Brandon is the real deal. Authentic, heart centered, and because of his accomplishments in Ukraine has saved many lives!
I wish I had 1 percent of this guys conviction and grit. I follow Brandon on RUclips and he is helping the guys on the front lines in so many ways.
THAT is a journalist. Inspiring. A journalists job is to listen, not opine. Clarify when necessary, Times Radio give this woman a raise! :)
She's the best!
Very well worded! I'm Italian and I wish we had journalists HALF as good as this lady here!
And yes, give this woman a raise AND her own radio program (if she doesn't have it already). 👍👍
I totally agree. Thank you for posting this.
Definitely! Kate is by far, the best of the Times Radio hosts. My only wish is that the Times Radio youtube channel would put Frontline in the title, or include Kate's photo in the thumbnail, or some sort of identifier, so it would be easier to find the video interviews she does. She really should be spotlighted more!
❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes the most prominent signs of humanity come from the weirdest of worlds.. Brandon, you are a fantastic example of society. I will always wish you the best, but I do hope we Canadians can find a way to get you an Order of Canada honour for the honour you do for us!
Yes, you deserve the Order of Honor.
what a wonderful idea, if you are a Canadian citizen, it must be a bureaucratic method to reach out officially to the competent authority and inform them on Brandon's work of duty and heroism..but i don't know why, i m thinking he actually..would be just soo embarrassed to think of such an honour..he's a pure guy.
Thank you very much for having me on the show again Kate!
Been following you since the beginning bro, fantastic work stay save bud
🇸🇪🇺🇦
Thank you Brandon, it was another interesting interview at Times Radio.
Good to see the Donbas wagon is still going strong, Brandon. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
You're a hero!
I don't always comment. I can't always donate. I'm raising 4 grandchildren but I still care about Ukraine very much. Thank you, Brandon, for what you do and for finding your best way through it all. Sending love from Oklahoma 💞.
You raise them grandchildren to understand why supporting Ukraine is important and you are doing good momma...
You're a good guy, Brandon, a credit to your family . Not many would put their life on hold to give so much ❤
2,000,000 russians ran away to Georgia and Turkey to avoid fighting the Ukrainians! They're the opposite of Brandon☺
wonderful man ! ❤
This guy isn't bragging or tough talking. He sounds like he's a great guy. May God protect him.
Brandon is great, such a humble person to listen to. The people risking their lives in this war are people just like anyone else, for all that does and doesn't mean - and Brandon is endearing in his own way in these interviews
A really good interview. I've been following Brandon for quite a while now and have the utmost respect for him and the work he does. He's a rare gem amongst a lot of coal. I know he will succeed in all his endeavours in Ukraine. ++
To see and hear such young men putting their lives on the line on daily basis, is humbling. Great job giving these young men a voice Kate.
This was an especially impressive interview. Mr. Mitchell's compassionate, selfless demeanor belies his amazing contribution to Ukraine's war effort.
Despite viewing a LOT of RUclips videos specific to the war in Ukraine since the its start, Brandon's channel has never been suggested. Now I know. Thanks for that!
A lot is not enough. He has been suggested by some but if you don't watch every video by those few, you won't find rare gems like Brandon.
@gregparrot I also saw Brandon on the channel of Artur Rehi. He's another great guy who does very much the same thing, and sometimes works together with Brandon. He's a former military guy from Estonia, the smallest of the countries right next to and most threatened by Russia. He also collects donations, buys stuff and takes it to Ukraine for the army. He has bought and taken at least 3 vehicles, night vision goggles, and a lot of other stuff. In the short time I've been watching him, about 6 months, he's been there twice.
Brandon was on his channel recently showing goggles they had both donated, night vision and thermal vision. They are hugely expensive at about $600 US I think, and if I'm correct they donated about 600 pairs. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.
At any rate, Artur has a great sense of humor too. Jake Broe is another great military blogger regarding Ukraine who has a sense of humor, and he does stuff with Artur and Brandon too. I really enjoy all 3, but especially Artur. Or as much as a person can enjoy videos about an unjust war and genocide committed by a homicidal maniac nutcase.
My apologies if you already knew these things. Just trying to be helpful. I realize there's a limit to how many channels a person can follow. All the best to you!
SLAVA UKRAINI ! ! ! 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
@@finn4800 Nobody can watch them all. Even if a person had unlimited time, it couldn't be done, and even if it could, nobody could take thinking constantly about this unjust war and genocide committed by a homicidal maniac nutcase. We'd get PTSD from it.
RUclips rots the brain anyway. Even if you only watch educational stuff, there's a limit to how much screen time is healthy, and that's about 2 hours a day at the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM. We are all already way over that. But seriously, any more than about 10 hours a week is seriously harmful. That's why the US is already a freaking disaster.
3 or 4 generations of people have grown up watching tv heavily, and we have a whole nation of freaking zombies who are unable to think, and too lazy to bother if they could, NEVERMIND the fact that the mere suggestion that they might actually walk 2 blocks to the store to get their junk food for tonight's 6 hours of Netflix would give them a heart attack! Just like tv, RUclips rots the brain. In some ways it's even FAR worse than tv.
Sorry, but it needed to be said. So I know that a massive number of Ukrainians never get a break from the awful 24/7 fear and loss, but they wouldn't want us to suffer like they are, or even a fraction of it. All they want from us is our help. No offense is meant to you, but our time is much better spent doing anything else in the world than on RUclips. Like firstly, emailing our elected representatives in our federal governments.
Most federal govts have a central phone number for information that will also connect us to any department. That 1 main number should be able to tell us the email addresses of our President or Prime Minister's office and all the Cabinet Ministers, and Elected Representatives. We should write 1 short letter that we can copy and paste, and send it to all of them. It only really needs to be 1 sentence, like "I want to help Ukraine 100%." That's all it needs. Then we send one to our Representative, 1 to the President or PM, and 1 to EACH Cabinet Minister. Done. It will make a huge difference. If a person has trouble typing or a disability, then we can just send it to the Minister Of Finance, our Elected Rep, and our PM or President.
It would be FAR better of course to include a sentence or 2 that makes sure they know we want them to send as much help as possible, money, weapons, training, personnel in any way needed, ATAKMs, HIMARs, Stormshadows, or whatever. AND ESPECIALLY F16 PLANES. So if we can, we should say that too, but the most important thing is that 1 sentence.
I want to help Ukraine 100%.

