In my vlog, I show real Ukrainians and what they think right now. I want people to know more about Ukraine and not forget that we have a war going on. You can write your questions in the comments, and I will ask Ukrainians.
I am American, was in Kraków in March 2022, and was compelled to help the Poles bring in refugees.
My family prays for the people of Ukraine every night.
Ukrainians have been thrust into the centre point of history, and we will be with you until victory.
As an American, Everybody remember the us is not the hero in this case. It is the brave, strong and persevering people of Ukraine who are fighting for all democratic nations. I PROUDLY STAND WITH UKRAINE! I hope to visit their beautiful country one day. AMERICA AND EVERY FREE NATION STAND WITH YOU!
I visited Ukraine many years ago and the people were smart, loving, intelligent and welcoming. It was a great experience. I am sure I will visit again because Ukraine will win this war.
Stay safe Olga. The world is with you.❤
Yes, we are waiting for our friends from other countries. We will win the enemy and will invite you to attend Ukraine one more time🇺🇦
@@olgafromkyiv I will be more than happy to be in your beautiful country once again.
English people love Ukrainians shout from england 🇬🇧❤🇺🇦

Olga please stay safe and strong ❤ from U.S.A.
I love how you show us your country throughout the interviews. That church looks like something out of a fairy tale. So awesome. All prayers and wishes of goodwill for the Ukrainian people
I've never been to Ukraine but I am certain that I will visit soon. It feels like my second home and I have taken the places and the people to my heart. A beautiful land filled with brave and beautiful souls.
All love ❤️to the Ukrainians from the U.S 🇺🇸 & Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💛
Heroyam Slava!!
@olgafromkyiv Wow, you are a Nazist girl? Want to tell who are the heroes??? Is it Stepan Bandera and the 14th SS Waffen Division Galicia and the OUN and UIA? No glory to your murderous heroes. I spit on them.
I feel a kinship with the Ukrainian People, the freedom and liberty you discovered was organic and self inspired. I'm inspired by your strength and bravery. Good Fortunes Great Successes and Many Blessings Slava Ukraine 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦💪
Ukraine is a beautiful country with beautiful strong good people. May the US and Ukraine be allies forever more.
Did the last fellow have a Maple Leafs hat on? Nice! The USA is a great friend to us in Canada as well. Especially with Joe Biden in charge. Excellent video, Olga. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦 Allied forever

Americans love Ukrainians and Ukraine 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦
This American here definitely does. 💛💙
Not just Americans. Everyone loves Ukraine, everyone except the Kremlin Goblin.
No. I have no love for these people who support a government that sends their men to die - now over 600,000 people. I have. I have zero love for these people who celebrate the receipt of military aid from a corrupt government produced from a rigged election. The same government that has been instrumental in CREATING the war on their territory with this puppet-clown Zelinski. I have NO love for these people who glorify the Nazis and Stepan Bandera. These people live in a surveillance state. Even if they wanted to disagree, they could not. The SBU would make them disappear.
Here is a big, "good luck on your own," from America.
@pablodelsegundo9502 mind your own business, hispanic.
I wouldn't fret (worry) about the few people in the American Congress (parliament) that aren't interested in the situation outside of its borders. By and large, bipartisan support within the government for Ukraine is quite high. In the past I would see some people drive their trucks around town with very large American flags (something like 2 meters by 1 meter). Around the United States, these American flags were replaced with that of the Ukrainian flag to show support for Ukrainian sovereignty and independence. Also, among all of the countries, relations between the governments of the United States and Russia have never been very good (aside from a few sporadic years in the late 90s and early 2000s). I don't think many Americans tolerate bullies, especially if its Russia trying to assert dominance over Ukraine. What the Russian government also seems to not understand is by targeting civilians it only incites "the West" to provide greater aid to Ukraine.
unfortunately it's a lot more than a few and it's in the most powerful seats in our government, so i understand their concern, and on top of that it's just been historically fashionable to steer the opposition direction when a party has nothing to sell, and at the moment, the GoP is hitting rock bottom, so they're really grasping hard any anti-biden rhetoric they can find, as baseless as it may be. i hope we can go back to having somewhat sane politicians on the right again, it's bad for democracy and it's making the GoP shed voters. at the moment that's good, but i truly believe the evenly split two party system is a part of why we've been so successful. idiots on either side would probably be bad for us, and the even split keeps it balanced in the middle where we seem to do best
Still not worried? Chances of aid getting passed looking worse and worse.
