russian they blank me. So sad & isolated me from learning & I only want to learn because my daughter is pregnant & her husband will be learning Russian to my grandchild as it will be brought up bilingual & I want to be involved. It was hard at first but now I'm enjoying it & want to learn for me too.
I love your Russian listening language videos. I have been to Russia twice however only started learning Russian last year. It's not the Russians who are doing this. We know it's Putin's war. I actually only subscribed to your videos a week ago, war or no war. It is not going to stop me from continuing learning Russian. Russian language will be around after Putin is gone.
Привет Сергей! Спасибо вам за все ваши ролики, которые мы смотрим с большим интересом! Разделяю ваше мнение о войне, Путине и России вообще! Когда-то все эти ужасные события закончатся, и мы вернёмся к нормальной жизни! Очень жду этого! Пока!
Дорогой Сергей, я Голландка, я живу в Германии. Твои уроки мне очень помогают повысить мои знания русского языка. У меня русские соседи, знакомые. Никто не хочет эту войну. Уже в моем городе много беженцев, женщины и дети. Я хочу им помогать как переводчица. У меня к тебе вопрос: у тебя есть возможности записывать видео о теме как предоставление, школы и уроки, врач и так далее? Ты можешь помочь 'from afar'! Я люблю русский дух. Ты молодец!! Я слежу за тобой на твоём канале. Желаю тебе всего хорошего.
@@InRussianFromAfar Дорогой Сергей, большое спасибо за ответ! Вчера я написал тебе Email на твоём website. У тебя время мне ответить на этот Email на моем адрес? Было бы классно! Я c радостью жду твоего ответа. Аманда
Hey I felt the same before but then i thought being able to understand Russian would make me become more involved and informed in the situation and now I'm studying it every day
Привет Сергей, I wonder if you could do a Vasya and Petya episode about prepositions of place. Let's say, they are looking for something and use words like "under", "behind", "next to" etc. Just an idea.
Greetings from South America! Before 2022 I had NEVER even thought about learning Russian. It was such a distant, opaque thing... Then, the war in Ukraine began. I had no clue about it. So I decided to learn all I could, in order to understand what was going on. I was quite difficult, given the amount of propaganda. Little by little I got familiar with the geography, history, culture, economy, politics of Russia and her neighbors. Soon, it became quite clear that the war in Ukraine was provoked by the US, for much bigger geopolitical reason. I listened to speeches and interviews given by many leaders from around the world, and found out that Putin (contrary to overwherlming western propaganda) was a very intelligent, decent, and caring person. I have listened to many analysts. I have read countless articles, and several books. After a while, my initial ignorance about Russia turned into deep admiration. So, I decided to learn Russian, with the goal of visting it someday.
❤️ Война очень плохая, но. Когда больше никого нет. Дорога.. К сожалению, это необходимо. Извините, что высказал свое мнение, в то время как невинные люди страдают. 🇬🇷🇷🇺
our prime minister Modi ji always said , sir together on table ( Russia & Ukraine ) & solve the matter ,at the end it will happen too , but Ukraine is fighting nato war against Russia , ( on self motherland ) , this war is the product of politics , what is fault of common & poor ukranian people ,
💌It is the Azov Nazi regime that, for about fourteen years, tortured and shelled Donbass region. It is that regime that carries a darkness that is almost incomprehensible, installed and trained by the US. Supported by the puppet governments of the EU. They teased and threatened Russia in an extreme amount. And Russia did: nothing. And now, when the waiting trespasses in stupidity (because the day Russia let them grow to strong is too near), they started. Slowly. I saw the video's of people of Donbass who are very very happy the Russians are there, I saw video's of many years before with shelled villages, long deep stories of the people there. I saw the utmost creepy tattoos of the Azov soldiers. You did not? You know Loehansk and Donetsk stated their own sovereignty. Russia had nothing to do with that. They wanted that because they are being attacked all the time. And now Russia helps them. You think they do not want that? You think they prefer to be