In my school in Kiev there were many foreigners, maybe like 30%: people from Afghanistan, Vietnam and from former Soviet republics (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armeria, Russia). And we never had ethnicity-based conflicts. I think most foreigners who are not Ukrainian citizens left after the war started.
I visited Fort Schevchenko in Kazakhstan. That's where Schevchenko was held for many years, underground. Incredible story. Of course, the yurt is Kazakh!
As a Ukrainian I would like to say: if a person was born or raised in Ukraine, is a native speaker/ understand the culture and do not consider himself as a foreigner this person is definitely Ukrainian other things don’t matter.

Very spot on. Except the word "fundraiser". He is paid to eat drink, be merry with his boys. The very best others cannnot get for their money.! Only issue? It's fundraiser money. Really A hard fact many feel hurt over...... It gets old when many work very hard 12 hours or more every day with not enough to earn life's riches. Disabled people have it hard. So do most Ukrainians.⁷

A Russian is travelling to Poland... and he is stopped to be checked by an officer. "Name?" the officer asked. "Vlad Dobrynin," the man answered. "Nationality?" "Russian." "Occupation?" "No, no, just visiting."
Johnny, for frozen doors in winter - Wax the painted surface of the door on the car frame and clean the rubber seal with silicone lube or a product like Armoural. Even with a new battery and starter, you need to run it one or two times a week in winter conditions. ( Experienced Canadian )
Ukrainian/Russian women LOVE Nigerian/African men. When I lived in Atyrau, Kazakhstan, I dated a Ukrainian woman named Elena Baltina from Donetsk and her previous boyfriend was a Nigerian student who attended university in Donetsk. I was super jealous because she still would message him from time to time. She ended up dumping me and I married a wonderful Kazakh lady. Now I live in Benin, Africa and I’ve met several Russian/Ukrainian women here that married African dudes from Benin (which borders Nigeria). I also met a half Beninoise half Russian dude my first day here in Benin and he showed me all around the city of Cotonou. He could speak Russian, French, and English. Also remember that famous Ukrainian writer Alexander Pushkin was Afro-Ukrainian.
Being a good Canadian I’ve always just used not boiling but warm water gently along the frame lines, it always works perfectly, there’s always deicer you can spray along two that they make. It’s really pretty easy I have found, hope that helps
@@JohnnyFD it's more about giving a slice of life, same as with the airport/train videos. In contrast, the "Johny in the luxury resort in the alps" type of videos aren't as attention grabbing
Winter car tip! Don’t wash car when very cold out get some lock freeze to put in lock and start car acouple times a week and you will always have unfrozen locks, doors and a car that will start! From a person that lives in Wisconsin!
Oxford Languages Dictionary, Winterize, verb North American, Adapt or prepare ( something, especially a house or an automobile ) for use in cold weather. Graphite lubricant or WD 40, sprayed into the door locks may help if you're having to manually unlock your car doors in extremely cold weather. I own a Mazda CX 5 sport, manual transmission w/ a race pedal. It's a joy to drive for an SUV, but it just sits in the driveway for weeks at a time, because i can walk to work in under 10 minutes. Johnny you've inspired me to just get out and drive with no destination in mind. Hope to see your new friend Carlos in future videos, he's an interesting and cool dude.

@@orlandoandv and? If you are ok that someone mispronounced your name that doesn't mean that other folk is ok too. I DO not like when mispronounced my name, and don't like when people say it doesn't matter when I correct them. It's rude and disrespectful
Thant's the way to explore Kyiv! No GPS, just randomly driving around. I think that this Cayenne is born during a perfect age - it has some features that cars 10 years ago didn't have, yet it doesn't have any useless AI powered things that make you forget how to even drive a car that most of the stuff today has.
Im looking at the world weather map and it seems like this is one of the warmest winters in Europe, but cant say the same about Russia, Ive found a place where it is -49 right now
Swap to a blanket. Especially when it snows, the car can get real cold. Trust. You forgot an extra bit of small gas and a flashlight + powerbank too - so when you drive you have the extra ready just in case :) Powerbank alone is a life saver if your battery is dead. Get one that has a usb/usbc port and a jumpstart on it, bonus if it has a tire pump too. 1000000% recommend.