Wow, what a legend of a man! Also, what a masterclass of an interview technique, delicately steering the conversation to ensure cohesion, clarifying where needed yet, leaving the stage open for Brandon to tell HIS story. Well done Kate and Times team, I have really enjoyed this one.
Thank you Brandon for all you are doing in Ukraine. You are an amazing human being. Stay safe. Sam from UK.
Good to see our friend Brandon Mitchell making the Times Radio scene again with our favorite host Kate Gerbeau!!!
Great interview. A touching, moving and compassionate experience listening to Brandon. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Did you know he was in the British army and served in The North ?
@@John316OBrian-cm4fj Was that before or after russia lost Kharkiv and Kherson?🤭
He's got his own channel
. Brandon Mitchell
Thank you Kate for having another interview with Brandon. His work is incredibly important. I hope some Ukranian friends of mine serving near Bakhmut will overcome their shyness and reach out to him for whatever it is to make their task safer and easier. Slava Ukraïni! ❤️🇺🇦🔱✌️
Brandon earlier on was in and around Bakhmut evacuating soldiers and civilians. He has brought mostly medical supplies to the stabilization centers and taught field first aid.
Amazing guy this world needs a lot more like him 😊
If you are sending aid to Ukraine from UK or EU, please start including a few boxes of insole foot warmers.
A lot of people ended up losing toes and feet to frostbite in the trenches last winter.
I wonder if they could use the rechargeable insoles or socks❔

@@rhondabailey9238 They are expensive, unreliable under constant use and dangerous if you have soaking feet in day and freezing temperatures at night. They also don't fit inside of your boots.
By contrast the chemical ones are reliable, thin and deliver 8 hours of heat for $1 per pair or less in bulk.
Taking a soldier off the front line because of a lack of $1 per day heat to the feet is a bad plan but that is what we did last winter leaving people crippled for life because of the very predictable weather.
Ukraine is going to be fighting through another winter, we need to do better than last winter.
@@rhondabailey9238 They can be bulky or problematic, but some people would definately find them helpful. The thing is that once the battery dies, having the metal plate under your toes is WORSE than wearing normal socks. Imho, it's best to send money and let them decide.
Wow what a fascinating interview. Brandon just tells it the way it is, Hope and pray he stays safe and well and continues to reach out, inspire and help others
Great interview with the brave, intrepid, Brandon. Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🔱
Thankyou President Biden for supporting Ukrain. All those Civilians dying. And the brave men and woman of Ukrain. Thankyou. God Bless Ukrain ❤❤❤❤
And the hilarity of russia, putin's "Kyiv in three days!" just has the world chuckling☺
@@dpelpal Never saw anything so funny in my life as that 40 miles of stuck trucks, fuel tanks empty, and abandoned by starved soldiers who didn't know where on earth they were, or why they were there! ROTFLMFAO ! ! !
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Great to see media interview "of the people" guys like Brandon.
All levels need to be heard, not just the top folk. :) Good work Times Radio
Brandon #1 Getting the job done! Stay safe brother!!
Brilliant interview Kate and Brandon!! Love the work done by Brandon!!!💙💛🇺🇦🇿🇦
Thank you so much @kate for interviewing@brandon again! He is a legend and an incredible human being!
I am glad to hear from Brandon and wishing him the best of luck and safety! He saves lives (and have been doing so since the very beginning of the -last- terrorist Russian invasion).

