Here is how the mayor of the Dnieper describes his acquaintance with him.
“Such a simple uncle. We sit, tryndim, laugh, ate borscht. An hour, two, three, five we communicate. “Listen, Tim, your face looks familiar… Are you a movie actor by any chance?” – “Well … Almost. We actually finished with the guys of Bin Laden and his whole gang.” And laughs. Silent pause. Eeeee. Let me google. Shock. Meet the famous Tim Kennedy. US national hero, commando and MMA fighter. Came to visit. Support us and the boys at zero, too, ”said Filatov.
Arriving in Ukraine and visiting the front lines (see photo below in the bomb crater of the invaders from the Russian Federation), Kennedy described the sensations as follows: “I can’t help but feel that the world is going through one of its darkest moments.”
“But every day I see how human beauty emerges through the horrors of war. I saw courage. I saw dedication. I saw how the neighbors take care of each other,” added Tim.