Altough I know it's not easy for you, people there, despite the war, seem so chilled out, calm and mentally stable. I love your spirit and your faith in our common values! Stay strong!
From Vancouver, Canada. We had upstairs neighbours from Ukraine. Very lovely people ❤
Much respect for Ukraine!
I love your people and your country and can’t wait to come visit! It is true that we share the spirit of freedom and perseverance! Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦💜
Greetings from Ukraine!
Yes, we will be happy to meet here our foreign friends😌
Glory to the Heroes🇺🇦
The little church looks warm and cozy . A sanctuary for lost souls
Thanks for the video. You and Ukrainian will be in my Prayers. To support you and your country. Keep your spirit. Alive
I'm American and I'm praying for you Ukraine 🇺🇦 and I will always support you. Love you. I would love to visit your country someday....if it is possible
Sending much love from USA , there are many here that wish we could do more for Ukraine , I am a disable Veteran proud to have been part of Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Provide Comfort after the war ended. I pray for Ukraine every day and hope for an end to this totally unnecessary aggression.
Thanks for showing this beautiful historic location and I love to hear the gratitude of Ukrainians for American help.
Continue your work on showing your beautiful country and people!
Love from Germany.
What a beautiful place, and what beautiful people! Great interviews, Olga, I loved it!
Canadian, living in the US. I feel so much for the Ukranian people, and I can only hope our leadership supports you even more. Its a shame you have animals as neighbors, who act like pigs everywhere they travel. They are complete idiots when they are overseas, and, by their actions and war crimes, show exactly their true character. I have been to Ukraine, and will return. Nothing but support and hope that you can make them pay, for eternity, for the crimes they commit.
US 🇺🇸 Canada 🇨🇦 UK 🇬🇧 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 were all brothers and sisters we value Freedom much love ❤️ from the U.S my Canadian brethren
@@RAL0981 Canada had before the war, the largest Ukrainian Diaspora outside of ruzzia. There were around 1.5 million Ukrainian Canadians, now there is probably closer to 1.8m. We’ve taken in last I check 220k refugees.
Much respect. Slava Ukraine!
I'm not even christian, but I LOVE that church!
Much love and respect to the Ukrainian people, from the state of Ohio in the US.
Thank you for giving us a chance to see parts of your beautiful country. USA loves Ukraine! Stay Strong 💪💪
You’re welcome!
I am happy that this video is interesting for you
Thankyou for the interviews.
Nice seeing this charming location.
Take care
Thank you!
Yes, I will 😌
I have been as close to Ukraine as Bulgaria, where my friends were encouraging me to meet their cousin, who lived in Bulgaria with her Ukrainian mother and grandmother. She was therfore fluent in the language as well. Although our relationship only lasted three weeks, she and Ukraine have often been in my thoughts and prayers. Thus far, Ukraine has not merely survived, but is thriving! It’s nice to know that Ukrainians appreciate our efforts and sacrifices. We have been independent 247 years years this month. Ukraine gained its full freedom only 30 years ago. Slava Ukraine!
Tucson, Arizona Sends its love and support....You WILL win this. !!!!!
Americans and Ukrainians have lots of similarities, which is why they get along very well. Great interviews, very well done, and God bless and save Ukraine.
No they don't.
Awesome video, love from the UK. SLAVA UKRAINI
I am glad our friendship is growing. In spite of the war, let’s always play well together and get on together.
This video would be a lovely gift to share with our American friends , particularly lawmakers and others, who would appreciate it, as well as ordinary Americans… say, for example, a big thank you from the People of Ukraine is shown on billboards in Times Square…. I would say that such a gesture in London, Paris, Berlin would be amazing.
Just a thought from your friends for Freedom in Canada 🇨🇦
Glory to the Heroes 🇺🇦
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
God bless 🙏
Thanks for interviews and 8:44 blooper reel 😂
Ahaha just wanted show how it was😅😅
@@olgafromkyiv this is why you have to watch to the end ! Just like credits in a movie 🍿 🎥
Great video with interesting interviews. I like this channel!
Love y'all. 🇺🇦

Hi Olga 👋 I saw your live stream last week. I wasn’t quite sure who you were, but now I remember these street interviews. Cool!