God speed, Brandon!

@@ZVpobeda How's that Black Sea Naval Command meeting going, eh? I heard the outcome was smashing! Explosive even!
@@dpelpal They will be either Russian, or in dilapidated ruins. You get my meaning... (Crimea under some years of Russian development is way better than most of Ukraine.)
This guy knows his stuff
How can you possibly publish this without a link to his fundraiser? I have relatives in the Ukrainian military, merino wool socks and merino wool thermal underwear are very, very appreciated. Also good quality low temperature sleeping bags were a really big hit. My brother in law had an issued bag that had gotten moldy in the past and was quite surprised and very happy to receive a copy of the US military arctic bag last year. He didn't ask, I just thought about what a soldier would appreciate in the field, and it was delivered just in time for the cold weather. Now is the time to get winter gear and send it, it will be very much appreciated.
May God bless you and keep you safe Brandon. I remember seeing a previous video with you in the Donbas region that was a really raw heart and gut wrenching video. ✝️
What a lad.. tough cookie
I've watched if not all your front line stories, then most of them and
this was randomly brilliant, in life there are men and women that just do whatever the circumstances and for me your video interview was simply
Good , thank you 😊
Fantastic interview by Kate and Brandon all I can say is wow and thank you for helping Ukraine
Slava ukraini🔱💪🇺🇦
Thank you for your service and amazing bravery.❤ Please stay safe.
Great interview Kate. We need to hear more from those doing what needs to be done.
Thank. You very much! Hope it’s not too late over there ❤
Conscripted....
@@ukraine_tbic Never too late to watch Kate interview you. 😉
@@maxthemagition What?
NATO has to step up NOW TODAY on winter supplies, Portable spas, winter thermals, boots, socks, KEVLAR BULLET PROOF clothing for snipers, camping supplies, stoves, with fuel canisters, gloves, ETC ETC Tents, ETC ETC. Ukraine has to be preped for the brutal harsh winter,,, UK volunteers are so so super critical. Ukraine is out numbered 3 to 1. God bless Ukraine, God bless the UK for its support.
Great interview, a truly impressive young man.
🌻 Brandon is a gem!! 💝
Thanks for having Brandon on again! Great interview. Legitimate grassroots fundraising by individuals like Brandon is absolutely critical and very important... One person with enough exposure and support can help provide essential combat multipliers to dozens/hundreds/thousands of individual frontline soldiers. Some of the largest organizations with the largest budgets quite often seem to do the least of all! Especially when it comes down to providing specific supplies to specific units, instead of sending 1,000 pairs of gloves to a unit that doesn't even need gloves, but that same money could've bought more drones, nightvision or thermal capabilities or even just basic supplies that are ACTUALLY in dire demand... I recommend donating to Brandon and other small organizations or individuals doing similar work, as you see where you money goes, plus the same donation will go much much farther than the mega corporations of fundraising! (Looking at you Red Cross... Along with several other very large so called established humanitarian aid groups 🤨) 🇺🇦👍
Great person
++ Another great interview with Brandon. Thanks for this.
Stay safe, Brandon. 🇸🇪🫶🏼🇺🇦
Kate is so eloquent and lovely
A real Kate fan. Another great interview, listening to what he says and asking probing questions ... yep, a good job. I really appreciate these interviews. I wish Brandon good luck in his work and hoping he stays safe too.
God bless this brave man. ❤
Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Thank you. Too kind!!
Yes they ll soon be seeing god in Ukraine . Millions of them 😂😂😂😂

Excellent interview. Thanks for continuing to keep Ukraine in the news.
An excellent and informative interview. Thank you Brandon and Kate. Well done..!! 👍
So proud of this Brave Young Man. 💪💪💪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

kate is the best interviewer of Times Radio and Brendon actually works in Ukraine and knows what is happening there. Great to see them brought together.
You deserve a medal Brandon. What you do deserves the highest praise considering you don't really have a dog in the fight. Keep your head down and keep safe mate people like you are hard to come by.

