I rode Ukrainian Railways to Eastern Ukraine... 

Thank you so much! I love this country. 😁🇺🇦

I did the same journey in 2021! 😊

Interesting, thank you!😊

@@SuperalbsTravels wanted to write the same as already written above. I'll only add that it's not something typical for Ukraine, so it looks same strange for Ukrainians as for you. :)

thats what I thought, how many of the faces are still there now?

It's terrible, and totally unforgivable...

Spiderman into spiderverse

they are not gone spiderman

I've experienced that first hand my grandma in the Kyiv shellings and also my friend's uncle is in the frontline

Sounds great. Hope you are safe and well. 👍

Yes, I always see the flag in various natural places! 😊

Spiderman into spiderverse

Ukrainian flag itself actually represents the sunset) But it is more common to say that ukrainian flag represents the golden wheat field and the blue sky above it.

Thank you my friend 🙏

I know 😊

@@NonstopEurotrip can i bribe you? :D

@@Applecake771 Pretty sure he had a toilet accident lol

Noooooope 😂😂😂

@@paul_ko worse 🫣

Nice, and that's a really scenic route too! 😍

Thank you! :)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the trip. 🇺🇦

Thanks for watching! There are lots of nice carriages in Ukraine, even brand-new ones built locally. 😃

VL60 is almost all out of service due to their age. Trains from Odesa are pulled by VL80 / VL40u / ChS4 until Poltava (crew change happens in Pomichna or Znamyanka) and then in Poltava a bi-current loco VL82M replaces the previous locos. It can easily pass through a neutral voltage point in Ohyltsi without need of loco change. But all VL locos are supposed to be cargo ones, they're used for passenger trains due to shortage of specifically passenger ones in Odesa region.

@@ЮрійЛозовенко i main ain't only difference between cargo and passenger locos in high voltage line for electric heating?

@@Coole000 there is no difference in voltage lines, moreover - no passenger cars have electric heating. it's coil. still. unfortunately

@@Coole000 also EPT (Electropneumatic braking) equipment, for smoother braking.

The voltage was standardised nationwide last year during the electrification of the Kovel and Sarny lines to 25kV. Most trains are now pulled by either GE or ЧС8 trains.

Awesome, it's great value! 😊

I'm surprised they still exist in Ukraine. I haven't seen them for decades in Western Europe. Jai Ram!

Interesting, thanks! 😅

I agree, and thanks for watching! :)

It's horrible, absolutely disgusting. 😭❤️🇺🇦

why would you call an entire country as 'agressor' because of politics?

@@playdaniil6872 Because 90% of population support war and putin. Country of id..ots.

@@playdaniil6872 Russia literally is the agressor country, as they are the ones who started the war, it doesn't matter if the people don't support war, Russia is still the agressor.

I hope so too... ❤🇺🇦

If you want antique and fascinating - you should look at the Polish railway system.

So the stories say, not sure if it's true, but it's funny to think about! 😂

@@SuperalbsTravels I've looked it up and it's not so much about a misunderstanding, but it does indeed come from Vauxhall.

@@SeverityOne Awesome! :)

There is nothing strange in this. The word "vauxhall" in the Russian Empire meant a place of entertainment. In the first years after the opening of the railway, each train was met with an orchestra; listening to music required a special building. And then it began to be used as a waiting hall and a place to sell tickets.

Me too, it's an incredible place! 🇺🇦

good luck, mines are everywhere.

@@german_novotiable surely not in a train carriage?

Thanks, I agree! 🇺🇦

Hopefully! I tried to film one recently, but it broke down. ☹️

Absolutely! ❤️🇺🇦

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a lovely trip.

It is sad to look back and think about the situation nowadays...

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Thanks for the information and kind words! 😊

Glad you enjoyed! 🇺🇦

Sunset, but yes it was amazing!

😢

I've used them quite a bit, but never filmed one.

Yes there is AC and DC lines throughout Ukraine. But you are wrong, in Ukraine they use VL80s on passenger very often. 😁

@@SuperalbsTravels In Russia, all locomotives of the VL series are used only in freight transportation (10, 11 on DC, 80 on AC). But they are being actively replaced: 10 and 11 by 2ES6, and 80 by ES5K 😊.

@@АлексейСамсонов-в4т yes sadly the Russian state is that cruel and genocidal...

It’s not really russia, it’s 99% Putin

@@user-pn2ni1sv3i let me guess your proof comes from the Russian media...

@@oreticeric8730 it has already been proven that no one in the Ukranian government was a Nazi... the only questionable battalion they had was the azov batallion... that "denazifcation" bullshit is already disproven even Russia doesn't give a shit about that anymore... we all know Russia just wanted a excuse to escalate the war further...

If Russia truly cared about the people in Donbas, they could’ve reached an agreement with Ukraine like the UK did with Ireland but instead chose to treat them like political pawns for their own gain and conquest.

Yes, I have tried them all except Škoda double-deck.

