I love this video because it shows that even during a WAR, people need to have some fun. Anything to help life feel some sort of normalcy, even during the hardest of times. Its great to see you having some fun.
Vita , it was great to see you go out and enjoy your shelf even for just a bit . you deserve some happiness , you looked great , and also very proper for the recognition as a wife of a fallen hero ! 🌻
@@ThinkUkraine i often say to all the people i know that are good people , one day we should all rent a lil field and just relax n have a few just never forget there are far more people that love you then hate you.... i see puppy is having fun
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this video. I try not to judge. I agree that certain activities can be considered "flaunting" and be worse for the morale of your own side than it is for the other side (giving them the finger as in: you cannot destroy our morale). At the same time, people need a way to let off steam / stress. You have your children and your Dacha (plus your cat & dog) to help you with that. Most young people don't. Again, I am not trying to justify their actions - just explain what it could be for. Stay Strong. Never Give Up. Slava Ukraini
Hi Vita those men dancing could be soldiers rotated out and going back soon,even in the two world wars people were out dancing,be careful on that ice ,love to you and your family💙💛
I agree with you, Vita. Such a big contrast between those men fighting in the frontline and those that for some reason evade conscription and just enjoying nightlife. Emocionally, it gives a sense of injustice.
Even in a war time situation, people (if possible) deserve to let their hair down and enjoy themselves! Thank you for sharing this Vita....Much respect from the Republic of Ireland! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍🏅🍻
It is 13.9 C in north Georgia USA right now or around 57F. It’s overcast and wet but I’ll take it. However, the crime rate in Kyiv is probably a lot lower than cities in the United States. It would be wonderful to be able to walk the streets of Kyiv at night without fear of being mugged.
Damn, that last bizarre shot of the figure of a lone kid playing on a swing after curfew, in the dead of night, in an empty park, in the middle of Winter, as the sounds of bombs exploding in the distance says all that can be said about lost innocence and coming of age amidst the tragedy of war. Slava Ukraini..
It is difficult for me to get my head around what is going on over there. I respect you and your family and especially your husband, he must be a great loss to you. I am in the UK and have been on The Homes for Ukranians scheme for some time now. It has taken 22 months for me to realise that the people that desperately need help are in neighbouring countries now. The countries bordering and other western countries People in Germany are finding a language problem. The UK is having some terrible immigration problems. This is having a knock on affect with Ukrainians too. I find it hard to put in to contact that there are men and women giving their lives whole others almost exploit the situation.
Every army is aware of the needs of soldiers, women and men, for relaxation and entertainment. I can't imagine the Ukrainian army being without a special department to provide this. People who are not at all or temporarily not involved in the active struggle do not have to treat themselves worse.
Vita, I can see your reservations about the irony of such an event. However if the money raised goes to the front line then it’s worth it. Best wishes.
Ukraine is a large country bigger than France or Germany, so the War can seem to be " a World away" but that does not mean it isn't under threat with modern weapons.
After the war, ukrainian can gather and dance again. But now Russia may abuse these measures and tell the world that people in Ukraine are happy. And the propaganda is false...❤❤❤
That shady night club is really a problem, people should not be doing that, where there are many dying on the fronts lines to save the country.. I am very liberal, but this is just not proper.. The dance/model party is kind of okeish, but not all the people should be there as well.. People should have common sense.