American are disgusted with what Russia has done and we fully support Ukraine to push back the orcs. I am somewhat frustrated with our leaders, however; they should be supplying modern aircraft to Ukraine, months ago.
Yes. Should have started that, a year ago, already. Thing is, everything takes such a long time ⌛... 🐌
A lot is piecemeal, initially, before the Weaponry starts flowing and in greater quantities.
We (🇺🇸) need to skip the initial hesitations, and just give Ukraine what it needs.
1st of all, send our ATACMS to Ukraine. They really needs our ATACMS now!
Any Wars, Occupations, Exercises Must Stop!! Thank You Olga
Such kind comments! Ukraine reminds us of what we once were: scrappy underdogs who fought for our ideals. I sincerely hope that we will preserve the political conditions that make our help possible. We can’t abandon Ukraine!
It's interesting to me that people always say america has no culture, but i see so many people from other countries, like ukraine, saying we have such great culture and history. it's nice to hear!
Slava Ukraini, from Australia.
Ukrainians were some of the 1st to jump on board to help right after 9/11 a lot of americans remember that ❤
Americans never heard of Ukraine but America always help those in need and always fight terrorists
So thank you so much for your support 💙💛
I know that you really helped us a lot and is so grateful for this
I watch videos of street interviews in Russia as well and its just insane to see the difference between a free country and an authoritarian one. Most russians on those interviews are scared to say anything. Ukraine can speak their minds. As it should be
we are with you..
Thank you for making this, we must do more to help! Slava Ukraini!!
One thing all Americans agree is that supporting Ukraine is the right decision. I personally sponsor a Ukrainian single mother of a 3 year old boy with $600 USD a month who's been out of work since the war. To the other Americans reading this.... $600 USD goes a long ways in Ukraine. But I haven't heard one American say supporting Ukraine is a bad decision.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 much love from America.
PS you have the most beautiful women.
Ps if anyone else wants to sponsor a Ukrainian I encourage that you do so. Cost of living there is very low. The lady I help only pays $300 a month for rent. What may be a little bit of money for you will be a huge help for them. With the war going on over there many folks are out of work in some areas or had to relocate and could really use the help. God bless Ukraine I pray for y'all every night 🇺🇦
@@Abysstvs It depends where one lives and what kind of apartment, but average rent in Ukraine is about $70 a month, average salary is about $400 a month. I'm a former US expat who lived in Ukraine until the war, I only left because my mom was too worried about me and my children. Cost of living is very low in comparison to US (for Americans, not necessarily Ukrainians) so if you have disposable income it will be easy-peasy to help support a family in Ukraine.
Thank you for supporting a Ukrainian family 💛💙
We want you to have your freedom just like we got 250 years ago!
Щиро дякуємо за чудове відео ❤
Слава всім захисникам України 🙏💙🇺🇦🇺🇦
Americans do support freedom and wish to support Ukraine, however, we are enduring economic problems and struggling to support our own citizens after a fire disaster in Hawaii and a hurricane in Florida. If there is a reduction in aid it should not be perceived as indifference or abandonment. We will do our best.
Дивіться головою на цю дверну раму, ой, надто пізно. Дякуємо за публікацію вашого проекту, дуже цікаво, молодці! Я з нетерпінням чекаю відвідування, коли орків буде нейтралізовано або вигнано назад до вигрібних ям, з яких вони виповзли. Слава Україні, Ти в наших серцях і молитвах.
Mind your head on that door frame, oops too late. Thank you for publishing your project, very interesting well done ! I look forward to visiting when the orcs have been neutralized or driven back to the cesspits they crawled out of. Slava Ukraine, You Are in our hearts & prayers.
My late Mom was Czechoslovak and my late Stepfather was Ukrainian (I’m US born). I think you have more similarities with us, US, than with the Orcs. Even your language is more like Slovak than like Russian. Also more Ukrainians speak English than the Orcs. 😉😘. Boh Zehnaj 🇺🇦, svoboda👊🏻!
My heart jas been with Ukraine since the evil Russians first invaded. I jave been in full support of Ukraine since and will always be!
Glory to the heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!
All of us in the West are for you Ukraine !!! Don`t ever doubt that . Slava
The best friend of Ukrainians Lindsey Graham urges Ukraine to lower the age of draft from 27 to 25. “We need more people in the line,” he said.
