Dmytro Komarov Launches New Season from Zmeinyi Island, Symbol of Ukraine's Strength

Dmytro Komarov, a journalist and author of the project "The World Inside Out. Ukraine" project, Dmytro Komarov started the new season of his show in 2025 from Odesa region.

Together with border guards, the show's team visited Zmeinyi Island, the journalist said.

"We dedicated the first episode to Zmeinyi Island, which has become a symbol of Ukrainian strength since the first day of the full-scale war. The place from which the phrase that everyone knows was uttered in response to the threat of destruction. How do the defenders of Zmiinyi live and work today, where in any situation you are face to face with the elements and can only rely on your own strength?" commented Dmytro Komarov.

In December 2023, Dmytro Komarov visited the de-occupied and mined territories of Mykolaiv region and showed the work of local sappers.

He is not the only blogger who has visited Odesa region in recent years. In September 2024, Olya Manko and Max Uzol continued to travel around the southern part of Odesa region and visited the city of Vilkovo, which is called the Ukrainian Venice.

This was the second video about Olya Manko and Max Uzol's trip. In the first one, they visited one of the most mysterious and exotic regions of Ukraine - Bessarabia, which can be reached only through Moldova. During their trip, the bloggers visited the resort village of Lebedivka, the cities of Bolhrad and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and the villages of Semenivka, Frumushyka Nova, and Semysotka.

Also, the team of documentary filmmakers from the Thickets project, whose participants travel to the most remote and deserted villages of Ukraine on their way back from working on a documentary about interesting places in the center of Odesa region, stayed in Podil district and filmed another episode.

Earlier, the "Thickets" team visited the villages of Odesa region: Hrybivka, Prylymanske, Lymanske, and a number of other villages, and explored their history, name changes, population, and the catacombs in Nerubayske, which are the longest in the world.
