Brandon Mitchell - Ukraine Opposes the Evil of Russian Aggession - But Ukraine's War is Our War Too.

- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- Brandon Mitchell is a Canadian who is deeply involved and invested in the Ukraine war. As a member of the Hospitaller crew, he has been evacuating people and the wounded since the beginning of the war. Brandon was born in a small Canadian town near the Atlantic Ocean. At the age of 17, he joined the army, and served first in Canada and then in the UK. When the full-scale war began in Ukraine, Brandon could not stand aside. He decided that this was his war too.
“I couldn't think of anything but Ukraine. We all know that Russia is bad, and your whole country opposes this evil in the first days so strongly that I realized that I should be with the Ukrainians. A few days later I was in Lviv.”

This man has suffered great, great trauma. So far, two years of immersion in hell, surrounded by pain,suffering, and so much death. His testimony and witness is so vital and brings to light the human experience of survival amid enduring horror.
There are quite a lot of excellent interviews with Brandon Mitchell, on several other channels. In case you haven’t seen them, I’ll share a few. There is an Excellent long interview with Brandon broken up into several segments, on the Lindybeige channel. He was also interviewed on Georgijs (from Ukraine Matters) podcast channel, on Mercado Media’s Good Morning Kyiv show (look in MM’s playlists,) on Starsky’s channel, on The Shills (the one with the lime green world image) as well as Starsky, Rick the Ukrainian & others being guests there. Brandon has been on many more podcasts and interview videos. If you search his name you will find them! Well worth listening to his interviews, because he has quite a depth of experience that’s really difficult to condense. 💙✌🏼🇺🇦
I'd like to add "ScherpSchutters podcast", normally in Dutch, Brandon's episode is in English. Pretty long & free form. @@SalyLuz-hc6he
Thank you very much for having me on the show Jonathan!
Thank you for being with us...😊😊
Thank you for all you have done 👏👏👏
Amazing story. The world is a better place with people like Brandon.
Hi Brandon thanks for doing this talk with Jonathon 👍🏼 please give Masa a scratch under the chin from me!
I first saw you in your interview on the CBC. Your dedication and courage are admirable. 🇨🇦
Brandon Mitchell is one of the most beloved persons of the volunteer community in Ucraine ! Love and respect forever ! 💙💛💙💛💖