vanished? Their mother tongue is Russian. And you apologize to be a Russian? I apologize to be a citizen of an EU country who has the evilness to send weapons to prevent the freedom of the Donbass, to attack Russians. I am deeply ashamed. It is so cruel. If we would not interfere everything would long be over. You want the Loehansk and Donetsk people to be in the hands of the Azov leader? That is very strange, you know what he did to them and does to them. Or not? Did you close your eyes and swallow the propaganda.. Even you. Russia is the only one those people have, the only country. And you cannot expect Russia to sleep and wait besides the point of no return. Russia has been extremily patient. No country, no leader of this force, can say it did that. We in de EU have sanctions "against Russia" but the sanctions hit our own countries. It is all fake. Once you will see. We may see no Russian news. Total censorship. And even you sing the Lullaby. And I ask you to think it toroughly. To be very honest. To be awake. 🕯
I see your point, but unfortunately, I can’t agree with you, cause it was Putin , who created this from the beginning in 2014 by supporting local bandits and putting them in power. If this wouldn’t happen, people of Donbas and Luhansk would live peacefully in Ukraine all this time without any nazis :) look at Mariupol, it was a city in Donetsk oblast, and there was no oppression of Russian speaking people whatsoever through all this time.
@@InRussianFromAfar You say Putin supported local bandits in Ukraine? Why - what was the purpose? What kind of bandits - against who, a specific group/ everyone there and: what did they? How did this rise the nazi regime?
I agree totally - but I really depresses me how this channel at this point has to deal with political topics. It is otherwise a sanctuary to me when I am on the internet, where I am constantly spammed with Ukrainian nationalism. The topic is however very important to me, but it is generally messed up completely. I have followed the political development in Ukraine closely, and it is obvious that Russia has been extremely patient - more patient than any other country would be. That is again not news, the same was the case during the (first) Cold War. Now we have a second, and that was easy to see coming. One being just a little observing will see that the Cold War really never ended. One of the indicators of this is the intended destabilisation of Russia by the West - and especially with the expansion of NATO. Russophobia didn't disappear from Western Europe. In the country where I live anti-Russian sentiments were strong even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The invasion was that one thing that shouldn't had happened. It's such a misery. I love Ukraine as I love Russia. But especially since 2014 the Ukrainian nationalism has exploded - backed financially and militarily by USA and EU. (With a constant flow of money, lots of military excersises with NATO participation, celebration of Bandera, with statues, renaming of streets and squares, intensified SS Galizia celebrations in Western Ukraine (especially in Lviv and Ternopil), etc. etc.) The Ukrainian government had carte blanche from the West to keep the civil war going, and had no intension of ending the fights in Donbass. A very successful weapon in any civil war is the oppression of language and culture, and that was one of the very first means against the Russian minded Ukrainians in the East and South. Despite the common narrative about Ukraine - which of course begins with the Russian invasion, since no one outside Ukraine gave a damn about Ukraine or the civil war, (or knew what is was) - censorship had been introduced for years: closing of newspapers, killings of journalists, closing of television channels. The fact is that the war could have easily been prevented - but the West had no interest in that. On the contrary its aim was to gain Ukraine and weaken Russia, and it has now obtained what it wanted all the way.
@@nastyamechtatelnaya4530 Yes, the war could easily been prevented, but instead of that it is what U.S. wanted, created and still keeps going, together with their EU slaves. I wish this comes to an end. Thank you for your comment. Let the nazi's loose soon. Forever. Together with their drugs. They create crazy people with it, who want to fight for the wrong side. They loose their discernment. Disconnect from their souls.
