Staying in Russia is good. Russia volka is nice and world best. Russia girls are world beater in fitness and beauty. Not forgetting their endless supply of big meat and our dark chocolate and milk.

Singaporean ex-actor Ix Shen wants to stay in Ukraine to 'help in any way' he can​

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has left dozens killed and thousands fleeing. But former Mediacorp actor Ix Shen, who is currently based in Ukraine, told The Straits Times yesterday (24 February) in a Zoom video interview that he has no plans to leave.

Shen revealed that he was standing on the balcony of his home in Kyiv, Ukraine, when he heard a loud explosion, which he estimated to be 20km to 40km away, at about 10pm on Wednesday (23 February) or 4am yesterday (SGT).

“It was a very instantaneous flash. For a moment, I thought it was the moon being covered by the clouds, but the clouds would not have been able to move that fast,” he recalled. “Maybe about three seconds later, I heard a very loud boom.”

In addition to hearing a few more explosions and a series of air raid sirens, he also saw several low-flying fighter jets near his home, signifying the looming threat of war.

Shen, who turns 50 next month, has lived in the Podil district in Kyiv for the past four months with his Ukrainian wife of seven years, who is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He explained that they currently have no plans to leave the country as his wife is a reservist medical officer who may be mobilised for duty.

Although he has reassured his friends and family in Singapore that he is “alive and well”, the couple are more worried about his wife’s family in Odessa, a port city in Southern Ukraine, especially her grandmother who is in her 90s and unable to walk.

Shen added that they have been following the Ukrainian government’s advice to stay indoors and await new information. He also described that people are tense but remain orderly, with no frenzy or panic.

“The economy has come to a standstill pretty much because most of the shops are closed. The buses and the subway are still operating,” he disclosed. “People were worried that they wouldn’t be able to make online transactions to buy the groceries and water that they need. Fortunately, that is still available.”

In preparation for the impending war, he has stocked up on essential items such as rice, canned food and cooking gas. He plans to share them with the community and hopes to help those around him.

“I will not be able to live with myself if I just take off and go on my own,” Shen said, despite having the option to leave the country. “My main focus is to help in any way I can, to help my family, friends, neighbours to survive this situation.”

Ix Shen shows snowfall in Kyiv, helps patrol on building rooftop​


Former Mediacorp actor Ix Shen has posted another daily update from Kyiv, Ukraine.

As usual, he reassured his followers that he and his wife are "safe and ok" in the Instagram post from Mar. 1, six days after Russia invaded Ukraine.

In the post captioned "Heaven wants to hide landmarks", Shen said that some bombs came down from the sky the previous night, but so did snow.

Snow in Kyiv​

With a selfie stick in hand, Shen, who was dressed in layers, showed a panoramic view of the city covered in white snow.

Here's what he said in full: "Hi we're safe and ok. Yes, last night from the sky some bombs were coming down but so are the beautiful white snow. Look at how beautiful this city is."

He then repeated the same message in Mandarin.

That day, Shen also helped patrol the rooftop of the building where he is staying at.

Everyone is ready​

In an interview with CNA on Feb. 28, Shen said that he and his neighbours are "well-stocked" as they just went for their grocery run in the morning.


He also received an SMS to prepare to go into the bunkers at night with sufficient food, water and warm clothing.


"Everyone is ready if the fight becomes more intensive," he said.

When asked if he has observed if Russia's offensives have slowed, he responded by saying that he has seen a "fierce firefight" between the Russians and Ukrainians on the bridge near his place.

"There was a fierce firefight on the bridge and after that, they have been repelled."
He added that "there have been delays" based on an alleged Russian military schedule that has gone viral on social media.

"There was, on social media, these speculations among the Ukrainians that they have photographs of the schedule of the Russian forces whereby they're supposed to enter the city in the morning, meet some light resistance, surround the city in the afternoon, and then occupy the government centre and then have dinner break at maybe 1600 hours. So if that's the official schedule, then yeah, they have been delayed."