Friends, you say?
This American is proud to call Ukraine our ally. I wish we would just so damn much more. Why do we send almost a trillion dollars a year if we can’t help defend out friends and allies?
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words and love ❤️ the dog 🐕🌈🇺🇦☝️✌️⛪️✊👏👏👏= freedom with success smile 😀
Great channel Olga
Thank you so much! It’s important for me when people say words like these about that what I create
Really important
Любов до України та всіх українців, з Америки
🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇦
Americans are giving more than military aid. We are giving billions and billions for help with everything the people need. I pray for Ukraine to be free. And happy
Слава Україні!🇺🇦 Nice church, I think they made the door lower so people won't forget to bow down before entering God's place
I love Ukraine a lot and American 🇺🇸 do love Ukraine 🇺🇦 and I know my country send you people a lot’s of weapons to help you out but I wish we can do more but my president Biden is scared to to get this war over for you all can go home safe and live the why you want to your friends from American 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your support and what you do
We Ukrainians really appreciate it💙💛
Maybe New Hampshire will adopt Ukraine as the shining example of their state motto.
These good friends pushed you into this. Some friends....
I'm still hoping for a peaceful resolution to this insane war. Ukraine is a sovereign country that hasn't done anything to Russia. On the flip side Russia placed around 300 thousand soldiers on the border of Ukraine when this whole started a sign of an invasion. My prayers go to all of Ukraine and its citizens.
Where can order one of those T-shirts?
Which one? With Ukrainian trident?
@@olgafromkyiv I posted a reply but i guess it didnt get posted. Anyway, Yes, I believe he is asking about your Green Trident Tshirt. If im incorrect, please correct me as i know there are a couple places ive seen that sell similar ones, but fist time I seen it was from the channel, Reporting from Ukraine( he has link in bio uasupporter)
If there are other ones that also pledge X amount of money to UA through the purchese's please list them in your bio under your "support links". Alot of other channels are doing this in order to help each other as well as spread awareness. Personally im also trying to find a Tshirt that has a little larger Trident on the back instead of the front.
@@olgafromkyiv Yes, the one you are wearing. I'm in Texas can order it online?
G-d bless America ❤
I cannot wait til after this war is over to try your most famous Borscht ❤
I wonder how these Ukrainians would react if people were to gaslight them about American atrocities in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, and other countries.
As a Ukrainian Canadian I’m very thankful for Americas support of Ukraine in her time of need. This was the America I idolized as a child. But also being Canadian, I’ve seen their decline the past couple of decades, especially with the trump infection.
I wish Ukraine the best in reclaiming their freedom from Russia, and I think they will succeed. But I think Ukraine may struggle afterward to maintain the freedom of the people, because wars and war money are yet another thing that can feed the corruption of officials.
As for how Ukrainians feel about the US ... I think that honestly for them the US is very distant and they are just using the US. They don't really know about the US or care about it.🗽
I grew up during the cold war in an anticommunist family with a lot of sympathy for Ukraine, but didn't really pay attention until 2014 and was frustrated we didn't help more. Then coincidentally I discovered Jinjer in 2018 and they instantly became my favorite band. Despite their having ambivalent feelings back then it made my pro-Ukraine feelings more personal. And having grown up with rightwing propaganda I later rejected I could understand how even smart people can be victims of propaganda. Also I have a Ukrainian coworker now. On days when are in the office together we usually sit down and talk for an hour to catch up. I have a military background and as a kid read everything I could find about military tech so I share that side and he gives an on the ground view from friends and family in the Mykolaiv area.
Btw the narrative that Ukraine will lose aid if the counteroffensive isn't a spectacular success is nonsense, at least as far as America goes. It's locked in for reasons of political structure and because of the geopolitical threats we face. The only Chance Putin has is if Trump gets elected and he's got a snowball's chance in hell.
Ok, a bit of detail. The Republicans in general are softer on aid to Ukraine though that's by no means universal. But everything we give Ukraine congress compensates the military for, they they can use that to buy new weapons. And the Republicans in general are more in the pocket of the military industrial complex while Democrats tend to fight for cuts to military spending. So even if Republicans aren't as pro Ukraine in general, they'll still vote for aid as a backdoor way to increase military spending.