@@floortjefloortje I really wish the war to end - better today than tomorrow, but I unfortunately only see signs of the opposite - there's no interest. The massive armaments from the West contributes to a very long time of warfare. I don't want to see Ukraine devastated. I love the country as I love Russia and Belorussia. There are stupid people in every country, but all of the many Ukrainians I have met had only contempt for their government - at least until the invasion - also despite having been bombarded with nationalistic propaganda for years. Everyone with knowledge of Russian foreign policy knew that Ukraine was a red line not to be transgressed - and the West pushed Ukraine to transgress it. The so-called 'independence' the Ukrainian nationalists talk about is really just the establishment of a new dependency towards USA, NATO and EU. What the president does now is not news either: presidents and ministers since 2014 have travelled the West with a circus to get money.
Можете ли вы осудить преступления Европы и Америки в Палестине? Знаете ли вы, сколько тысяч детей было убито за 11 месяцев сионистского нападения на жителей Газы?
Конечно я осуждаю любое убийство невинных, но в общем я стараюсь не высказывать по поводу политики на моём канале. Однако, есть исключения, так как они непосредственно связаны с моей страной.
Oh good gosh! Your flag at the end made me PUKE!! You were one of my favorite Russian teachers, I logged in to post nice things on a past video but I just CAN'T! YOU DISAPPOINT, Sergei!!! I urge you to go to the Kremlin website, videos page and listen to your great president tell it like it is in YOUR language. If you're no longer in Russia, like all these teachers ending up in Vietnam, you are listening to PROPAGANDA out of USA. There you will understand that your prez has been fighting USA's control and that Uk country who has been massacring YOUR PEOPLE in Donbass for the past 8 years!!! I can't believe I need to EDUCATE a Russian on YOUR country's affairs. You have a president who loves his country and protects YOU & your people and my president who is doing the OPPOSITE! PS: USA NEVER went to the moon, Russians were the first to send a satellite into space. Greetings from California. I came here to subscribe, instead I selected this pitiful video which I thumbed down. Please WISE UP! Paka paka

Hi Sergey,
I have enjoyed many of your videos. I like your attitude and your focus on kindness and tenderness. I have to write, because so many people condemn without knowing. I want to add my voice to those who love Russians and Ukrainians. For five years I have attended Russian Churches, and I have come to love Russian and Ukrainian people like my family. I have never met such warm and loving people in my life like them. I owe them everything.
Please give me a chance to say some things.
I cannot remain silent when I see in the comments and all over TH-cam the seeds of bringing even more misery on the people I have come to care about so much.
Most people in the comments take it for granted that Putin is a special villain, but I think it’s unacceptable behavior for an adult to hate and throw around negative claims about anyone without knowing those things for certain and being able to prove them. Regardless of whether or not he is a bad man, it is not fair to paint him simply as a villain, after he, in Russia’s deepest humiliation, when thousands of young women turned to the streets to sell their bodies out of desperation, when the country was being run by mobsters without any regard for human lives, he risked his neck to pick Russia up. Until today he can be assassinated. Again, no matter what the truth is about him, it disgusts me to see people who should be adults accepting as “common knowledge” any negative word about a man they hardly know anything about other than what their media tells them to believe. Regardless if the anti Putin media is correct, they don’t really care about Putin, they want to destroy Russia from the inside by driving young people to a state of rage that will lead them to suicidally try to bring down the government.
The truth is that everything that is happening in Ukraine is the fault of my government, and almost all of my family and friends knows this very well. Many Americans have woken up to this sad reality, and many more wake up to it every day.

Please Sergey, do not allow the cynical West, which has played the same trick on almost every middle eastern country and started over a dozen wars since the end of the Second World War, take advantage of your decent feelings and principles to get you to put even a little energy in the direction of hurting the hometown and people that you said in one of your videos you still love. Please, do not be so quick to believe these people who only spread anxiety and anger by speaking half truths. Be brave and don’t worry about what people who only care about you and your people conditionally would say about you.
There is so much more I could say, but I’ve already said too much probably. I’ve only done that because I see in you that same kind and tender soul that I see in my Slavic Orthodox friends. Nothing matters more to me right now than doing whatever I can for you because I feel like your culture, your soul, your religion has given me hope and light in a dark world.

