wonderful insight into what is really happening and the people that are helping those in need . thanks for doing what you do both of you 🙂
Wonderful man….so glad this is happening…may I ask, what work does your father do that he has so much freedom of time. And, where did he and you, learn such very good english??
I'm curious, how do you and your dad know English so well? I speak both english and russian, but thats because I grew up in the US.
This is what humanity is all about. Helping rebuild and not destroy. God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish your father and everyone who does this work all the best. To see all this suffering and destroyed buildings and come back time after time is quite heroic.
You speak perfect English.
Your dad is amazing!
Thank 😊 God for your dad's humanity 🙏 ❤️! He is a real life hero!
💖💖💖
I am curious. Does your Dad feel it's was okay for Russia to destroy and Steal a Person whole life from them? Was the Destruction worth Russia to Steal a Beautiful city, just to make Russia a bit bigger? He is very kind, but would he help a UKRAINE PERSON?
I find it interesting that you have so much trouble acknowledging that Russia has occupied Mariupol and other cities illegally. If you really want to help, how about speaking about how disgusting it is that Russia has attacked a peaceful neighbour and continues to do everything it can to inflict pain and suffering. Ukrainians don’t need your little trinkets that you give to make up for the murder that you and your government has inflicted on them.
Thank you, Vika, for introducing us to your father and his brave and selfless work. He and his colleagues will be in our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
I can not believe that people could make these ruins. Russians or Ukrainians, it does not matter, it's one nation, one folk.
Victoria, your dad is a high moral man.
His English is better than that of most German sales managers.
А вы похожи 😊
Why did you decide to help civilians in a destroyed city annexed by your government?
‚ I don’t know, I felt something…‘
Right in the feels. And maybe all the best reasoning ever.
Omg your dad speaks such great English!!!! And with an American accent 🙂 I love it
Please, tell you father to do not use phase "my English is bad" never again! It is very very good❤ terrible things are happening there 😢. Sending love and support from Poland ❤❤❤❤ your dad is the best!
He speaks better English than some of the people here in the USA speak, fantastic. Good looking guy and you are luck to have a father so young!
Hi Vika. Do you have permission from local authority to collect donations on you private account? Are you registered to raise founds? Otherwise, the suspected charity fraud could be reported.
Your dad speaks wonderful English like you..Lovely man.Thank you.
So very interesting and very understandable 👍Thankyou.
Such a tragic situation.
I had to smile at the beginning because my dad was (just) 19 when I was born and I had my first daughter when I was 19, too, so he was a grandad at 38 and nobody could believe it, like you lol
We have always spoken English as a family but live in a German-speaking environment so it‘s really hard for us to speak German together when other people are around who don‘t speak English! He is now 77 and has 3 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren 😉
I cant believe he's non english speaker. His english is even better than you 😃
Mariupol is Russia! Citizens will neger go back to a state the used them as human schield for months, and terrorized for eight years, stop justifying fascism and american imperialism, i live in italy so i know Usa propaganda well, we have been living as their colony since 1945, there is no freedom here, only the illusion of having it
Sad that Russia did it.
Oh fantastic, we’re so blessed to hear what your father is able to do with the other volunteers. It’s so encouraging to see God use your father and others to go into Ukraine and help. I really want to pray and keep praying for him others and this work. Gods peace and grace to you all in Jesus x we are from the UK.
❤
to rebuild will take forever…
❤️🇺🇦❤️🙏🇸🇪
Why did your dad go to a foreign country without permission?
Hope to visit one day when its back in Ukraine, how may people have russia killed today?
Этому Мужику (с очень большой буквы) огромный респект-уважуха!!! А к Вике вопрос — отец ничего не имел против ТАКОГО названия ролика? Ты Мариуполь назвала украинским… Киевские власти сразу же забыли о жителях и жалеют только о том, что не могут достать до города снарядами…
They will make movies about Mariupol and the bravery of Ukrainians , especially the heroic soldiers of Azov Battalion.
Your dad’s English is great. I’m so sad about the conflict going on, and for all the conflicts in the world. So many people are suffering and need help. It is so wonderful that your dad can help so many, and especially going and talking to folks, listening to their stories. That is needed as well. Sharing their grief feels very humanizing.
I think your dad needs to get his YouTube channel up and running We would love to see & hear those Mariopol stories
The world needs more people like your dad
Your dad needs to go to the Kremlin and protest this war. How nice of him to help after the fact of destruction! Pitiful!
So incredible, thank you for sharing.
Gosh..your father speaks better English (including yourself) than some English people! Where did he learn to speak English so articulately? Do most Russians speak English? Is it taught at schools? 🫶 from Australia. x
This was a very good interview. Very inspiring.
Mariupol is now Russian 🇷🇺and the inhabitants are very pleased !
A fantastic man, intelligent, passionate and a good heart. We need more people like him in this cruel, selfish world.
Why are you laughing in this video? It's totally inappropriate. Russians completely destroy beautiful Mariupol and slaughter 100,000 innocent civilians in one of the worst war crimes in human history and you expect us to admire you for your 'charity'? You want us to believe the Russians are the good guys? Really? This video is truly sickening.