Vita Our men sleep in Frozen Diseased, Rat Infested Mud Holes and you RUN "F"ing SHIT. You shoud be ASHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve the U.S.Marine in Kiev
Hi Vita, I do not disagree with the hidden motivation of some of the event organizers. If such events honor the war widows like yourself and at the same time show to the enemy that "life goes on in Ukraine and the war is not going to stop life" and at the same time lifts the spirit of the people why not have such controlled events? I think Ukraine is strong enough to fight on the frontlines as well as have a strong willed people at the core that can handle anything that the enemy throws at it. As for those 20-50 people who dance the night away in secret clubs, I would never base my judgement of Ukraine based on those few people, I base my judgement on the tens of thousands of patriots and their families who sacrificed everything for Ukraine, where every planted flag in downtown represents a human being, a family and many untold heroic stories that will be published and talked about at some point later on. - Slava Ukraini 🎉🎉
Hello🙂 You are right… so many untold stories. Yesterday I watched a video where a Ukrainian prisoner of war was telling his story about 10 months in the ruzzian prison. Such unimaginable tortures… I’m still shocked
@@ThinkUkraine Yes, there are so many things unsaid, because the time is not right, but it will change. Some day this war will be over just like other wars in human history and you will reflect on what happened. We are all humans, and sometimes it is all too much, consider going on a short vacation outside of Ukraine, maybe Poland, Moldova, Romania, some place else just to get a break from what is going on and then come back to it refreshed and maybe with different perspective.
You just don’t understand… this is a common misconception that if some country is at war some cities can’t have normal life. Well, almost normal, cause still there are graffitis that remind you of war, posters that motivate you to donate and to join the stormtrooper brigades and also many war veterans with prosthetic legs walking around, people are crippled. In Kyiv life is very good compared to the Eastern parts of Ukraine where some cities have been literally levelled and every building has been destroyed by Russian shells. But I don’t want to express any hate, but just to let you know that even though it may look surreal, this combination of people partying in the capital and people dying of shells or hunger at the frontline, it’s actually the modern reality we live in. I live in Ukraine and I often think of this surrealism as well, and of course for people from other countries it’s especially difficult to really grasp the truth of the situation here.
Привіт Вита 😊 The charity beauty contestants were all wonderful, although there are way more beautiful women walking around Kyiv, Cherkasy, Odesa and all of Ukraine 😊 Already noticed some comments from people that don't want you to show that you can still live a modified version of a normal life, while evil forces bomb your cities, rape and kill your people, kidnap children, commit eco-side flooding entite oblasts... And it looks like the trolls have yet to comment about your upload 🙄 Looks like you will have a busy weekend reading and answering 😅 This cut scene with the child swinging at the playground while the air raid sirens are on, is the best answer to all 🤔 Kisses from Athens, Attiki oblast, Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇺🇦😘
I've been to Kyiv in the first week in January. My GoPro videos reveal my heavy breathing from the cold. I'll see you on the night streets of Kyiv and please let me buy you a drink, (Chia if necessary)
Vita was this a fashion show? I have never been to one. Sorry. I would rather build you a brick patio and fix your doors and install a new roof for you. Oh I think you may need insulation in your ceiling and walls. Vita I pray these things are done by you or for you. they will provide a strong and warm village home. Prayers for you and Ukraine. Edward
@asrhusnord , economies are complex beasts, such things are necessary not only for life, but to generate income, fund taxes to pay for the war and create jobs, a cycle. Life goes on.
They are necessary to some, but here some would see it as provocative. It is not what we would connect with a nation at war or in need. Hereby, I don't say, that people should sit in ruins or freezing around a 10 watt electric bulb, but wise communication is everything if you want support, sympathy, understanding...
@@ThinkUkraine Ukraine's existence depends on continued foreign support. Foreign support requires public support. As late as today, I heard a debate programme on Danish public service radio programme 1 centered around the question if support to Ukraine should continue. If Putin has defined this as an existential fight, so should Ukraine. If too many in supporting nations get the impression, that Ukraine does not need our full attention, then support and attention may be directed e.g. towards the conflict in Palestine. Especially in our two largest Danish cities, Copenhagen and Aarhus (I live in the latter), there have been almost daily demonstrations with thousands of participants in support of Palestine. We have a large minority population with a background from the Middle East, who are very active protesters. A hightened terror-alertness level. Some left wing parties, that have focused on the conflict in the Middle East for decades, supporting the Palestinian people. Ukrainians must bear in mind, that a "new" conflict may quickly push an old conflict into the background. Putin undoubtedly knows that and may start new "fires" in order to make us put Ukraine down the priority list.
