Solo Along The Ukrainian-Russian Border ( One Day Before Invasion )

Buy my new book about becoming a YouTuber here:

🇺🇦Who could have predicted the horrors which were about to befall on Ukraine. I went there like so many others thinking an agreement would be reached at the last moment. Alas...

2 days ago after the war broke out I read in an article on German media about Kharkiv that the reporters met an "English tourist" on the otherwise deserted streets of the town. This seemed very strange to me at the time, asking myself who might be so insane to visit Kharkiv on the brink of war. But now its clear: this man must have been Bald on his mission - what a legend!

You are once again at the center of history, and I love you for it.

[TheItalianoAssassino]

This man is out here treating the world like an open world RPG interacting with every character and I respect you for it 😎

[TylernsuchPvP]

Seeing those young conscripts knowing they probably arent alive right now is so surreal

[isthispodracingg]

Man the silence after you asked “what will you do if there’s a war” to that cab driver hit me. The man obviously had some things on his mind and thought about that question before

[arminglibic]

Was waiting for this one, stay safe everyone out there.

"I can't imagine myself without Ukraine."

That really hit me. I hope that woman is safe and that there will continue to be a Ukraine for her to live in peace once the fighting stops.

every now and then i think about this village and its people, how their lives were affected...nearly three years flew like nothing and all we have right now is yet another hopeless continuation or more even a brutal escalation... i wish brighter future for this land and its people. thank you bald for this amazing video. героям слава.

This guy has crazy timing to be a vlogger

[jaboozie]

You can see the pain in his face when you asked him about what he would do if a war broke out. Hope he’s safe

[TJMack-]

"be grateful for what you've got." Never a truer word spoken. Stay safe, mate. 🇺🇦

[GZBro]

He made history there. Absolutley insane that he was there just a day before the invasion started.

[danjamesrunning]

Stay Safe Ben, you've connected us with the people of these countries like Ukraine 🇺🇦 it's shown more than the news ever could about the poor people who will be affected!

[JandCCards]

Man, this right here is the type of stuff that separates Bald from other travel vloggers. It's the risks, it's the true homogenization of himself into these cultures and families. Was looking forward to this one. Thanks for all you do Bald. Stay safe.

This will go down as one of your best videos.

Documenting the energy of Ukraine before the invasion. It’s jolting to see how calm and stoic everyone is. It sends chills down my spine watching this happen real time in 2022.

I’ll come back to this video for years to come as long as it stays on youtube. Well done Bald and thank you for highlighting the Ukrainian people. Stay safe.

[BananaBanana-gwyc]

Watching this today April 2024 and wondering if those people he met on that little village still alive? Are their homes still standing? My heart goes go everyone of them.

[etiennebonanno]

As soon as I heard about the invasion I was, like "I'm sure Bald went there to see for himself", and you did! I hope you're safe, dude.

[vegassist]

When the video begins, we can see your skepticism, so as I watched, I thought "he's in for a surprise", but the fact that you even published, and will continue to do so is really cool and you should be applauded. You could have easily buried it and just showed us "look here I am in the war!" but you chose to take the proper angle which illustrates how insane and surprising this situation is. Be safe and please carry on, Bald!

[coolperson]

Unbelievable content. Absolutely outstanding vlogging. It's as gritty and as realistic as you can get and really shows the real people that get caught up in international affairs.

[orakelgottes]

The last sentence: "be grateful with what you've got" .. that is big i mean that is huge!
