Going Back to Ukraine on an OVERNIGHT TRAIN: Chișinău to KYIV 🇲🇩-🇺🇦
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2022
- It's been a long time since I've been home to Kyiv and an even longer time since the Chișinău to Kyiv train route has ran. Just one week before my trip the railroad line between the two countries reopened since 24 years ago. This would be a very special trip back home to Ukraine from Moldova. Join me on this journey back home to Kyiv, Ukraine.

commendable the train drivers and all who work to have kept the trains running into and in ukraine 💪🇺🇦
Agreed, the Ukrainian train staff are Heroes in this war for sure.
@@JohnnyFDUkraine should use simple common sense get rid of their stupid american style Big ego’s and give in to Putins demands NOW before the country is nuked and obliterated by russia otherwise world war 3 will start no doubt about it. There are no winners of wars humans cannot afford to keep on repeating the huge devastating mistakes made in it’s history as temporary residents on this planet.
Missing Kyiv... forced to leave on 24th in a rush, drove 20h drive to Moldova 24th-25th, then up north in europe with a 48h straight drive with two stops for 1h sleep each. cannot believe its almost a year ago...
I'm happy they opened this route for the train.
Johnny stay safe. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Glory to Jesus Christ. GLORY TO GOD. Not glory to Ucraine or Russia... Our grand grand mothers where FULLy faithful People going to Church.. And were happy.. We bow to money instead of bowing to God.. And we have 80 percent divorce rate
@@vitmast5262 Glory to Ukraine Glory to Moldova!
@@AlexMartin-dc6es how old are you daddy s son?
Thank you very much for everything you do for the freedom and Ukraine!
Glad you made it home Johnny 🇺🇦❤stay safe long journey physically and emotionally 🙏 love always from flooded🌧🌬🌫 Australia 🇦🇺 😘
So good to have great friends to see you off. Stay safe Johnny!
May the sunflowers of Ukraine grow again in abundance when the Antichrist in no more. Slava Ukraini...land of warriors 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦
Lots of neo fascists in the west of Ukraine actually. Just ask the ethnic Russian Ukrainians.
@@annoyingchannel8812 I am russian speaking Ukrainian, my mom is from russia, I live in Ukraine my whole life and never had any problems. so you are lying you bot.
@@annoyingchannel8812 By the way strong and brave Ukrainian heroes keep advancing aand turning pootins army into fertilizer
If you ever need somewhere with good food in Chisinau, there's a great little canteen where most of the drivers eat at the north bus station.
I love old school technology like trains and centralized steam heating because they are war resilient. Easy to repair when damaged. I read the railway system in Ukraine really helped get a lot of people to safety.
Jake Broe's Channel is great. Everyone should tune in to him. Brilliant coverage of the war.
Train station you said it is old but meself like the buildings olden yet stronger still standing and very great design indeed. Your friends Alex and lady also showing the great places.
God BLESS TRAIN AND ALL WHO HELPED KEEP OPERATING! GOD BLESS!!
The information about the rail link Chișinău - Kiev is not 100% accurate. Until the covid pandemic, there used to be many trains Chișinău - Moscow with a stop in Kiev. So, the link actually existed almost all the time. Happy to see it works again.
Welcome back to Home Sweet Home after this long journey😴 alittle nervous but anxious to see your home! You can sleep in your own bed finally. I love to travel but love to come back to MY bed.
Have a safe journey, Johnny! Thank you for supporting Ukraine💙💛
You are the hero Johnny knowing what you can meet in Ukraine and of course because of your help to those who in need.
Dear Johnny, I started to weep when you left the train station and were finally walking in Kyiv again. I know you have longed to be back home. I wish you safety and love.
Thank you so much for sharing this train trip. I was planning a trip to Kiev in December Hopefully
Bald and bankrupt looks different. And how did he acuire a wheelchair and foreign accent?
@@garrysekelli6776 oh my goodness 😂🤣 that’s not bald and bankrupt 😂
@@garrysekelli6776 😝
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel. The train's sleeping car got me wondering about all the different people's lives .
Anyone care to make a bet on how long he lasts in Ukraine?
Great video as always johnny! Im so excited to watch your vids, always calms me and alex and his girl seem like such nice people!