Porsche just released a modern headunit for the first gen cayenne. It’s called pccm plus. It’s a oem-product from porsche with an modern interface with apple carplay etc that looks just like the original headunit. It’s just under 1500 dollars.
I think it's super cool that Porsche has released an OEM upgrade, but $1,500 + installation is more than I want to spend on it. I'll just get a cigarette lighter bluetooth radio thing.
Johnny, thankyou for excellent video. as for your frozen door seals, clear silicone grease is more effective than aerosol spray and you won't ingest it.
Really good video… especially with Carlos in it. Nice to see diversity in Ukraine. Btw, some people rustproof the undercarriage of their cars to avoid damage from the salt used on roads in the winter.
great car with an awesome engine. if you drive it occasionally (highway to charge the battery) and service it when needed it shouldn't make any problems
As a multi Porsche owner, yes, they do need to be driven - they run better when used! And please wash your damn car Johnny! Lol Love seeing Kyiv and other sites!!!
Anyone else worried about that silicone spray he accidentally breathed in? Yikes, Johnny! Be careful and stay healthy! Thank you for sharing your lovely videos with us!
Yea silicone spray smell is the worst. It takes forever for that smell to go away. I always spray it a little at a time on a rag and wipe it on when needed
I love the Ukrainian winter for its freshness! very invigorating. And the second - after it you especially look forward to spring and summer) This is philosophical)
Yeah, usually it’s not very cold but you still wait for spring so much. Plus you can experience all four seasons as they should be: cold winter, warm spring, hot summer and cool autumn
Hey Johnny, get rid of your jump start worries. I watched on Scotty Kilmer's channel a cool a_s device which I bought one too. See it on his channel called "This New Jump Starter Changes Everything." It use capacitors rather than a battery. It will help so much.
"I dont know why I never drive it in sport guys" lol you will when you find out how much fuel it uses. I had a car with the same sports mode and I learned that the hard way.
I keep cheap liquid hand sanitizer on hand for de-icing. What radio station do you listen to in Kiev?? I listen to Radio Friday (aka Radio of Ukrainian Roads). They have a good streaming app. Слава Україні
Hello Johnny. You have a great channel. I have a question about real estate in Kyiv. How well are the older apartments sound isolated? Can you hear your neighbors? I know you have reinforced concrete floors so it should be a lot better than wooden beams. I have been thinking about buying an apartment in Kyiv that's why I'm asking.
Hello Sture, I can shine a bit more light on your question. First of all, in order for you to invest in Ukraine as foreigner you need special Ukrainian "tax number" ( social security number) and a business bank account in Ukraine. This can be done by Ukraine lawyers for fee. Re Buildings : In Kyiv there are several types of buildings that were build in different times. The type that Johnny lives in is pre revolution apartments, most have been reinforced with metal beams between floors and so on, as these buildings have some historical value and add special 'good looking face' to the city . The wall are about 50 cm thick due to special big bricks that were used in building them. Within the apartment walls are usually of brick and in to 2 layers or more sometimes. Another building type is "stalinka" that was build somewhat similar to pre revolution buildings, but with some differences; and these builds were build for people that work for government, not for "regular" people. So they too have very good structure, thick walls, but looks of the outside as old soviet style and not as fancy as pre revolution style. Other one that is popular between older buildings is "cheshka" style apartments. Well planed, a bit smaller, but these apartments made of brick in thinner layer and pre made walls that stuck up as a puzzles. And have a soviet look, because they were build in all Soviet Union. Next type is "hruchovka" style ( that was build almost until collapse of Soviet Union) , named after Nikita Hruchov... These buildings are small, fast build with pre-made walls, not as sound proof. The kitchen, for example, can be 5m x 5m. They were trying for build fast as many apartments as they can for families that were living in "barracks" -wooden house with no water, bathrooms, and so on and "komunalka" - one room per family with shared bathroom and kitchen apartments that could of have another 3-4 single rooms with one family in one room. And moving forward - modern apartments that were build in 90th, and new more modern now that are 23-26 stories tall. Although new apartments are sold as unfinished cubes inside from builders, were you have to add your walls sometimes, bathroom from zero , kitchen and appliances ... Usually plumbing ruffly put in. There are several sites in Ukraine that have real-estate ads , but I don't think they are in English languge, unfortunately. Real- estate in Ukraine is young, agents are not licensed ( any one can be an agent ), and they can trick you, if you don't speak a language and you do not laws.You need to find trustful agent, that speaks English, preferably. Johnny was promoting his agent in of his videos. If you really like to see what is up there I can send you some sites, but you need to do translation from Ukrainian or Russian. I hope that helps.
