Russian Missile Strikes in Odesa 🇺🇦
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- There has been multiple missile strikes and air raids during our week in Odesa. On this day walking around the city center, we passed upon a Cathedral that was partially destroyed by a Russian missile. Later that day while watching the ballet at the Opera house another air alert forces us to vacate. Here's footage from that day.

Can we all agree that putin is a khuylo! That cathedral is absolutely stunning, the theater is beyond gorgeous. I'm glad you were able to get to see the ballet performance.
Sláva Ukrayíni 🇺🇦
Im Ukrainian living in US now for many years. I just want to say thank you Johnny for your work and showing our beautiful country
I am not a religious person, but attacking anyone's religious meeting place is just disgusting. As well as non-military targets - schools, markets, malls, critical infrastructure.
Thx for sharing this, Johnny. ❤
Russian Nazis are also bombing railway stations.
Russia is just a criminal state. They cannot sink any lower in my estimation. No evil they perpetrate can surprise me. Of course they are lying g*ts who blame Ukraine for all the destruction of their own country. How utterly stupid can they get. Deliberate lies and they know it but stupid fools believe it.
@@natalyazhishkene568 What are you talking about? Russia has fired thousand of missiles into Ukraine since Feb. 2022, striking hundreds of apartment buildings, shopping centers, churches, theaters, hospitals, power stations, etc. It has killed tens of thousands of Ukraine civilians, its soldiers have committed hundreds of rapes and close-range executions. If it was a Ukrainian missile that hit that market, it was only because Ukraine was trying to shoot down an incoming Russian missile - Russia is still to blame for the missile strike. Ukraine does not fire missiles into Russia and deliberately kill Russian civilians.
@@Igor-vq6hz Russia invaded Donbas in 2014, put its separatist terrorist puppets into power, and started an armed conflict. For 8 years Russian forces and the separatists shelled free Ukrainian territory, and Ukrainian forces fought back. Ukraine has the right to try to retake illegally occupied Ukrainian territory. There were fatalities in that conflict, military and civilian, on both sides, with 80% of the fatalities being military.
@@aviadilo Nyegosh, unlike you I know the history of that region and Ukraine/Russia in common, i am a local to these places unlike you. Next time pls reconsider if it's reasonable to teach someone of history you learned from mass media people who are locals.
For 8 years Ukraine was shelling civialians of that regions how are ethnically russians, speaking russian and who has nothing in common with ukraine. These regions were illegally attached to artificially created ukraine republic in the first place by Lenin and communists. Who overtook power illegally by the way.
Try to visit any of these regions and call these people ukrainiains - they will kick your ass for that.
It is so sad to see this damage. I was fortunate to visit this site back in 2013.
Props for the video brother. Showing people & culture can prosper during a time of war. "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him" and this is what they're fighting for.
Thank you for bringing attention to the russian atrocities in Ukraine! This needs to be shown to more people in the western world, especially those who are listening to Russel Brand and the like who are saying that supporting Ukraine is pointless
"if you are going to film, then you better buy something". That's a very welcoming, makes me really want to go visit.
no English!
No Ukrainian either. They only speak Russian.
@@jilbertb let's go for a date))
Reminds me of how the Eastern European stores where I used to live would treat customers.
You're right. Consider the situation, though.
Anyways, very few places like this left there, and they're getting fewer. Soon the remaining few will become places of tourist attraction, and you'll be charged 5-fold for an opportunity to witness real Soviet-style public service antics.
I'm continually amazed, Johnny, by the strength and resolve of the Ukrainian people! I can't wait to go there and help them!
That girl that you asked if this is your first time here IS my blood cousin Marisha
Say hello to Marisha for me. =)
It was so wonderful to see inside this magnificent theatre and the ballet was so beautiful. So shocking to be living with air raids, not knowing if you'll be safe. A big fan of Qld ballet in Australia.
