The Journey begins… On the 3/3 I took a flight from Luton, England to Krakow, Poland. Via Poland seemed the easiest way into the Ukraine. Note: all the 33’s.

Evan tho unvaxxed, I entered Poland with ease on the condition I left within 24 hours. So I wasted no time, and took a train from Krakow to Przemysl. The only sign of WAR was the name of the cafe’

Lights, Camera….ACTION!!! Przemysl Train Station (the Refugee movie set) A well planned stage managed route ensures the Ukrainians arriving are bottled necked and compressed into the ticket hall so the media can create the illusion of ‘hell on Earth’.

Visual effects are key! Outside the Refugee train station, police vehicles leave the lights flashing. Every 20 minutes, the sirens turn on and vehicle does a loop around the block.

Stage Management … The ‘Video Village’ of Przemysl. Here we find the director and producer of the refugee movie. All staged photos need good lighting.

I am unable to find a hostel or hotel, full of refugees you ask? No! All the hotels in this town are taken up by the press Whilst these scumbags sleep in luxury, poor Ukrainians are left to sleep at the railway station. Creating more staged photo opportunities for the press

Creating a Scene

Here you can see how perfectly fine doors are blocked by signs and volunteers(aka stage hands)… Bottle necking everyone through one door, the camera crews set up to capture this manufacturing chaos for the cameras.

Lviv, Ukraine(Railway station)… another movie set. I arrive around 2am, I help an old lady with her bags as she seeks information on travel to her home town of Odessa. Once she is sorted with tickets I take a closer look around. (The 33 continues to follow me)

Lviv Railway station… Manufactured chaos once again, a curfew is enforced form 8pm till 8am meaning travellers can’t leave the station and are forced into participating the fully immersive 4D crisis experience, complete with props like the TRASH CAN FIRE.

Just for the record, you can just buy a regular train ticket into Kyiv, either online or at the station. Trains are running as normal. (4th March I arrived)

Filming around Kyiv train station was near impossible. Talking/texting on the phone was ok. The moment you turned the phone into the filming position… Agent Smiths with guns would appear. (Agent Smith=Government/police) I got pulled aside twice within 10mins. So I left.