@@ThinkUkraine Vita, what I think some people in Ukraine tend to forget is, that we (now I am talking about many countries West of Poland, including my Denmark) are not afraid of the Russians. If we are afraid still, it is often historic, connected to the Cold War era, where it was the Soviet Union and its many satellite states, that were our enemies. Poland, the GDR, Czechoslovakia (even the Ukrainian SSR) were all closer to us, and that was a problem back then. Now they are all in EU and NATO. We are ourselves members of NATO, have been so since its foundation in 1949 and feel safe. Countries that have been part of the Warsaw Pact may look differently at it - been a lot to Poland and they are arming themselves. Their history with Russia/the Soviet Union is a different one. Maybe their problems with Russia go as far back as the 1795-partition. Denmark, on the other hand, doesn't even spend the required 2 percent of its GDP on defence. So even in this situation, the "Russian threat" is far away. To many, Putin's and Medvedev's many threats the last couple of years have become tedious, ridiculous, empty talk. Our sense of security may lie in our importance to the USA (because of Greenland and Faroe Islands being parts of us), control of passage in and out of the Baltic Sea, the island of Bornholm as well as the many international missions we have participated in (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya). So perception of Russia as a threat is very different in different nations. Ask a Danish politician what the largest threat is, and many will say climate change, migration or lack of qualified labour.
Vita I think people just try to do anything possible in the conditions (anything allowed by law) you might see it as a "business as usual" attitude and it might hurt your feelings, but you still have some freedom and people try to keep on living, fighting for their way of life and for freedom... and although now you are worried that many are wounded or die daily and there are so many other problems, but still your capital is not occupied by russians, you have some freedom and dancing is a part of the life and the freedom you're fighting for. Some young people might dance in the evenings but some of those dancing might cure wounded, weave camouflage nets, construct drones or produce artillery shells during the day and in a few months some of them might get mobilized and would have to dodge bullets in trenches. If some of the income from beauty contest goes to army then this is not a bad thing actually - people need a glimpse of happiness and smile sometimes. (Maybe such events also remind them of the freedom they fight for). Your culture, music, dance, beauty, way of life, sense of humor is also important. Kalush Orchestra showed the whole world with their song "Stefania" that UA still needs help and they also danced and played music. Hugs 🤗 😘
HOLD ON! HOLD ON! Why should anyone have to justify to do THAT during war time? NONE of you wanted war with anybody. YOU still, because of us, have that war only on your place. No where else. YOU don't have to excuse anything. The only things wrong in that video are that bomb shelter sign at the entrance - in the same time probably the most iconic possible one..., these heart breaking flags, that curfew thing and of course that noise at the end. First of all - it is courageous of everybody to go there. Who knows, how many missiles picked out of the skies last night where programmed on there? That's the longest possible middle finger to show them. But above all: THIS should be seen by every member of US congress, by every German taxpayer by everyone at the fringes, why supporting you with ALL we have matters. You made defending an artwork, literally, with beauty smile, sarcasm and (certainly not easy) some joy of life. The way your army fights back with the few crumbs it has - is art, the way your government made it's case throughout the democratic world - is art, the way you citizens promote your people - is art - not at least because you "only" show who you are. What will you make in future out of rebuilding your country, developing Europe and limitlessly living in the free world? Your inspiration, encouragement, motivation but as well "kickin'" (Zelenskyy) will be beyond what anyone can imagine. The decent world MUST see that and would be terminally stupid not to invest in that. THIS exactly is the "brand" that brings you forward. "Victorious Ukraine". Much more than "invincible Ukraine". ALL the best. Yes - partly selfishly...
That nightclub should really be investigated.. There is indeed something illegal happening.. How can they be doing that? People should be adequately angry with them, that they do that clubbing, when many people are bravely fighting on the front lines... Those people should really be ashamed. I know, that there are some nice commanders in Ukraine, that could take that responsibility and tell them, that really that's not appropriate behavior during war.. Sign some petitions to authorities. Substantiate it by some law, even international, get some people together. This has to be stopped. Ukraine must win.