That opera house is absolutely beautiful inside. I have only seen it from the outside. Hopeful I can take my wife there to an event in the future after the war. Maybe even move to Odesa and live in Arcadia.
👏👍💙💛
All good ideas, expect the living in Arcadia part. =)
I’ve been 2 or 3 times for shows, pre-war. Operas though, not ballet. It’s really lovely.
Johnny I’m glad you waited and went back into the opera house. It was worth it
you became a courageous man, such an evolution.
I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU TELL THE WORLD EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON IN UKRAINE. THE WORLD NEED TO SEE THE HORRIBLE DEEDS OF RUBBISH RUSSIA FROM A TRUST WORTHY SOURCE AND PLATFORM. THANK YOU JOHNNY, JUST STAY SAFE PLEASE, LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
Where would you ever watch a ballet if not in a war-stricken Ukraine when Odessa is being struck daily? 😅
I actually enjoyed the ballet! Lucky that the air siren was BEFORE the show and not in the middle
Johnny: "This building is tacky." Also, Johnny: "Film me while I pee in the street.'"
the reason the washing powder is in the shop is because its a "corner shop". Maybe america doesn't have these but in Europe we have little shops we just pop into that have essentials so we don't have to go to the bigger supermarkets, which tend to be further away and take much longer to get that 1 or 2 items you need. Does america have these "corner shops?" Or do you just have the bigger ones?
Yes. 7-11 (it's name), KwikTrip (gas station) and most drug stores are "corner markets". I can buy most everything at a hardware store too, some sell limited food (Menards) others don't.
@@jilbertbthank you. I was confused as johnny didn't seem to understand the logic of having essentials in the little shop so thought maybe you don't have them in the USA. In the UK, ours are tiny little ones, like the one in the video and then we have express supermarkets which are a miniature of our bigger supermarkets and then petrol (gas) Station tend to have a few essentials in. We have a fair few tiny corner shops as our big supermarkets tend to be spread out in bigger towns or city areas so the little villages have them.
common at swap meets in the USA
@@jilbertb Still, most of these smaller stores are only reachable by car. They usually have parking lots in front of them. In most of the US, you don't have corner stores and street booths like in Europe. Here in Warsaw where I live, there are dozens of little shops, cafes, restaurants within a short walking distance of my home. (I lived over 20 years in the US in various parts of the country.)
@@aviadilo Most of the small variety shops in my part of the US have been replaced by Dollar General, other dollar stores, & specialty shops like a hardware store, a pet store, a pharmacy, little cafes or Mexican, Chinese etc restaurants. Aldi is a short drive, another half mile gets me to two very large grocery stores with other departments such as clothing, shoes, furniture, pharmacy etc. There is a small chain here of dairy stores which also sell gas and some household goods in addition to milk eggs ice cream bread coffee, cereal donuts etc. I would never purchase laundry detergent at a small neighbourhood shop, because it would always cost 2 to 8 times more than it would at Dollar General or one of the larger stores! I stock up whenever I see a sale, & often I can get two jugs for the price of one, several times a year.
Most of the small mom and pop shops were run out of business 20 to 30 years ago by Walmart.
This was a wonderful video! Except the part where you had to pee. That was tacky
Realism lol! The barbarians attacked the city leaving a damaged water supply. They cannot achieve a military win so they just attack civilians. Cowardly criminal country that deserves every bit of bad luck that comes to it going forward. I hope the state descends into chaos and misery after this war finally ends with Ukraine victorious.
Yes Johnny, find a toilet, not cool at all
Most European capitals smell of urine. As a Ukrainian, I'm terrified by the prospect of foreigners doing the same in Ukraine. Not cool at all
Slava Ukraine
Beautiful Architecture, Ukraine is so lovely!