An other good one Brandon! Slava Ukraini!
Love it. A very professional 1 to one. Great viewing. Honest and optimistic. Love to both of you. Nice to see a communique rather than a interrogation.
Thank you for a great interview. We must support human rights and Ukraine
Impressive/humbling work a guy like Brandon is making. Also happy to hear us swedes volountary work are helping out on the huminatarian side apart from our weapon support. Makes me proud.
Inspiring. Godspeed.
Love Brandon's interviews all the time. Great guy and great interview thank you for having him. Made in Canada❤
Ben does wonderful work.
Thank You Brandon for All Your Efforts .. Much Appreciated.. 🙏💙💛🔱🔥🍁
Brandon posts his donation links on his RUclips videos. There are several ways to donate, and Brandon is accountable with his expenses.

excellent interview god bless Ukraine.
He’s a fantastic guy, I love listening to him, if you can and want to give to Ukraine I believe you could not go wrong in giving to him as he gives it to those in great head ❤
Thanks to people like you who fill 1 extra position, and another. I wish you God's protection. There are very good soldiers in Ukraine. I think there are a lot of 'nerds' world wide and I wish one of them can figure something out to find mines with humans far away..
Now that was a GOOD INTERVIEW👍👍👍 , so glad to see the good work being done by such volunteers in Ukraine to help throw Putin's puppets out of that country! Bloody good work BRANDON MITCHELL and thanks to Times Radio as well 👍
Great interview and great work Brandon 👏👏👏🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦
Good luck Brandon & Ukraine.
Brandon is an awesome guy. Have followed his RUclips for a long time. He has done a lot to help Ukraine. Over last winter he got a lot of generators out to those fighting for heating and powering devices. Seems the government is only supplying the big items and soldiers relay on donations and people like Brandon for the smaller items. Suggest people follow him and donate if you can.
Kate and Brandon you both give humanity a feeling of hope and an aim to overcomee EVIL.
Brilliant work Brandon. I am always concerned that the media questions and your answers provide intel for the Russians and make you more of a target. take good care young man.
I agree this journalist is a really good listener and interviewer.
Good job again to Brandon listened to him on Dodges podcast
Thanks for such an honest interview , again ✌️🇺🇦🇬🇧✌️
i enjoyed listening to a fellow canadian's perspective on what's going on there. thanks, kate.
Take care Brandon, and Slava Ukraini!💙💛
Brandon, are those all NAR CAT tourniquets? I have already seen video of one guy snapping one. They did not say. but I suspect the device used was a knock off. If it's not a NAR, CAT it's suspect. Rock on young man.
Brandon is very much aware of the issue with fake tourniquets, as are his colleagues.
Apart from CAT tourniquets, a few other reliable brands are in use, among which Dnipro and SICH, two Ukrainian brands.
Sadly, yes, a lot of fakes are sent to Ukraine, which are essentially nothing more than children's toys. Those will not be issued to soldiers if they pass Brandon's hands.
Well done, Brandon 👍👍
Fascinating insight! Well done Brandon!

You were good on the interview with the Radio times Brandon, lovely brown eyes . You're still doing a great job ❤❤.
Brandon is real awesome for what he is doing and it's not for the organized crime what he says he is going to do he does. You invest well for the right reasons. God bless you brother
Absolutely shameful we've given so few humvees and other aid that the Ukrainians are making tradeoffs between conserving the vehicles and their lives.
Absolutely heartbreaking
So true. Give Ukraine what they need and expel these Russian war criminals. Slava Ukraine.
Embarrassing that the western governments do not flood Ukraine with all that it needs.
They could easily do this.
Brandon and many others should not need to raise funds for their work.
Slava Ukraini!
Not easily, but yeah
Ukraine has received it's more than it's entire 2021 GDP in aid. And Western countries has had indirect costs as well such as increase in energy prices, food prices. Attitudes like yours do not help the situation. It would have been much easier to sit back and do nothing. So be grateful.
@@Joe-og6br It would also have been disadvantageous for us to do nothing. The indirect costs did not affect us nearly as much as we thought they would, and even if they had, it wouldn't have been that bad.
@@Joe-og6br Don't play the victim when you're not
@@Joe-og6br I live in a western country and know all about the indirect costs. They are cheaper for us in the long run and worth it to stop Putins madness.
Doing nothing is not an option for Ukrainians while they lose their lives and country.
So be grateful that you do not face what they are facing.
Attitudes like yours do not help. You are clearly a fair-weather friend.
Good on you Brandon.

Brandon, take care man, the British volunteer who was just murdered by another volunteer in Zaporizhzhia possibly for money or equipment or who knows, just not attached to a group flying solo is a big risky, yes?
I was thinking the same thing. The other day I send to Brandon the story about Daniel Burke. Usually Brandon responds to my messages . I am worried about him , travelling alone with a lot of “good stuff”. I m supporting him and Hospitallers . ❤
This whole situation is shameful. That it's allowed to happen. People are losing their humanity.