Planning to go to kyiv using this train. Thank you for the share! 🙇🏻♂️
Johnny be safe my friend enjoy your self l hope everything is ok car apartment good luck for your citizenship they couldn't have such a loyal person and Supportive person helping them out be safe always Freddie 😄👍😎💪🇺🇦
You can also buy Kvint in Auchan in Krakow :) Greetings from Krakow.
The trains paintjob
The “soviet” old stuff
mural/fish/music
This train ride was definitely an interesting journey
Good to see you back, mate. Looking forward to an end to this invasion because you and Bald need to go try for that Space Church again in the spring
Yeah, I want to see that too!
12:00 if you wanted Cognac Johnny you should have made a trip to Odesa and went to Shustoff! You missed out. You can probably just buy it in Kyiv but the museum and distillery tour is very nice ! But glad you found what you wanted
Na, he mixes it with Coke.
I prefer my cognac straight in a snifter. Warm it with my hand, and just sip it.
To each his own.
Neither are Cognac. Anything from outside the region surrounding the town of Cognac in France is just brandy.
In the same way that Champagne can only be called Champagne if it's from a specific region in France.
@@WiggyWigmoreUK That's why I buy California sparkling wine, and brandy. It tastes better, and costs less. Why pay for a name?
Hennessey is the goat
Дякую Вам. Ми дуже цінуємо вашу підтримку. 🇺🇦
God protect you and keep you safe on your chosen journey. Hope you brought a flashlight and candles like that lady advised. Wait you bought cognac and coke.🤔Best wishes.🙏.
Mr. Johnny from the state is back on his blogging!! From Northern California ♥️
Glad you’re on your way back…this has been a great series! If I can offer a suggestion…you must be hitting the microphone on your phone/camera..and it detracts a bit from the content. Looking forward to your return to Ukraine
3:55 - 1877 does not count as "Soviet stuff".
Welcome back in Kyiv, 2 weeks ago it was still no snow, hope you will have better electricity at your location, was 2 weeks ago just few hours a day...
Well, yes, when the energy structure is being destroyed, there should be no electricity at all, but here it is, and now blackouts take a maximum of 4 hours a day. Where else would it be lol, in any other country they would refuse to repair burning transformers under the threat of shelling, and the electricity would have disappeared long ago, but not here.
@@hibahprice6887 Black outs of much longer then 4 hours a day... I also think most electric comes now from generators.
@@aViewFromDownAndAbove I live in this country, if today or yesterday the power was turned off for more than 4 hours, I would notice it, or read it in a telegram
Congratulations for getting back Johnny!
Hopefully things go well!
But glad to see you’re home!
Dave
What a journey you had home. Such nice people you traveled with. He definitely was Bald’s twin. He is so much better than me. He handled those curbs so well. I would of fallen out of my wheelchair trying to get up those curbs. Be safe. Take care. 🤗🤗🤗
Remember you might only have few hours of power in Kyiv.. everybody is without heat, people are using generators to charge stuff...
Hi there Johnny!! I’ve been really enjoying binge watching your videos the past few day’s. What camera are you using? Why do you like living in the Ukrainian so much? Please be safe out there. I’m originally from Scotland, but have lived here in California (LA) for most of my adult life. ❤
Stay safe Johnny!
More videos please!
Kind of wish u didn’t point out the oil tankers 😡😡😢😡😢 for the monster to bomb.
Johnny next time try to find out the name and remember the name of “the woman “ so you don’t have to tell her to open the door and refer to her as “the woman “ .
And sweet Alex was ready for a hug 🥹dude ! Oh Johnny what are we gonna do with you 🤦♀️😉
Holy crap I’m in a wheelchair and I’m not sure I’d try that ramp on the stairs lol, going down would be fun.
Дякую за відео та вашу працю! Слава Україні!
I hope you are prepared to be self-sufficient in a city. Stay strong .
Journey proud of you you have balls you are a true patriot of Ukraine of Ukraine
I will miss the void of Soviet adventure of balds content through yours, have a safe journey.
God bless you Johnny keep safe bro greets from Rep Ireland.
Please don't put that crap Cola into such nice Cognac! Drink it on ice with sparkling water, but best just straight.
Welcome HOME Johnny!
This gave me flashbacks from an overnight trip I took from Moscow to St. Petersburg bak in 2013 or so - this train is a LOT nicer than that one was! Thanks for sharing the trip!
