Thats why I never was scared in Kyiv despite the air raid alerts. Life is always a risk. In my last visit to LA I suddely found myself suddenly midst in a shooting.

    After Ukraine's victory, all these atrocities we learn about now, will be retained throughout history around the world. People will for sure want to come and visit such a resilient nation as Ukraine is. It will be quiet without the sirens, and people and nature will be able to show us around your beautiful country.
    Who says so?
    The passing of time.
    That is how it was for many of us after WW2. And I know that Ukraine deserves, more than any of our ally nations, to have what we all had in 1945, yet Ukraine had it so differently. This is why Boris John stated, "this time there will not be another Yalta". Everyone in the UK government understands this now.
    It's why we are staying with Ukraine now and beyond her victory.
    Lest we forget.

      Thank you for watching. As we wrote, this video was inspired by the question "How is life in Kyiv?" that we heard from our friends and colleagues abroad. So, we wanted to show what our life looks like now. Of course, this is only relevant to Kyiv and some other cities. The daily life of people living closer to the frontline is entirely different.

      We see a lot of frontline footage here which is why this video stands out but there should be a lot more videos like this and more attention to the Ukrainian people.
      I want to continue to see a peaceful and prosperous Ukraine, maybe get a chance to visit, spend a lot of money there and sit in one of the cafes and devour the cakes and cappuccinos and take in the beautiful atmosphere.
