bimboeruption: "Denys Davydov is cited by mommy as a source for the vast majority of propaganda she posts.
Listed below are his YouTube estimated earnings for the last 10 months totaling $218.5K."

Key points about Davydov:

1. Davydov is just one of many who report regularly on news from Ukraine.
   These are all based on public news reports and war-maps available from several sources.

2. Davidov is arguably the most popular of these Ukraine oriented YouTubers, making him most valuable in presenting publicly known facts about Ukraine to the world.

3. If Davydov's current income is indeed $218,000 that compares to earnings of a senior airline pilot, which was his pre-war job.
   Pilots earn circa $400,000 per year, so if anything, Davydov has taken a pay cut.

4. There is no evidence proving Davydov is a "draft dodger".

5. Beyond a YouTube address, there is no proof he's actually living in Switzerland.

6. Davydov is a married family man.
   There's no evidence to support Mocker's claims he is "partying and living large" in Switzerland.

7. Any suggestions about UMCRevMom@aol.com "Do you think mommy is getting a kickback?" are simply malicious insults, in violation of normal FR rules and so have no proper place on Free Republic, imho.

Denys was a pilot for Skyup, a low-cost airline out of Kiev, Ukraine.

According to SalaryExplorer, the HIGH (pay attention, I said HIGH.) monthly salary for a Ukrainian pilot with 20+ years of experience and a Master’s Degree is 65,500 UAH per month which equates to 1785.2468509 USD per month. (2023 figures)

65,500 UAH X 12 = 786,000 UAH

786,000 UAH = 21,422 USD

$400.000 a year is a salary for a First World pilot...not a Third World pilot.

To sum it up, Denys makes over $200,000 more per year shilling his propaganda on YouTube than he did as a Uke pilot.