Its encouraging to see that the church is already back in use and being lovingly restored. God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
My typical day:
1. Go to market, pick many food - air alert, forced to leave.
2. Start cooking, frying meat - air alert.
3. Going to walk - air alert.
4. Going to sleep - air alert.
5. Opening news - air alert😁
6. enumeration never stops... 😆
Dont be upset Johny, just accept that rustards are not humans of 21th century)
what a beautiful theatre one place i'd love to visit glad you finally got to see the performance
Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at Camp Granada… 🎶 take me home oh mudda fadda…. I knew I recognized that tune.
My Grandfather was born in Odessa around 1902
That embroidered curtain has to weigh a fuckton!
Great video, Johnny. Glad you got to see the ballet! Through your videos, you're giving us a good view of Ukraine during the war. Also, all your help for Ukraine is admirable. Re the bulk coffee and cleaning supplies sold from booths in the center of Odesa, I imagine it's convenient for people living in that area to be able to buy stuff like that from those booths. Why drive to a Walmart-type superstore, filled with hundreds of people, and wait in long lines, especially if you just need a few things? In any case, most of the shoppers buying from those booths probably don't own cars.
Maybe it’s just me... but the people don’t appear as friendly as other places you have filmed....
I would stick to Kyiv and Kharkiv etc...
In those in the country side are always welcoming.
It appeared more Soviet business oriented.
Or maybe I am being too judgemental.
It’s correct.
Common Odessite's mindset: Odessa ain't any capital, but no capital is anything like Odessa.
When I told a lady selling a flat just opposite the tacky mall that her price is like 30% higher than for a similar one in Barcelona, she looked at me as if I were some Billy from the hills and told me that "Odessa ain't your Barcelona!" )))
All this said, just wait till the war ends. These people are extremely funny, warm and good-willing when their balls are taken away from the wall. Living in a neighbour-city I know them Odessa folks quite well )))
@@giorgosexanthian7335 I’m sorry this was not an attack on the people from Odessa, but merely an observation.
We have similar cities in our country that are all about business.
So they become tunnel visioned.
Whereas other parts people really make you feel noticed, and that’s the places I prefer.
Odessa is being attacked the same as any other Ukraine City or Town.
May this madness all come to its rightful conclusion.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Odesa is on my "bucket list," of glorious places to see; thanks for sharing. What ballet company are we seeing?
I was in odessa 2014 , very good beach and buildings, also a lot of old not restored rubbish.
restored rubbish?
Slava Ukraini from a Canadian and I know it's not a war stream
What a beautiful city. Damn the Russian barbarians. Got to admire the Ukrainian spirit.
The Russians built Odessa. Likely a stray Ukrainian anti air missile hit the church.
@@mitchyoung93 Not true. Trajectory of missiles is known, and ruSSia sent that.
Thank you for the video. It is really annoying that Russia ruins all normal life activities like cultural events.
Johnny, how could you combine ballet and peeing in a corner in same video 😂
He covers all corners of culture.
It's my skill, ;)
Hi again Johnny I haven’t seen one of your videos for a long time! Thanks for the tour of of Ukraine I really enjoyed it always watching you from Orlando Florida 😊
Johnnys acting during the air raid is kinda weird
So this is where all the russian-speaking Brooklynese come from.
Hi Johnny, I enjoy your videos! Thank you for braving the war to show us what its like there now. My ancestor family comes from Bassarabia area and I haven't found much info on the region. Do you plan to go further into this area of Ukraine? Thanks again so much for your content. Take care my friend!
I haven't been to Chernivtsi, but i've been to Moldova and have made videos about it on my channel.
It hurts to see beautiful history destroyed.
Likely a Ukrop anti air missile...why would Russians destroy their own church?
OMG Johnny!! How impressive was the opera building, the church and the ballet!
Thank you for your wonderful videos, you always deliver .
Now I want to go to Ukraine and visit once the war is over ! It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people ….🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
All built by Russia.
Love your video's, you should visit Mykolaiv, if you have the time, I'll buy you a coffee:)
Very interesting stories here, how they stopped the orc invasion of the city..and kept Odessa safe..
I'd buy Johnny a coffee too if he went here.
Spring or summer might be a good idea.
