Don´t do this in UKRAINE !

💬 Comments on the video

I am an Indonesian (Southeast Asian) who visited Ukraine for three weeks last August. I didn't experience any racist treatment from Ukrainians whether in urban Kyiv&Lviv or rural Zakarpattia Oblast'. In my feeling, it turns out that they found my existence (especially when I was in Zakarpattia) an interesting case. Even I often got locals greet me with 'Hi' or 'Good Morning/Evening' and sometimes we made small conversation due to their curiosity and of course their hospitality. The only racist attack I got was by two drunk Serbian tourists in Lviv.

I would love to go back to Ukraine :)

Ukrainian here. Totally correct, russian-speaking person NOT the same as russian, especially in Odessa, where most people speaking russian but mostly are actually Ukrainians or Jews, etc.

Been all over Ukraine. Born and raised in California as Italian, German, English descent, visiting Odessa, Kiev, Chernigov, Cherkassy, Nikolaev, Xerson, all were so beautiful and the people are so kind and hospitable. Ukraine and the Ukrainians are amazing! i greatly recommend vacationing there!!!

It's not a "conflict", it's a war. So you can add this to your "don't do" list... Don't call a real, hot war a "conflict".

Thing you shouldn't do in Ukraine:
"Crimea is Russian".

I can clearly understand how infuriating it can be to be called 'russian'. Here in Poland we sometimes are called, "from Poland? So you are just like Russians and you speak Russian right?" No that's totally wrong... I can see that we are not the only ones...
Greetings from Poland!

That's a bit weird that you advise to not refer to Ukrainians as Russians, but a minute later your friend recommends learning russian to be able to communicate there? Sure you could learn a couple of Ukrainian words instead to just be polite to the Ukrainians. Cheers

Wow, it's really interesting to watch this video, when you are Ukrainian. I would recommend to visit western regions. I'm from Kyiv, but this summer I was traveling to Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivzi ang ooomg. I fell in love with those beautiful cities. People there are really polite and old centers of cities are just really beautiful) And by the way, roads there are OK (can't say that about central UA)

Dany is right! Most Ukrainians are friendly and open minded. I had a very positive experience while traveling through Eastern Europe, 3 months total ( Ukraine, Moldova & Romania). Even though I stood out, most Ukrainians treated me very well. I remember being on a train and a family helped me with my bags, as well as share their food with me. I look forward to visiting Odessa one day. Keep these great videos coming!
