Despite Russia's previous invasion of Crimea (Ukraine), in 2014 if I remember correctly, I don't think many people would have expected Putin to unleash a war of conquest and annexation of territory. That caught quite a few people by surprise.
Again annexation happened and this time 4 cities... I often wonder why? What is the purpose of this war? I don't have answers. I started looking at everything deeply and trying to understand the Ukraine situation as much as possible but in the end, I hope for peace.
I remember what you shared from the days in the basement and it was kind of creepy. I was always happy that you took your pet with you and that you managed to get it out of that hell with you, even though there were people who tried to force you to abandon it.
I wish you that everything gets better and you can find a way forward.
I am doing good, but sometimes I feel emotional and overwhelmed thinking about life, the future, and reality. I guess this emotion will be staying with me always, it makes me sad. Right now in Kharkiv, there is no life, no job. I don't know how people are living there but 60% of people left the city already. The city is under continuous shelling every day and I know I would never survive till now if I stayed there. Sooner or later I had to leave.
I can't even imagine how that 40% that stayed in Kharkiv survives.
Despite the bad things, it was good that you left when you did, but it does hurt to leave everything that took years of work.
Me too and I am still connected with some and knowing their lifestyle breaks my heart. It's really horrible, especially at night.
I will be fine eventually and I know that...
As if the problems were not enough, I see today in the news that the Russian bombing of #Kharkiv is intensifying again. I really think you made a difficult decision, but it was the best decision considering things as they are.
Kharkiv is now a hotlist, everyday continuous bombing, and shelling are happening, unfortunately...
Probably yes because I couldn't stay alone in that situation...