i just want to say this, and i really want you to truly feel and understand it. you, and 99.9% of russians, are NOT responsible for the war. it is truly tragic seeing so many russians on the internet apologize and feel shameful for being russian, or feeling in someway responsible for this situation. but the truth is, its all because putin made a horrible decision. no one else. ive also been seeing many people turn to russophobia and that breaks my heart and truly hits me in the feels. PLEASE. PLEASE. do not feel shame in your nationality or language. your comment "i still think the russian language deserves to exist", shouldn't even have to be said and that is just depressing, but you are right regardless of how obvious the statement is. Please continue to teach us all this wonderful language so it can continue to live on and be spoken for generations to come. every language deserves a right to exist and thrive because it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with humanity and culture.
I have the same feeling of sadness with the sentence "I still think the Russian language deserves to exist". Imagine people from USA or UK apologize everytime their government instigated war. The internet would then be one long apology. Russophobia goes back a very long time (at least in the part of the world where I live) - and it is both telling and depressing that the good man Sergei feels an urge to make such a disclaimer.
J’ai adoré 👍
C’est une histoire idéale pour les débutants. Et en plus tu es drôle. 😃
Merci beaucoup.
Спосибо больше 🙏
Not at all inappropiate! Russian language is much more than Putin and his mad affairs, it has been the language of lots of wonderful writers and people through history. Thanks a lot for your clasess!
I'm Irish & my local foreign shops aren't too friendly nor will they engage with me to help me with learning this new language for me. Once they hear Russian they blank me. So sad & isolated me from learning & I only want to learn because my daughter is pregnant & her husband will be learning Russian to my grandchild as it will be brought up bilingual & I want to be involved. It was hard at first but now I'm enjoying it & want to learn for me too.
There are lots of people who speak Russian in your local shops?
I love your Russian listening language videos. I have been to Russia twice however only started learning Russian last year. It's not the Russians who are doing this. We know it's Putin's war. I actually only subscribed to your videos a week ago, war or no war. It is not going to stop me from continuing learning Russian. Russian language will be around after Putin is gone.
Привет Сергей!
Спасибо вам за все ваши ролики, которые мы смотрим с большим интересом! Разделяю ваше мнение о войне, Путине и России вообще! Когда-то все эти ужасные события закончатся, и мы вернёмся к нормальной жизни! Очень жду этого!
Пока!
Дорогой Сергей, я Голландка, я живу в Германии. Твои уроки мне очень помогают повысить мои знания русского языка. У меня русские соседи, знакомые. Никто не хочет эту войну. Уже в моем городе много беженцев, женщины и дети. Я хочу им помогать как переводчица. У меня к тебе вопрос: у тебя есть возможности записывать видео о теме как предоставление, школы и уроки, врач и так далее? Ты можешь помочь 'from afar'! Я люблю русский дух. Ты молодец!! Я слежу за тобой на твоём канале. Желаю тебе всего хорошего.
Привет, Аманда! Ты молодец, что хочешь помогать людям! Я сделаю видео по этим темам в будущем!
@@InRussianFromAfar Дорогой Сергей, большое спасибо за ответ! Вчера я написал тебе Email на твоём website. У тебя время мне ответить на этот Email на моем адрес? Было бы классно! Я c радостью жду твоего ответа. Аманда
I agree with you about what's going, still, I've found it really hard to study Russian lately...
Hey I felt the same before but then i thought being able to understand Russian would make me become more involved and informed in the situation and now I'm studying it every day
Привет Сергей, I wonder if you could do a Vasya and Petya episode about prepositions of place. Let's say, they are looking for something and use words like "under", "behind", "next to" etc. Just an idea.
Awesome idea! I will do it! Thanks!
Greetings from South America!
Before 2022 I had NEVER even thought about learning Russian. It was such a distant, opaque thing...