I've seen Brandon being funny and I've seen him being focused on his work. This is the first time I truly felt the emotional powerless side of him. I know he will keep on doing the best he can in spite of his doubts. Brandon is a brave man and a true humanitarian. ❤
It was a great interview Jonathan.
👍👍👍
Brandon stepped up when many stepped back ... and what ever may come in Ukraine in the coming years, knowing there are people like Brandon in this world ...means we will always have a fighting chance against what is to come. Nothing but respect for Brandon. Great interview.
One of the best interviews so far. Always rewarding to hear from someone who's been there and who speaks so honestly and passionately about the big picture. Big thanks to you both for making this happen. Slava Ukraini
I think the interviews with first hand witnesses are the best ones.
He's done some amazing things for the people in both the Ukranian military forces and the Hospitallier Volunteer Organization.
He's been harmed by a mine while driving, the vehicle was a complete write-off.
The Ukranian military forces trust him very highly. 🔱🇺🇦🇨🇦🫂
I'm so glad Jonathan you've managed to corner Brandon down for an interview. He's just such an amazing voice and window in this war. He's no profound intellect, which he would readily admit, but what he has seen, done, achieved is beyond remarkable. At the same time he speaks so eloquently in honesty on behalf of Ukraine his voice so needs to be heard.
You're both right, the longer this war goes on, the more danger Ukraine is in.
It's almost as if today the west has become a greater danger to Ukraine than Russia?.
Sorry, but I need to remind everyone in Britain and America, we both have a sovereign duty to support Ukraine at all costs because in 1994 we both signed the Budapest memorandum. Ukraine must win !!!. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦.
👍👍👍
It was not a treaty and any agreement became null and voidbthe moment the democraticly elected government in Kiev was over thrown in 2014 where a couple of thousand people decided the fate of a country of 39 millions. No amount of spin can change that fact. The same as the Bolshevics of 1917 ?
@@samsungtap4183 overthrown?!? there were protest, and he couldn’t handle it and ran like a little wimp away from the situation, more like the government abandoned its people so the people formed a new government since the last one ran away
@@samsungtap4183 Like, why you be lying, boo? Have you been there, boo?
Like, the otsosijski puppet first promised to intagrate Ukraine more into Europe by signing the next cooperation deal, like people wanted, but later decided to jump ship because them otsosijski naziki be paying him a huge bribe, lol. Ukrainians stood up against this abuse of of power, and the otsosijski puppet ran into naziki otsosija. No amount of your otsosijski naziki d-rider lies will change this fact, boo.
Like, learn how to spell, boo. There is no kiev, boo, there is Kyiv, and no amount of your otsosijski ish will chnage that.
We need to praise people like Brandon instead of soccer players and actors who do NOTHING.
There should be more Brandons in the world. Thanks Jonathan, another great guest
Maximum respect for the volunteers like Brandon.
..Brendon The Dunbas Taxi ) and others like him are some of the best volunteers that there is…💙💛💙
less talk more donations!!
@@hctim96 exactly, unlike that "poor Russian" Tashkent coward grifter on the last podcast that all the fools were praising and "feeling his pain", WTF pain, he lives the high life, he donates NOTHING to Ukraine and keeps all the money he grifts to eat at the "Breakfast Club" restaurant five days a week, when he could have come to Ukraine and joined the Russian Freedom battallion....just saying
@@hctim96im poor due to health issues so sadly I can't donate. But I do everything I can online to support Ukraine.
@@ElRabito we all do what we can! Thank you for doing your part! Like, comment, share online, and talk to other people, especially the decision makers. Writing and calling our leaders can make a difference if we're informed and persistent.
So inspiring! Ukraine is the story of our time and I am so grateful for Silicon Curtain's unfailing focus.
All about Ukraine!🇺🇦
What an excruciating barbaric tragedy. Thanks , Jonathan, for keeping the world aware and informed. Slava Ukraini. Glory AND Victory!
Thank you Brandon for all you have done. You are an example for us all!
Dear Jonathan, thank you for having Brandon on your channel. I think he´s great at telling his story. I hope both of you will bond in the future for further events. You are doing a great job Jonathan and for the right cause! Please keep it up.
Thank you for volunteering Brandon and greetings from Canada. I hope you are well and have help to cope with the horrors of war. Please continue to speak out in support of Ukraine as long as you are in position to do so safely. The enormous costs of this war in human resources is heartbreaking and angering as politicians fiddle. Slava Ukraini!!
His comment about Ukraine where women are head of the family, I agree with as I've seen interviews where "Babusia" (meaning Grandmother) is mentioned with respect.
Brilliant conversation between two people who I really trust. Thank you for living and sharing your talents. You're making a difference.
Brandon ❤
Thank you Jonathan for having him on! 💙💛🇺🇦
We need to do some advertising for the UK tour Brandon Mitchell is going to be part of. 🔱🇺🇦💯

TY Brandon for everything,very gratefull and appriciated a lot.take care and be safe🇺🇦🇸🇪❤️👍
Brandon is a role model and inspiration for the Ukraine community imo. 🇺🇦
Id also like to say this gentleman from silicon curtain has a quality I admire. Im new to watching him but hes real and genuine and kind from what ive experienced over the last two weeks 👍✌️ great guy
Thank you so much for interviewing ONLY the people i admire 😌
Brandon is a hero !
Слава Україні! 🇺🇦❤
So many still care!!! Great job Brandon & a very insightful interview. Thank you!!
Mad respect for Brandon. He heard the call didn't hesitate and did. Accomplished. He has a clarity a purpose and drive. Truly a great person part of the Greatest Generation. Appreciate both of your insight and understanding. This is a struggle beyond just this brutal war. Realpolitic led to this. Realpolitic is a completely immoral throwback to the time of the kings. It never evolved. Human rights human suffering humans have no value in it, they do not count. It's enemy is revolution it solidifies control by autocrats and spheres of influence. It does not believe problems can be solved so doesn't try to solve them. It is the opposite of Liberalism, Zelensky is a Liberal. Realpolitic will be the end of us all if it continues.
Maybe we can recast the phrase, "Let's go Brandon!" to be meaningful and act of courage. So yes, thank you Brandon.
Yes that’s how I’ve been taking it for almost 2 years now! For me it’s an inspiration to do the best I can, to help Ukraine, like Brandon Mitchell! 🖖🏼💙💛🇺🇦💪🏽
Thank you Jonathen and Brandon. Brandon you are an amazing person! ++ ❤ from South Africa
I just have to say I find Brandon a very likeable fellow. I've followed most of his posts and have missed him.