That's 'cause I think the best about Myko is its trees. A guy from Spain amazed with the city view from the top of hi-storey building once said that Mykolaiv was a city in a forest. )))
@@giorgosexanthian7335
Haha i like the people here even more then the trees :) but the nature is for sure awesome here! Almost time to collect walnuts while walking with the kids :) I'm Dutch myself and a sucker for free food :)
Wow Johnny , great video. Really enjoyed the ballet and was so happy to see so many there to enjoy the Arts, Thank you so much for taking us around Odesa and sharing some of their culture and beautiful architecture .❤ Stay safe Johnny. BRAVO
Glad you enjoyed it
I ate Plov in Kirgizistan and became ill for two weeks. Never Plov again. Thanks for you nice reports in Odessa! Like I was there again!
You cannot plov just one time. You must plov over and over. Plov is love. Plov is life. I say this unironically--it's a taste I can recall for decades.
Bro, u need to try it at another place! Plov is really good thing❤
I don't contest it but I assume something was wrong with hygiene. Anyway it was a big inection and thus I became more coutious about strange foods...
Beautiful buildings, really sumptuous. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, apart from the part with you relieving yourself.
Some things should be edited out, why would you imagine people want to watch you urinate?
That is sad. Never ending madness.
That is russia for you. I am adopting the new Ukrainian habit of not giving the respect of a capital letter for anything russian or any orc including the chief one, old putler.
Car camping in the Ferry bank Campsite by the sea at Wexford town Ireland... watching ballet from Odessa 😂 there's mad wind and rain weather rocking the car.. far too wild for any cooking outside but, the dog's fed and me with the big flask of coffee and making cheese sandwiches in the car - and watching ballet from Odessa 🥰🤗- cool! Slave Ukraine! And thanks Odessa ballet company.. and Johnny..
Nice scene to be watching it from. =)
In historical fairness, Odessa was established as a city in the Russian Empire by Catherine The Great in 1794. It was not under Soviet occupation as the USSR was naturally the successor to the Russian Empire. One of the most Russian speaking cities in the region. This being said, the destruction and military attacks are always unwelcome and to be condemned.
Facts:
- Odessa used to be a big Greek trading city 2K years before Muscovy even decided to call itself "Russia".
- The city was transformed from a sleepy sea village by Voivode of Kiev (1791), Antoni Protazy Potocki and Ukrainian workers' labour and skills.
- The USSR officially denied it's succession to Russian Empire.
- By every international law and agreement, including those signed by Russia, Odessa is Ukraine.
This being said, the "everything has many sides to it" and "the truth is in the middle" narrative smells Kremlin big time.
@@giorgosexanthian7335 Thanks for adding more context.
I see anything different from the mainstream narrative smells like the Kremlin. "The truth is in the middle" is the most rational approach to many things in life. Skeptics are the least susceptible to malicious brainwashing.

well it's 21th century, people who think that "need use old approach" are stupid I guess) When some tradition started it's existance, people used current modern technologies, but not that was used centuries before, so...
Ukraine is beautiful place. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

Why did you leave SF, @Johnny_FD? At that time it was not as big of the mess as it is now. Just curious. Glad you had a trip to Odesa, the stomping ground of my youth.
SF is dead
Maybe I saw it coming? But either way, I wrote about it on my blog in detail: www.johnnyfd.com/2014/03/how-ive-been-able-to-afford-my-life-of.html
There are little words that could help understand the why this is still happening. How this is acceptable in a our society
Oh Man i love ploff, haven't get it recently but still good taste in my mouth
Lets all hope for some swan lake ballet in russia soon ...
Playing on repeat on all channels, like during the collapse of the USSR.
The ballet performance was awesome.
Great video and Beautiful opera house, during WW2 in Hungary both my paternal grandparents were famous opera singers and performed in all those big opera houses throughout Europe during the war, they were also spies for the USA and helped pass bills that allow people who helped USA during wartime receive citizenship in USA.