Then, the war in Ukraine began. I had no clue about it. So I decided to learn all I could, in order to understand what was going on. I was quite difficult, given the amount of propaganda. Little by little I got familiar with the geography, history, culture, economy, politics of Russia and her neighbors. Soon, it became quite clear that the war in Ukraine was provoked by the US, for much bigger geopolitical reason. I listened to speeches and interviews given by many leaders from around the world, and found out that Putin (contrary to overwherlming western propaganda) was a very intelligent, decent, and caring person.
I have listened to many analysts. I have read countless articles, and several books.
After a while, my initial ignorance about Russia turned into deep admiration.
So, I decided to learn Russian, with the goal of visting it someday.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Biez problema! Cette guerre devait arriver. Chacun défend son pays 😊
❤️ Война очень плохая, но. Когда больше никого нет. Дорога.. К сожалению, это необходимо. Извините, что высказал свое мнение, в то время как невинные люди страдают. 🇬🇷🇷🇺
Всегда есть бескровный путь решения конфликта. Всегда.
Красивое сообщение. Я изучаю русский язык, чтобы общаться с моими новыми украинскими друзьями-беженцами. Большое спасибо за ваши видео
Привет Вася, мне ты нравишься)
Вася: «Ты мне тоже, Андрей, но я люблю Зайку, так что... се ля ви😂»

Замечательные вами видео! Хотелось бы видеть титры видео на русском языке?

Russia and Russians are not Putin 🇷🇺 🇺🇦🕊🕊🕊

💌It is the Azov Nazi regime that, for about fourteen years, tortured and shelled Donbass region. It is that regime that carries a darkness that is almost incomprehensible, installed and trained by the US. Supported by the puppet governments of the EU. They teased and threatened Russia in an extreme amount. And Russia did: nothing. And now, when the waiting trespasses in stupidity (because the day Russia let them grow to strong is too near), they started. Slowly.
I saw the video's of people of Donbass who are very very happy the Russians are there, I saw video's of many years before with shelled villages, long deep stories of the people there. I saw the utmost creepy tattoos of the Azov soldiers. You did not?
You know Loehansk and Donetsk stated their own sovereignty. Russia had nothing to do with that. They wanted that because they are being attacked all the time. And now Russia helps them. You think they do not want that? You think they prefer to be vanished? Their mother tongue is Russian. And you apologize to be a Russian?
I apologize to be a citizen of an EU country who has the evilness to send weapons to prevent the freedom of the Donbass, to attack Russians. I am deeply ashamed. It is so cruel.
If we would not interfere everything would long be over. You want the Loehansk and Donetsk people to be in the hands of the Azov leader? That is very strange, you know what he did to them and does to them. Or not? Did you close your eyes and swallow the propaganda.. Even you. Russia is the only one those people have, the only country. And you cannot expect Russia to sleep and wait besides the point of no return. Russia has been extremily patient. No country, no leader of this force, can say it did that.
We in de EU have sanctions "against Russia" but the sanctions hit our own countries. It is all fake. Once you will see. We may see no Russian news. Total censorship. And even you sing the Lullaby. And I ask you to think it toroughly. To be very honest. To be awake. 🕯
I see your point, but unfortunately, I can’t agree with you, cause it was Putin , who created this from the beginning in 2014 by supporting local bandits and putting them in power. If this wouldn’t happen, people of Donbas and Luhansk would live peacefully in Ukraine all this time without any nazis :) look at Mariupol, it was a city in Donetsk oblast, and there was no oppression of Russian speaking people whatsoever through all this time.
@@InRussianFromAfar You say Putin supported local bandits in Ukraine? Why - what was the purpose? What kind of bandits - against who, a specific group/ everyone there and: what did they? How did this rise the nazi regime?
I agree totally - but I really depresses me how this channel at this point has to deal with political topics. It is otherwise a sanctuary to me when I am on the internet, where I am constantly spammed with Ukrainian nationalism.