Also there's a narrative that we should focus on China instead since it looks very likely that we'll be in a war there soon. But I guarantee you nobody in Congress except maybe MTG is stupid enough to believes that's how it works. America's military has been set up since the cold war to fight two wars simultaneously - one in Europe against Russia and one in Asia against China and/or North Korea. But Ukraine is cutting Russia down to size so we _can_ focus nearly everything on China, and everyone in our military and government who has looked honestly at the question has concluded that supporting Ukraine is the most militarily efficient way to take Russia off the board. Also, restarting large scale production of munitions for Ukraine gives us a huge head start on that eventual future war, and those weapon replacements that are paid for by support for Ukraine is letting the military modernize our hardware.
I kind of like the Russians a little bit more. I have a Czech sister-in-law, an Indian wife, and I am from California.
It's great to hear the positive comments from the people of Ukraine, as the world already knows, once The United States shows up we never leave, lol. But on a more serious note, we spent 20 years in Afghanistan and we will spend even more in helping Ukraine to victory.
Приємно чути позитивні коментарі від народу України, оскільки світ уже знає, як тільки Сполучені Штати з’являються, ми ніколи не залишаємо їх, лол. Але якщо говорити серйозніше, ми провели 20 років в Афганістані, і ми витратимо ще більше, щоб допомогти Україні перемогти.
Ouch..!!
Come on America don’t fuck around.
I wish President Selensky and President Putin a happy 9th of May and a happy 27th of January. (from a German) 🙂
"He said he would say little"....!!
Poor people. Praising someone who dragged them into the war
The political scene in america is going to change. My advice to all ukrainians is to join the military or leave the country.
The first one definitely knows about US politics, and how more Republicans (especially in the Senate, but not mentionned explicitely) would mean less money for Ukraine
I'm American and I think the US should do more. Ukraine should have had squadrons of F16's and F15's a year ago. There has been too much emphasis on making sure Russia loses, and not enough on ensuring Ukraine wins.
the girl on the right reminds me of the creature from Predator. I would not be surprised if modeling agencies come calling after her 5:50
Would Ukrainians rather get military support from the current US administration, or stop the war all together with a "different" administration?
It seems like there are many military age males hanging out.
❤😊
😊
I had interesting conversations with Ukrainians in Kyiv in 2019 about their new leader. I remember telling them that the US would send much better weapons than Russia has if they were invaded. I am sad about the war, but glad we have the leadership to assure that Ukraine wins. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

When you went into the church, you should have had a bit more information about it.
Can you explain to the world what "Surzhyk" is?
It’s when people use Ukrainian and russian languages in one moment. When Ukrainian words are using not correct because of influence of russian language on this. I don’t like it, hope that people will more use only correct Ukrainian words. But it’s also when in one sentence people use mix of words from Ukrainian and russian.
@@olgafromkyiv I live on the border of USA California and Mexico. We have "Spanglish", Spanish-English. I can see your opinion on mix with Russian. Better to move forward with Ukranian. My parents spoke Polish and German as children. They only spoke English to us so we would speak as a native English speakers. But living on the border of USA and Mexico, you learn some Spanglish with others. Your English is pretty good👍
Americans as such are o.k., but their nation seems to be polarized and in internal crisis as never before. Since Trump lost the election, one can only wonder what will happen, if he is arrested or not allowed to run for another term. This is a matter of concern, because what the world needs is not a superpower that is unstable. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🇺🇦
Duck !
The one girl who is worried about American politics is correct to worry. If Trump is elected, he will stop aid to Ukraine to appease his buddy Putin. I am a Republican and will not support Trump. Much better choices!
That small church is beautiful.
Yes😌
As an American, I am so happy my tax dollars are going to Ukraine right now. Also to the young lady who talked about the Republicans, I generally despise the Republicans, but on the issue of Ukraine they are almost as strong as the Dems are. The big Senate vote was 95-4. The only problem is Trump. But even in a worse case scenario where Trump beats Biden there is a 3 month period after the election where Biden can flood money to Ukraine. But really, the war will be over way before then
Americans are good people, I like them but Vietnam, Afganistan and Iraq were all very bad mistakes and they need to stop doing that, they are losing international respect
They were mistakes, but many Americans were against those wars.
'Mistakes'...to those who are clueless about those wars. And most apparently are clueless about it all (Western media, to blame)
A freedom, sure! Life for "nuland's cookies"😆