When I've heard "Carlos" I've thought he was Brazilian... This is a very-very-common name in Brazil, "Roberto Carlos" is a Brazilian Soccer Player and There's also a very-famous singer in Brazil with this name, BTW, we don't speak Spanish, but Portuguese... It's a bit similar, we can understand Spanish, but not the same definitely =)
Whomever builds a yurt has his/her spirit permanently imbedded on/in the yurt. The key is, the individual must hold the supporting pole while the form is constructed around it.
Should have just sprayed some on a cloth, and wipe down door rubbers! Also, you should look into auto start function if you can have one added to car..
If you use a car cover, you won't see any damage, until you lift off the cover. Critters can crawl under it to keep warm. Just keep to a schedule of driving it to lube the engine and top off the battery. Get a big 2023 wall calender and mark the days when this needs to be done, hang it on the fridge so you see most often, and will remind you.
Never heard of "winterize" before lol. Don't worry, it's hilarious that in turn I'm starting to struggle speaking my native language German with my parents in the meantime ... guess I'm watching too much English TH-cam.
This is a important thing to talk about. Racism is everywhere. But it is rarely prevalent or strong. In my experience it is mostly discomfort with anyone who seems different. There were early reports of racism during the evacuation of Kiev. It looked like young adult males of Indian and African descent complaining Ukrainian women and children could cut in line for the train out. I believe most of the reports of racism are russian propaganda. Слава Україні
Washing your car, even in the winter is not silly. You should set a goal to wash it every month and make sure you drive it a bit after sp it's dry after you wash it.
Put some w40 inside key holes and doors every where is a rubber, w40 is so good for everything it won't harm your car no matter where you put it, hope i can help out, have nice day, El viejo, the old man, Lowell massachusetts !
Cars Zaporozhets or ZAZ were produced in Ukraine and would give the most authentic Ukrainian experience. Lada / Zhiguli are made in Togliatti factory in Russia.
@@salemsmith2878 That's ok, the production of Zaporozhets was ended many years ago anyway. It was a funny and nice car (especially the old model) with the air-cooled motor in the back and without seat belts. It used low-octane fuel.

Hello Johnny. You have a great channel. I have a question about real estate in Kyiv. How well are the older apartments sound isolated?
Can you hear your neighbors?
I know you have reinforced concrete floors so it should be a lot better than wooden beams.
I have been thinking about buying an apartment in Kyiv that's why I'm asking.
Hello Sture, I can shine a bit more light on your question.
First of all, in order for you to invest in Ukraine as foreigner you need special Ukrainian "tax number" ( social security number) and a business bank account in Ukraine. This can be done by Ukraine lawyers for fee.
Re Buildings : In Kyiv there are several types of buildings that were build in different times. The type that Johnny lives in is pre revolution apartments, most have been reinforced with metal beams between floors and so on, as these buildings have some historical value and add special 'good looking face' to the city . The wall are about 50 cm thick due to special big bricks that were used in building them. Within the apartment walls are usually of brick and in to 2 layers or more sometimes.
Another building type is "stalinka" that was build somewhat similar to pre revolution buildings, but with some differences; and these builds were build for people that work for government, not for "regular" people. So they too have very good structure, thick walls, but looks of the outside as old soviet style and not as fancy as pre revolution style.
Other one that is popular between older buildings is "cheshka" style apartments. Well planed, a bit smaller, but these apartments made of brick in thinner layer and pre made walls that stuck up as a puzzles. And have a soviet look, because they were build in all Soviet Union.
Next type is "hruchovka" style ( that was build almost until collapse of Soviet Union) , named after Nikita Hruchov... These buildings are small, fast build with pre-made walls, not as sound proof. The kitchen, for example, can be 5m x 5m. They were trying for build fast as many apartments as they can for families that were living in "barracks" -wooden house with no water, bathrooms, and so on and "komunalka" - one room per family with shared bathroom and kitchen apartments that could of have another 3-4 single rooms with one family in one room.