Wow that's amazing! What nationality were your grandparents?
Great city. Its ashame on whats going on by disgusting Russians.
Great

Ps 5 are selling there? Nice❤
I would love to go and watch a ballet performance in that exquisite opera house one day. ❤🇺🇦🙏
Bravo to all the ballet dancers ❤who are brave enough to perform under the threat of having their beautiful theater including their lives been taking away by a horde of animals. Glory to Ukraine💙💛💪🤛
Do they have weed? Green cross usually means that 5:45
Thanks
it a bloody market Johnny, stop asking "why this and why that?"...there is nothing " strange' about selling ANYTHING on the market...hahah
how come when a Ukranian missile goes up into the air i aimed at an aircraft it is OK--but when it comes down on a residential building and does damage it is always RUSSIAN.
You mean the air defense systems meant to shoot down Russian bombers?
"Burnt alive in Odessa" ?
Those were the best "nosebleed" seat I ever saw!👍
Yes agreed, but to be fair, I was supposed to be one row behind them. The couple was just nice enough to offer me to move up to the empty one.
Please learn geo politics,everything repeated 😢
Great vid - love t he Opera House so beautiful and the ballet was so well lit, staged and their dancers looked ethereal 😍 thanks for showing us the Odessa that we hear about - and 🖕 Russia
Not rusland but Ukrainian do dis 😊
Could you specify which part of russia was occupied by Ukraine ? And where mass graves of russians are located ?
Defiantly Ukraine, New York sux, only been there once and once was more than enough! If I had only 2 choices between Bakmut now and NewYork I would take Bakmut in a heartbeat!
🥲☦🙏🕊
Jhonny you should go in the ukranian army to free the whole of ukraine. I cannot do it because i am too old,already 66, but in your situation you should really do this.
That's the main problem: People who want war but do not want to fight on their own, but others should fight for them. Without Americans = no war in Europe!
The solider I handed the vehicle to was 70. It’s easy to tell other what they should do. What have you done to help Ukraine?
then shup up old fart and go get your medicine
66 is not old or retirement. Get your lazy ass to the front. He does plenty for Ukraine!
You think one man can make such a vast difference? A man with no military experience? The AFU is doing fine and Johnny raises money for much aid. He drove a NAFO truck he fund raised for from the border to Kyiv. That's awesome.
All those dead nuns
yea u should been there instead

We thoroughly appreciate your effort, dedication and contribution you have done to re-develop Tourism industry in Sri Lanka. Also Feel very sorry about those casualties and victims. But need to remind you that " What goes around comes around "
During Sri Lankan civil war, Ukraine was accusing Sri Lanka as War criminals eventhough Sri Lankan brave forces were fighting against the most powerful terrorist goup in the world ( LTTE ) according to FBI. But What even after the war what Ukraine did was very bad accusing Sri did war crimes which was completely bullshit. On 16th of May 2009, LTTE terrorists were hostaging more than 100k innocent tamil civilians as their war dome. Sri Lankan war heroes rescued off of them but on 19th May, sent all terrorist leaders to the heaven...🇱🇰💪😎👍
Until 2013, Ukraine was under the strong influence of Russia. In particular, political, economic, cultural. Just so you understand, Russia somehow shot down a passenger plane, Ukraine took the blame. Therefore, I suggest following Ukraine after 2013.
@@uaroot USA killed Saddam Husain for no reason. Did they find mass destruction bio weapons in Iraq..?
Ukraine has influence of Russia because they are neighbours and USA was trying trying to keep Ukraine as their billyboy by posing nuclear threatene to Russia. That's the main reason for all. If cyprus takes the fullside of Russia or China then, Europe and greece will be angry. If Sri Lanka gets the full side of China, then India and USA gets angry. Simple as that.
bravo!

The church was hit by an errant Ukrainian air defense missile. It's well documented to all those who aren't Ukraine fanboys. The amount of damage done is nowhere near what a Russian missile would accomplish.