Seconded

Thank you Brandon and Jonathan. May God bless you both and give justice for Ukraine 🇺🇦❤🇸🇯
Ukrainian and Russian are as different as French and Spanish according to the chief interpreter of the US State Department some years ago. She also predicted (1992) that bilingualism would drastically decline in the next generation.
Je confirme ! Ukrainians and russians are really different ! …After 5 years in Ukraine and knowing russia
Great to see you Brandon. Always seem to hear something I haven't heard you mention before. Good luck in the UK 🇬🇧 next month.🌟 Will share details on social media when Jonathan gets info. Thank you Jonathan as always .
👍👍👍
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
I hope the next interview with Brandon focuses on the real matters. Why it's important to donate to volunteers like him. I think there are still a lot of people who think army gives little things for soldiers.
Every unit is slightly different, but usually the most you can count on the Ukrainian military to be able to give new guys is weapons, ammo and one uniform. The vast majority of people have to buy everything else they need. If you’re somewhere like a training camp they will usually feed you, some places you might get MREs for out in the trench. Literally everything else you need to buy for yourself, or have a friend/relative send to you. I agree I would love to hear more from Brandon! 💙🙏🏼💛
“The short attention span of democracy”. As a fellow Canadian I understand what you mean. I know others will too. Thank you Jonathon, I certainly enjoy you stream. Brandon is an inspiration.
Also the Canadian and the US media has a short attention span, I became frustrated a month into the war and started searching for updates online for more information and in depth coverage. Being a senior I previous had relied on the news on TV, now myself and my peers have switched to online.
Another great interview. Excellent news. All will be Ukraine. Slava Ukraini

Brandon does incredible work for Ukraine,he motivates me to do more and he has a wicked sense of humour, despite everything hes experienced. Excellent interview! I Thankyou.
Slava Ukraini!💙💛
👍👍👍
Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for watching!
The detail of Brandon's life on the front is raw and recorded, hopefully a film will be made after this nightmare is over about his dedicated and bravery.
Thank you Jonathan for your interesting and informative interviews
👍👍👍
Good work as always , great guest , Mr. Mitchell is a real man .
First few moments of the interview and it's obvious UA fights because of love, whereas RU fights for money. You don't have to be a bard to figure out which one of those values is closer to freedom - however simplified this sounds. And I am so pitying the trolls, especially the ones who do that job for free. Saddest job on earth, whatever the pay
Great interview. Some good points on the achievability of victory.
People tend to forget about the costs. I can't look at a military map anymore and join in the cheers for progress, knowing at what cost it came. And I haven't even lived through war myself. Just from these stories from Brandon and some of his close friends.
I still believe in victory, but a lot depends on what people in the West will want to tell their grandchildren. Did we vote for our Western values? Or were they just a thin veneer anyway?
Very well said, ma'am. ++
This! 💙💛
Write down your thoughts and war experiences, Brandon. They are vivid and memorable, just listening to you. It will become part of Ukraine's history library of this war. Your endearing humility and honesty come through. A very touching account
I’m really hoping he will be able to write a book after the war! Already his experiences would probably feel to Books; but he really is an inspirational role model to do the best I can, each day! 💙💛🖖🏼🇺🇦🫡
@@SalyLuz-hc6he "memories of a neonazi in Ukraine"
@@attilamarics3374 What a ridiculous and lame liar. Do you even understand that he’s a Medic, and as such he SAVES LIVES?? He’s even given medical care to some pitifully starved soldiers from your side, once captured.
You can’t even lie well, as anyone who knows Brandon or has even watched a couple of his videos knows that his medical service and civilian evacuation etc has all been from a desire to save lives of noble Ukrainians, in Response to the unjustified & unprovoked invasion of fascist ruSSian nazism! We’ve seen the atrocities and war crimes your people commit, as your Colonial leaders follow the Hitler-Stalin Playbook! PS, those plans don’t lead to a good end.
Always great to hear an interview of Brandon Mitchell. Thank you
Silicon Curtain for the videos of the awesome folks you have spoken with.
Wearing his heart on his sleeve, he enriches every heart he touches...Love ya #BrandonMitchell 🩵👍💐🕊️
Hello Jonathan 👋
A humble and respectful guest who summed it up perfectly when he said there is a way to victory, but the delays (particularly the USA), are narrowing the window of opportunity.
The MAGA republicans who are currently holding up support are not only endangering Europe (and by extension the world) but needlessly costing Ukrainian lives and emboldening dictatorships and terrorist states around the world.