And moving forward - modern apartments that were build in 90th, and new more modern now that are 23-26 stories tall. Although new apartments are sold as unfinished cubes inside from builders, were you have to add your walls sometimes, bathroom from zero , kitchen and appliances ... Usually plumbing ruffly put in.
There are several sites in Ukraine that have real-estate ads , but I don't think they are in English languge, unfortunately. Real- estate in Ukraine is young, agents are not licensed ( any one can be an agent ), and they can trick you, if you don't speak a language and you do not laws.You need to find trustful agent, that speaks English, preferably. Johnny was promoting his agent in of his videos. If you really like to see what is up there I can send you some sites, but you need to do translation from Ukrainian or Russian.
I hope that helps.
It depends on the year and build. But the ones during Stalin and Pre-USSR are great and sound isolating is very good.

This is a very-very-common name in Brazil, "Roberto Carlos" is a Brazilian Soccer Player and There's also a very-famous singer in Brazil with this name, BTW, we don't speak Spanish, but Portuguese... It's a bit similar, we can understand Spanish, but not the same definitely =)
Whomever builds a yurt has his/her spirit permanently imbedded on/in the yurt. The key is, the individual must hold the supporting pole while the form is constructed around it.
Should have just sprayed some on a cloth, and wipe down door rubbers! Also, you should look into auto start function if you can have one added to car..
Johnny, see if you can get the “say hi” app it’s free and I found it great when trying to communicate with Ukrainians.
If you use a car cover, you won't see any damage, until you lift off the cover. Critters can crawl under it to keep warm. Just keep to a schedule of driving it to lube the engine and top off the battery. Get a big 2023 wall calender and mark the days when this needs to be done, hang it on the fridge so you see most often, and will remind you.
Johnny, anytime welcome to Qazaqstan!
Slava Ukraine!
✌️💙💛
Never heard of "winterize" before lol.
Don't worry, it's hilarious that in turn I'm starting to struggle speaking my native language German with my parents in the meantime ... guess I'm watching too much English TH-cam.
Thanks again mate I love your videos . Keep safe .
Stay warm and safe Johnny, I appreciate you sharing your life in Ukraine. Slava Mongolia
Why it's 'slave' now? xD
@@Helda_Ilweranta What do you mean? LOL
@@chubbawubba4287 you just changed it, didn't you?
@@Helda_Ilweranta Yes
This is a important thing to talk about.
Racism is everywhere. But it is rarely prevalent or strong. In my experience it is mostly discomfort with anyone who seems different.
There were early reports of racism during the evacuation of Kiev. It looked like young adult males of Indian and African descent complaining Ukrainian women and children could cut in line for the train out.
I believe most of the reports of racism are russian propaganda.

Washing your car, even in the winter is not silly. You should set a goal to wash it every month and make sure you drive it a bit after sp it's dry after you wash it.
Did you end up buying the Lada?
Your friend at the end of the video with blond hair and green coat could seriously go in to modeling.
Hello Johnny
Just curious.... are there police enforcement as far as speeding, etc?
Yes. But it’s mostly with speed cams. Tickets go straight to my Kyiv resident app. It’s actually really good.
Once a month, TH-cam actually gives me a notification that I asked for.
The young man at 32:41 looks like a model.
He is gorgeous!😍 single?
Mongolian warrior if finally home!
Put some w40 inside key holes and doors every where is a rubber, w40 is so good for everything it won't harm your car no matter where you put it, hope i can help out, have nice day, El viejo, the old man, Lowell massachusetts !
I just wish you would buy a LADA (as a second car) and drive it for that authentic Ukrainian experience!
Cars Zaporozhets or ZAZ were produced in Ukraine and would give the most authentic Ukrainian experience. Lada / Zhiguli are made in Togliatti factory in Russia.
@@ortolitore1522 Ahh spaseba, I was thinking Lada was soviet so it was all good. If not then yeah my mistake, find the Ukrainian version!
@@salemsmith2878 That's ok, the production of Zaporozhets was ended many years ago anyway. It was a funny and nice car (especially the old model) with the air-cooled motor in the back and without seat belts. It used low-octane fuel.