Brigitte L Jones. When you were walking about alone at night through icy streets, I thought at least your safe from rapists since it's so slippery, though then realised were in worse danger, that of broken legs.😱😂I am very aware that the ordinary men in Ukraine are fighting in awful hard conditions and it's a minority of of people who are partying hard in some venues in Kiev's. Appreciate the video as it gives another glimpse of - Kyiv at night - even after curfews. We all know that some people get away with breaking the rules.Breakers of rules aren't the desirable company most people want or care that much about.Dancing , drugs, nefarious persons, sleezy men and loose women deserve to be stuck with each other for 6 hrs straight! 🤕😂
It would be nice if Ukraine could impose a mandatory respite partially funded by humanitarian and state funds where people can leave the country for at least two weeks every six months. I think it would help the mental health of a society who’s gone through so much.
You are touching an important point here, and that is, that Ukraine must consider the signals that it sends to the world around it. Especially in the West. If life appears too normal, too luxurious, too good, it will be harder to explain why support for Ukraine must continue. If we get the impression, that electricity is working, and Kiev is luxurious wellfunctioning hotels with burlesque shows and ladies with huge tits, why should we support the country? There is a world apart from that show and to the Eastern trenches, and every question that can be asked about how the image of Ukraine is being handled, is potentially harmful. I live in Aarhus, Denmark 🇩🇰, and from the Ukrainians I have seen here/met so far, I also have the impression, that there are a number of men of military age. So if we get the impression, that Ukrainian men avoid military service or risk of being called in by staying here with us, it could also affect the public Danish support to Ukraine. In the beginning of the war, we were told that we would almost solely receive women, children and the elderly. Only very few men between 18-60, as they were banned from leaving Ukraine (unless they had some very special reasons). In times of war, we may expect the populations affected to act in certain ways, if it makes any sense?
Do you sing and/or dance? If we lose culture, then, the non-Rusnipizda win. Culture is why we live from one spectrum to all the way to the other side. You need to move on. You deserve it. You must find someone who will make you happy. Please don't be someone who won't take advice. Don't be a martyr. Don't let us who say we luv you interfere with someone who loves you and who finds you.
I love this video because it shows that even during a WAR, people need to have some fun. Anything to help life feel some sort of normalcy, even during the hardest of times. Its great to see you having some fun.

@@ThinkUkraine so you was lucky. Last year curfew was already 20:00 and that time it was hard to get the metro.
HOLD ON! HOLD ON!
Why should anyone have to justify to do THAT during war time?
NONE of you wanted war with anybody.
YOU still, because of us, have that war only on your place. No where else.
YOU don't have to excuse anything.
The only things wrong in that video are that bomb shelter sign at the entrance - in the same time probably the most iconic possible one..., these heart breaking flags, that curfew thing and of course that noise at the end.
First of all - it is courageous of everybody to go there.
Who knows, how many missiles picked out of the skies last night where programmed on there?
That's the longest possible middle finger to show them.
But above all:
THIS should be seen by every member of US congress, by every German taxpayer by everyone at the fringes, why supporting you with ALL we have matters.
You made defending an artwork, literally, with beauty smile, sarcasm and (certainly not easy) some joy of life.
The way your army fights back with the few crumbs it has - is art, the way your government made it's case throughout the democratic world - is art, the way you citizens promote your people - is art - not at least because you "only" show who you are.
What will you make in future out of rebuilding your country, developing Europe and limitlessly living in the free world?
Your inspiration, encouragement, motivation but as well "kickin'" (Zelenskyy) will be beyond what anyone can imagine.
The decent world MUST see that and would be terminally stupid not to invest in that.
THIS exactly is the "brand" that brings you forward.
"Victorious Ukraine".
Much more than "invincible Ukraine".
ALL the best.
Yes - partly selfishly...
will I get such a dress next, after victory?
@@Defender_Rocky didn't you want a Vychyvanka first?
Thank you! Greetings from Victorious Ukraine ♥️💛💙
You will definitely have 😁
❤❤❤❤❤

Why don’t you buy some shoe covers with metal studs on them so you don’t slip on the ice?