Loving these interviews. I’ve been donating as much as I can every now and then to Brandon and others like him.
Thank you Jonathan for having Brandon on your show! He does such great things for Ukraine. The more exposure he gets the more help he will get for Ukraine!
Thank you for this video. I also hope some people and politicians in charge watch this video.

Thank you for posting this interview. Brandon experiences carry a lot of empathy and courage.
Keep being strong and glory to Ukraine !
I'm glad I suggested you do an interview and that Brandon was already on your radar. David from Montreal.
Brandon, as allways epic! Punching trough, more than life, really way much more!!!
Hey herring choker, good to see you out and about. i've been following your marathon videos. great vids. Keep up the good work. Thank you Silicon Curtain for hosting Brandon.
After years of Firefighting as a volunteer I don’t know if I would have been able to go into a combat zone. Getting shot at by gang’s seems almost like petty fear. Great job guys.
Firefighters are also needed in Ukraine. Many of them have joined the military.
Brandon!! 🎉🎉💪💪💛💙
Liking before even watching!
Thank you for having Brandon on, Jonathan! Deepest gratitude to Brandon for his incredible work!
Most of us who left the East due to employment. I was digging graves for 2.50 an hour in SJ, NB but in the West I could get 5 bucks an hour just as a labourer. Cost of living was less too, beer was 10 cents a glass. Wow, I'm getting old. 🙃
Such interesting people on this site even if they were not in the war. Some books and films will come from all this. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Thank you Jonathan!
He's going on tour throughout the UK. Hopefully he can get the people, politicians to bloody wake up!
@@ninemoonplanet 💪 he is like the Energizer bunny! He just doesn't quit 😉 I wish the U.S. MAGA crowd would wake up!
@@LisaNH934true...
@@LisaNH934Sadly they seem so duped, so blind. They’re drinking poison and believing lies, trying to start a civil war! I really do hope they wake up! I can’t understand why so many older people I know have been fooled by him!?! 😔 💙🇺🇦🫡🖖🏼
@@LisaNH934 Can you elaborate why exactly Trump supporters should wake up? I think they woke up already, especially when Biden provoked the war and then when the war started, he simply bailed on Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins long time before the war, while your sleepy Joe was only expressing "deep concerns" during the first days of invasion. You guys should wake up and realize that Joe Biden is the enemy to USA and Ukraine. Thank you and greetings from Ukraine.
Thank you Jonathan and big thanks to Brandon for your unwavering support Ukraine and the many Courageous Ukrainian people you have helped, it’s truly hard to imagine the terror and horrors these cowardly invaders have put the Ukrainian nation through. We are all Gods children but sadly we see some living in the darkness of evil being educated to hate and fear others through the corrupted regimes for their own cruel evil greed and entitlement. For Humanity to move forward away from this dark evil and stand United and hold Gods light over this darkness for there is no future in wars, aggression and terrorism that these corrupted regimes depend on and work towards a world that finds peace with other nations. We all have Inner Peace within each of us when we seek this and dwell there we will have no need for wars, greed or hate and nations. We as a Humanity must all wake up and move away from the darkness and fear they humans have been conditioned with and look for solutions that recognise everyone’s right to live, be the change you want to see and always walk in your light. Glory to Ukraine holding the light for freedom and the rights of all of humanity 🙏🏻🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🏻🙏
Kissinger quote is precisely correct. The Great Power focus, so inappropriate in other contexts, marks his approach. His doctoral dissertation was on the Council of Vienna where big powers sorted out Europe after fall of Napoleon. Ukraine is very different. About time and war. His frustrations would be seconded be Grant in his memoirs, where his superiors wasted months and extended the war by years by acting too slowly early in the war. “Ask me for anything but time” Napoleon once said.
His pronunciation of Ukrainian towns and villages is very good. What a guy! ❤❤❤
@ukraine_tbic is a force multiplier and it hurts to hear him say he sees a way to victory but its getting smaller. 50/50 odds is so frustrating for what we could do if the powers that be would let us!
