    Excellent work of the special services in the conditions of war. I'm glad to hear that. The sabotage continues and the inspection measures are justified.

      Why are you glad the sabotage continues?
      It's because of ignorant people like you supporting Ukraine that this tragedy continues. It could have never started if the Americans had just stayed the hell out of other people's business.

    In January in the Moscow region on Epiphany (January 19) it is usually (but not always) very cold -15...-20C. These frosts are also called the Epiphany frosts, which last for about one week. But in general, winters in Russia, at least in the Moscow region where I live, have become much warmer in recent years than in my childhood. Climate warming on Earth is no joke

    Очень рад что вы понимаете (и принимаете) все предпринимаемые меры безопасности в российском аэропорту Шереметьево, в частности по отношению к тем кто имеет украинский паспорт, так как за последние два с лишним года очень много произошло и продолжает происходить террористических актов именно от украинцев въехавших в Россию, и в том числе и от женщин въехавших с детьми. Так что проверка просто необходима даже ради того, что бы и Вы как принявшие сторону России были целы и невредимы. А проверка всех гаджетов необходима по причине того, что многие въезжающие украинцы, говоря о симпатиях к России в которую они приехали, тем не менее в своих гаджетах и аккаунтах имеют противоположные высказывания, которые находят сотрудники ФСБ даже если эти сообщения тщательно удалили ранее, в которых поддержка ВСУ, радостные лайки против России и прочие высказывания, которые ранее были направлены против России. Так что если вы с чистой душой приехали в Россию, то вам не чего боятся, а проверку в аэропорту просто принять как необходимую в данное сложное для России и её граждан процедуру. Добро пожаловать в Россию!
    P.S. А вот шапку (хотя бы лёгкую, вязанную) по нашей погоде, даже если тепло, всегда нужно одевать, так как можно легко простудится до головной боли и соплей, а так же застудить уши, которые долго придётся лечить, а так же подхватить менингит, что вообще может привести к тяжёлой инвалидности и даже смерти.

    • @marias5088
      @marias5088 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Менингит можно подхватить только воздушно-капельным путем от людей, но никак не от неношения шапки в холод.

    I love how upon seeing and feeling snow your Scottish accent instantly got so much thicccer.
    Sorry if our feds roughed some feathers. After all, you are a Brit, with a Ukrainian wife. They are just doing their jobs. I think if a Chinese man with a Russian wife would be trying to enter Ukraine to live in Kyiv, they would spend some time crossing the border too. At least this should make you feel a bit safer once you are here (not really lol).

  • @Andrey_Bodrey75
    @Andrey_Bodrey75 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

    The problem is that for Ukrainians, entry to Russia is only through Sheremetyevo Airport and a conversation with the special services. This is the reality and you have to understand the reasons. But at the same time, a Ukrainian can now easily obtain Russian citizenship in 10 to 90 days, depending on registration there. In any case, I realized that you overcame all the difficulties and were missed. Welcome!))

    Welcome to Moscow, we regret what you had to endure at the airport, but unfortunately, we cannot do without such security measures. The recent terrorist attack in Moscow is proof of this. 33 years ago we lived in the same country, but already in 1992, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine was created, only those officers who confirmed their readiness to fight Russia during the interview were appointed to command positions. I hope that everything will be fine for you in Russia, take care of yourself and wear a hat, otherwise you may get sick.

We are already enjoying some of the many great things this beautiful country has to offer our family. As for the hat... my partner always complains when I don't wear one, great advice.

      @@NonWokeBloke A friend of mine lives in Donetsk. A week before the start of the SVO, Donetsk began to be shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a way that had not been shelled since 2014. The whole calculation of this provocation was that Russia would respond to the shelling and give a pretext for introducing "sanctions from hell". After which, Russia would capitulate in about 6 months due to the sanctions. And then they would begin to weaken and rob China. But Russia was supported by the Arab countries and did not increase oil production (the Saudis said they would be able to do so no earlier than 2027). India buys our oil, makes fuel and resells it to Europe. Russia could, having gathered all its armed forces, defeat Ukraine in 2-3 months, but from the very beginning this was a war with the globalists. Therefore, now we are seeing a repeat of "Napoleon's army march on Moscow". The arsenals of NATO countries are empty and they have no time for China. But the people of Ukraine suffer the most from this war. And more than any other country, Ukrainians have left for Russia. Now I'm watching the "Country Acres" channel. A family of farmers from Canada with 8 children have arrived and are building a house in the Nizhny Novgorod region. They already have about 200 thousand subscribers. Take a look, maybe something will be interesting to you. Good luck to you in your new place. I think you made the right choice.

      Thank you. I agree with your assessment. I have thinking friends around me and we do not buy into the Western narrative. I'm please the story has not played out how they hoped but just like you I am shocked and saddened by the devastation that Western power hungry fools have brought on the people of Ukraine (and the Russian armed forces) as well as harvesting a country of it's resources and leaving it broken. It is sick what man will do for power.
      As for the Canadian family I have watched some videos with interest. I am very please for them.
      Thank you for your detailed comment. I hope it get read many times.

      When I was in Kiev 5 years ago I remember the mix. I remember a little hostility then too. I was corrected by a waiter for saying thank you in Ukrainian. He told me to say it in Russian. The person I was with got into an argument with him. That event stuck in my mind. However, I have little experience so I do not know the pulse of the Ukrainian heartbeat.

      Not yet. She is still living in our old house in Marbella with a good friend. We intend to bring her over (and two cats) at the end of the summer. We are travelling to the Altai Republic in the spring/summer and thought it best to wait until we get back from there and possibly change the apartment for a house outside the city. We'll see, plans constantly fluctuate.... but we all miss her like crazy.

    I think they should have a higher priority for people with little kids and for the elderly at the Russian customs. Yes, you should have asked for water. If they saw you had kids, I don't see why they wouldn't give you some bottled water.