Agreed... ☹️🇺🇦

Thanks, that makes more sense! 😂

Героям слава! 🇺🇦

Me too! ❤️🇺🇦

not at all mate, even Kharkiv's station is mostly unscathed

when Russia annexed Crimea, all Ukrainian trains were still operating. I did a trip to Crimea in April 2014, there were delays in arrival and departure times, also a mess in timetables because Crimea switched to a Moscow time (1 hour difference). In April 2014 there was even no passport control from Ukrainian side. But everything was operating. When the war started on east of Ukraine, surprisingly trains were also still operating there, even though it was extremely dangerous. My friend told me she went from Kyiv to Mariupol and in Donetsk soldiers (not Ukrainians) with weapon entered the train and were checking everyone. At some point due to danger the trains to Donetsk and Lugansk stopped operating somewhere in the middle of 2014. The trains to Crimea were still operating till the very end of 2014. Since that time the railway infrastructure in east Ukraine in the parts that are not controlled by Ukraine are in a very sad condition. In Crimea the situation is better because Russia has organised Russian trains there. I was at East Ukraine in 2018 and at that year the situation was relatively calm, so many Ukrainian regional trains started coming right to the frontline, a few hundred meters from the trenches of the military. But that's only about regional trains, as for sleepers like in this video, they didn't go so far. I also heard that there was even a train going to Avdeevka, which is extremely close to the frontline, from the top of the houses there you can see Donetsk. So if not a full-scale invasion, I am sure that everything would have been fine. As for 2022, there was so big mess with the full-scale invasion... There's a video on the RU-vid that the Russian tank is crossing the railway just in front of the moving passenger train... People say that happened somewhere on the South of Ukraine, in the area which is now occupied. In February-March some trains were delayed for DAYS, not just hours. At the moment it's back to some schedule and Ukrainians are joking that trains in Ukraine are more punctual that in European countries even though there's a full-scale war... but of course a lot of infrastructure is ruined.

Ah. That would make more sense! 😂

Hi, are you re-inventing the history again? In the USSR, many trains with routes had the names of birds (Burevestnik, Bely Aist, Vyatka). But now this relic of the past is an occasion for Ukrainian turbo patriotic pride painted in the colors of the flag and inserted Ukrainian tridents. But for some reason, the Soviet symbol was removed from the mother's homeland, but Ukrainians still continue to use everything Soviet.

Although I read here about this "Chaika" from Zaporozhye (the chaika train goes to Odessa, and Odessa itself was founded from a fortress on behalf of Catherine 2, whose monument was also demolished, I remind you) and I see that the same boats but with the name "Nasad/насадѣ" were used by ancient Russians, though not for robberies, with the first mentions from 1015. I see an interesting repetition of the Ukrainian Cossack history: lies, excessive pride, robberies

The bird is different word in Ukrainian. During Soviet times, the Odessa-Kyiv service was called “Чорноморець” and not like any of the Russian shit birds. Russian commentator - chill and go join your warship

@@SvyatoslavPidgorny This route appeared only after the collapse of the USSR, in 1998. When I click on the link on Wikipedia, I don’t see what it was called before, but I see that the trains were called in Russian, except for one single Dnieper, where they even specifically emphasized it, what pride! Well, I say - you rewrite history perfectly

Oops, I am terrible at emphasising letters. Thank you!

Ukrainian railway engineers are great and very skilled in constantly maintaining and improving such system during a war!

​@yuuyuun It's a fascinating system, and the fact they keep it going so well even these days is truly impressive.

No they didn’t. It was built super cheap, everything was constantly broken and never modernised

It's a Special Military Operation Not a W** ​@@eruno_

Yes, it's Krishnaits, its a big commune especially in Odessa city.

Thanks for the information! 😁

It's not Y3, it is УЗ (or UZ).

Thanks! 😃

Fair enough! 😂😂😂

Did you?:)

@@cestmoitransportation I did.

Possibly, it depends on my schedule at any given time. :)

Best of luck! Your work is appreciated by many. 🇺🇦

@@SuperalbsTravels thanks)

Ah yes, I love the atmosphere of stations in winter. :)

Thank you, I agree... 🙏

Nope, sadly not... 😭

carriage staff supplies you with snacks and drinks, so you can buy something without entering another coach.

Thank you very much! 😊

Thanks!

They're mostly high platforms in Odesa, just not at the very end.

how dare he add colour to the narration

Sadly not, I see a lot of abandoned trains in Serbia... :(

Thanks!

Yes! 😍🇺🇦

Sorry, I had forgot. 😅

he speaks english. english is a international language understood in most countries.

@@funnel_fish I thought east europeans can't speak english...

I think in Ukraine there are more people who can speak English than in Germany))@@eisenbahnerharthausen

Not sure, I have a lot of videos to make. :)

@@SuperalbsTravels ok, thanks for the answer, wasnt expeting it tbh, but im glad i was wrong:)

I agree, I hope Russia is removed from Ukraine as soon as possible. 🙏🇺🇦

The only way to achieve peace is the complete defeat of Russia and regime change. In any other case, they will regroup and attack again.

Speaking of, that 11:55 looks pretty much identical to the train station in Iasi.