The topic is however very important to me, but it is generally messed up completely. I have followed the political development in Ukraine closely, and it is obvious that Russia has been extremely patient - more patient than any other country would be. That is again not news, the same was the case during the (first) Cold War. Now we have a second, and that was easy to see coming. One being just a little observing will see that the Cold War really never ended. One of the indicators of this is the intended destabilisation of Russia by the West - and especially with the expansion of NATO. Russophobia didn't disappear from Western Europe. In the country where I live anti-Russian sentiments were strong even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The invasion was that one thing that shouldn't had happened. It's such a misery. I love Ukraine as I love Russia. But especially since 2014 the Ukrainian nationalism has exploded - backed financially and militarily by USA and EU. (With a constant flow of money, lots of military excersises with NATO participation, celebration of Bandera, with statues, renaming of streets and squares, intensified SS Galizia celebrations in Western Ukraine (especially in Lviv and Ternopil), etc. etc.)
The Ukrainian government had carte blanche from the West to keep the civil war going, and had no intension of ending the fights in Donbass. A very successful weapon in any civil war is the oppression of language and culture, and that was one of the very first means against the Russian minded Ukrainians in the East and South.
Despite the common narrative about Ukraine - which of course begins with the Russian invasion, since no one outside Ukraine gave a damn about Ukraine or the civil war, (or knew what is was) - censorship had been introduced for years: closing of newspapers, killings of journalists, closing of television channels.
The fact is that the war could have easily been prevented - but the West had no interest in that. On the contrary its aim was to gain Ukraine and weaken Russia, and it has now obtained what it wanted all the way.
@@nastyamechtatelnaya4530 Yes, the war could easily been prevented, but instead of that it is what U.S. wanted, created and still keeps going, together with their EU slaves. I wish this comes to an end. Thank you for your comment. Let the nazi's loose soon. Forever. Together with their drugs. They create crazy people with it, who want to fight for the wrong side. They loose their discernment. Disconnect from their souls.
@@floortjefloortje I really wish the war to end - better today than tomorrow, but I unfortunately only see signs of the opposite - there's no interest. The massive armaments from the West contributes to a very long time of warfare. I don't want to see Ukraine devastated. I love the country as I love Russia and Belorussia. There are stupid people in every country, but all of the many Ukrainians I have met had only contempt for their government - at least until the invasion - also despite having been bombarded with nationalistic propaganda for years.
Everyone with knowledge of Russian foreign policy knew that Ukraine was a red line not to be transgressed - and the West pushed Ukraine to transgress it.
The so-called 'independence' the Ukrainian nationalists talk about is really just the establishment of a new dependency towards USA, NATO and EU. What the president does now is not news either: presidents and ministers since 2014 have travelled the West with a circus to get money.
Лайк за то, что сменил на превью триколор на новый флаг свободной россии
Я за это много хейта получил😅
Можете ли вы осудить преступления Европы и Америки в Палестине? Знаете ли вы, сколько тысяч детей было убито за 11 месяцев сионистского нападения на жителей Газы?
Конечно я осуждаю любое убийство невинных, но в общем я стараюсь не высказывать по поводу политики на моём канале. Однако, есть исключения, так как они непосредственно связаны с моей страной.
Oh good gosh! Your flag at the end made me PUKE!! You were one of my favorite Russian teachers, I logged in to post nice things on a past video but I just CAN'T! YOU DISAPPOINT, Sergei!!! I urge you to go to the Kremlin website, videos page and listen to your great president tell it like it is in YOUR language. If you're no longer in Russia, like all these teachers ending up in Vietnam, you are listening to PROPAGANDA out of USA.
There you will understand that your prez has been fighting USA's control and that Uk country who has been massacring YOUR PEOPLE in Donbass for the past 8 years!!! I can't believe I need to EDUCATE a Russian on YOUR country's affairs. You have a president who loves his country and protects YOU & your people and my president who is doing the OPPOSITE!
PS: USA NEVER went to the moon, Russians were the first to send a satellite into space. Greetings from California. I came here to subscribe, instead I selected this pitiful video which I thumbed down. Please WISE UP! Paka paka