24:14 Come onnnnnn Johnny, no "thank you" for this nice lil lady?!
22:01 "The very definition of tired..."
congrats on your trip and that your safe and home
Nice to see you going, "home". Be safe and well. Slava Ukraini
Agree
Safe travels. Sleeper trains like that worry me because I snore and talk in my sleep. I'd get kicked off!
There's a lot worse things in life and regardless, no one gets kicked off a train for just that...
If you are sleeping, talking all sorts of shit about Ukraine in full sentences, followed by some sleep walking that brings out 20+ years of latent MMA combat abilities for anyone "getting in the way." Sure, then perhaps invest in some pre-travel cat naps just prior to getting on and a grab a redbull or two. I'm sure "where there's a will there's a way; ASK JOHNNY FD :)
That train to Kyiv is replacing the Chisinau-Moscow/St.Petersburg Train
Is Chisinau to Odesa line still open?
2:50 Awesome ambience!
Safe travels Johnny! Enjoy your home!
what currency do they use in ukraine during the war.
and do the accept euros ?
Stay safe Jonny!
Is this train still running?
This man is legend! Wheelchair up curb! Wtf?
Glad you can make it to your home, stay safe there
Agreed Freddie what a beautiful old shitty rail station absolutely love the rolling canvas ! Be safe !!✌️🤘 love to see this place someday 🇺🇦✌️
I love these strange and unpopular places. You take your time figuring shit out. It's a blast, especially if you ony know english!!!
Russia has been targeting some rail facilities. Just wanted to mention that.
Johnny and Bald on another adventure
welcome back sir.
I couldn't wait for new Ukraine videos from you! :) Stay safe!
Same. Not so keen on the others.
Thanks for the vídeo @johnny stay safe buddy
Can someone please tell me is there any train or bus from Chisinau to Kirovograd Ukraine ?
Great video.
You’ll be fine buddy!
Braveheart Jonhyyyy Jen
Stay safe bud!!
I felt very sorry for the lovely lady as no one was interacting with her. I gather Alex is her partner.
Welcome Home!
I totally understand your reasons to return...
I'm here also )
Look forward to your next vlog
🙏🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇸🙏
Welcome home¡
Take care!
Let us know how people are doing in Kyiv please
Safe Travels 🙏
God may protect you Johnny. Is it possible to cross the Chisinau to Kyiv border as an european?
Course you can
@@kendodd6550 I heard it's not possible without Visa, that's why I ask
Your grip makes too much noise. Change it.
Can you please send me the link or the site where to book train tickets to travel Moldova to Kiev by train please
You can book it on the Ukrainian Railways website, but you may need to use a VPN to access it. More details can be found on the seat61 website
Folklore and Rock 'n' Roll!
Are you ever going to go to Kharkiv and check in on your apartment?
ruzzians bombing Kharkiv heave everyday, it is not safe
Unless they painted multiple trains with the “victory” mural (which is definitely a possibility), I saw in a recent video the other day a train just like that richly decorated one you saw in the station at Chișinău pulling into a newly liberated Kherson, officially inaugurating the restored Kyiv-Kherson train route.
I'm sure it's the same one that went to Kherson the other day. It's their victory train that rides into all newly liberated routes.
That ramp is not for the disabled people but for the baby carriage stroller.
Great, congrats Johny!
but you better don't leave your mac like this 24:32
We're on a train...who's going to take it? 😂
@@JohnnyFD u know, tough times now, not everyone are kind people
Stay safe Johnny
that will improve relation between maldos and ukes in
a long time
Have safe Winter in Ukraine mate🤪🤪🤪
It's like don't miss the train. We have a little store like that here, down at a major intersection. Where was your backpack? It's cold here too, 27 degrees F.
You must be so glad to be home.Stay safe and take care
ly put a few soviet mosaics in Chisinau onto Google Maps which is cool :)
You're not really going to ruin the best cognac on the planet with Coca-Cola are you?
I know, when I heard that 🤦♀One is supposed to drink cognac and/or a good brandy neat from a snifter.
'More old soviet stuff'
'1877'
....
Dude come on haha
So you can fly to Moldova and then take the train to Kiev. That is most likely the easiest route to Kiev now
Stay safe
Glad to see you back in Kyïv!
Have a safe journey back to Kiev Johnny looking forward to watching your next post when you get back home 👍
It's Kyiv 😉