Honestly I never thought about it.) Thanks!
That nightclub should really be investigated.. There is indeed something illegal happening..
How can they be doing that?
People should be adequately angry with them, that they do that clubbing, when many people are bravely fighting on the front lines...
Those people should really be ashamed.
I know, that there are some nice commanders in Ukraine, that could take that responsibility and tell them,
that really that's not appropriate behavior during war..
Sign some petitions to authorities.
Substantiate it by some law, even international, get some people together.
This has to be stopped.
Ukraine must win.
Brigitte L Jones. When you were walking about alone at night through icy streets, I thought at least your safe from rapists since it's so slippery, though then realised were in worse danger, that of broken legs.😱😂I am very aware that the ordinary men in Ukraine are fighting in awful hard conditions and it's a minority of of people who are partying hard in some venues in Kiev's. Appreciate the video as it gives another glimpse of - Kyiv at night - even after curfews. We all know that some people get away with breaking the rules.Breakers of rules aren't the desirable company most people want or care that much about.Dancing , drugs, nefarious persons, sleezy men and loose women deserve to be stuck with each other for 6 hrs straight! 🤕😂
I didn't understand any of that
And the War...forget? 😮
All of these people should be conscripted and sent straight to the front lines.
They should be sent. But they will be useless there.
No doubt you would have won the beauty contest had you entered, but I understand that it’s not your thing.
I am too old for beauty contests and you’re right, it’s not for me🙂 But thank you!🙂❤️
@@ThinkUkraine in my opinion, you are both beautiful and very precious.
I have been to Ukraine, Twice. It’s a wonderful country with wonderful people. I will return to Ukraine one day
To life my love 🤔🤓✌️🥸😂❤️🙏🙏💯
It would be nice if Ukraine could impose a mandatory respite partially funded by humanitarian and state funds where people can leave the country for at least two weeks every six months. I think it would help the mental health of a society who’s gone through so much.
It’s a great idea ❤️
Kyiv not Kiev
🙏💛💙
You are touching an important point here, and that is, that Ukraine must consider the signals that it sends to the world around it. Especially in the West. If life appears too normal, too luxurious, too good, it will be harder to explain why support for Ukraine must continue. If we get the impression, that electricity is working, and Kiev is luxurious wellfunctioning hotels with burlesque shows and ladies with huge tits, why should we support the country? There is a world apart from that show and to the Eastern trenches, and every question that can be asked about how the image of Ukraine is being handled, is potentially harmful.
I live in Aarhus, Denmark 🇩🇰, and from the Ukrainians I have seen here/met so far, I also have the impression, that there are a number of men of military age. So if we get the impression, that Ukrainian men avoid military service or risk of being called in by staying here with us, it could also affect the public Danish support to Ukraine. In the beginning of the war, we were told that we would almost solely receive women, children and the elderly. Only very few men between 18-60, as they were banned from leaving Ukraine (unless they had some very special reasons). In times of war, we may expect the populations affected to act in certain ways, if it makes any sense?
Hmmm, something is rotten, in the state of Denmark... it's
@@Madmax714211 Shakespeare said that. What are you saying?
@@aarhusnordit's spelt Kyiv , my Danish friend! It's unbecoming, to pick on a woman!
@@Madmax714211 Here in Denmark, the spelling is Kiev. Just like Amled is spelled Hamlet. And Elsinore is Helsingør.
@@aarhusnordok my friend, I haven't had my coffee yet, here in the rotten west.
hello
🙂
Do you sing and/or dance? If we lose culture, then, the non-Rusnipizda win. Culture is why we live from one spectrum to all the way to the other side. You need to move on. You deserve it. You must find someone who will make you happy. Please don't be someone who won't take advice. Don't be a martyr. Don't let us who say we luv you interfere with someone who loves you and who finds you.
Why aren't those high-end women at the front? Giving out free 🐈 to the soldiers stopping Russia.
At least they are in Ukraine and didn’t find an escape in still safe Europe
@ThinkUkraine Tell those hotties 🔥 to do their patriotic duty.
There is always a butt
