RE: War Story - Wednesday Walk in Almere, Netherlands | Veterinary help - Refugee Life

It's good to read that you're a little better. The war has changed the lives of many people, I read that it has caused a refugee situation in these 50 days, to the point that some 4.7 million people have left Ukraine and it is estimated that within This country has seen the forced displacement of 10 million people, that has disrupted the lives of all these people and affects the entire country, in fact, it negatively affects the entire region.
It's nice that they are in spring and could go for a walk on a sunny day :)
Getting lost walking in a new city is something that happens, in fact it has happened to me too. It's nice that people on the street helped you with directions to the vet clinic.
I liked reading that Gigi enjoyed the walk sniffing everything and that she received a good dose of attention :)
I wish that Gigi and you overcome a little stress and recover more every day.

The crisis already started and day by day it will get worst. What is the solution? I don't know. All I can see is the suffering of people...

A few weeks ago, I was discussing the situation with a friend and I managed to summarize my idea in the phrase "Wars are declared by people who do not suffer from them, and are the cause of suffering for those who did not declare them"
Words more or words less, but the idea is simple. If those who call for war were forced to suffer it, they would be less likely to initiate it.
I am not able to see a short-term solution either, I really do not feel competent to analyze all this mess, but I can understand that the consequences are serious, even if the war ended this very weekend, for whatever reason it was this good situation, even so, the damage to the economy is already done, the destruction of the cities will take time to be repaired, even with the reconstruction funds this will not be easy, in addition, the scars in the mind of the people who have had to live through this nightmare is not something that can be minimized.
I really have no idea how all this is going to progress, but I understand that it is not something that can see the end of it in a few days.

Exactly, I am not very positive either seeing the current situation and the result. In fact, I was hoping for a ceasefire a few days ago but I don't think it will happen. Whatever the propaganda is, this is only causing people to suffer. The death list is increasing, every day news is coming and I see the result of this big catastrophe. The unbearable torture, massacre, and massive destruction are not going to stop sooner... :( :(

It's certainly terrible, but from my limited source of information, I see it in a similar way to yours. Hopefully it's not as bad as the scenario I envision.

It might be, the news I have got today doesn't look good. There is a chance that the situation will get much worse than we could even imagine. My landlord called me and he informed me of some bad news...

I saw on the news and I think I heard that the city where you lived had suffered a new wave of bombings, that sounded terrible.

Yes, unfortunately right now we are all helpless...
