About Ukraine from a Ukrainian
Little by little the joyful voices predicting "the end of Putin",defeat of the 🇷🇺 army, etc.,are dying down, and this is pleasing.Although,in general, news about Ukraine tends to fade away and there is no tragedy in this - just the truth of life 1/
31
The Chief of General Staff has asked all bloggers and influencers to "shut up" so you're unlikely would hear any definitive news until at least tomorrow. And tomorrow you definitely wouldn’t hear that Kherson is surrounded or liberated. And that’s totally ok.

A phone call from unknown number:
- Can you please help?…
So…
We just bring 100 kilo of cat food to a animal shelter in Kyiv. I can’t believe it’s actually happening, but I’m so proud of our people. Another reason to keep fighting.

No light. No gas. And it’s only beginning, cause on Saturday it will -6* in Kyiv. We are talking about dozen millions (!!!) of civilian people and the World who is still afraid to admit that this is pure genocide against Ukrainians. This winter will be tough.

So? Who’s here? I know about UK, US, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Australia. Who else?
In regular life I used to travel, so need to create a new route for future adventures.

What is happening under Bakhmut just blows my mind. You may have seen it in WWII movies, but when it happens to your friends, to your former unit… to people you know and who text you the names of those who killed last 24H. And this is just the beginning
40
My 2 months duty around Bakhmut is over. It was a very interesting time full of adventures and activities. Thanks to the commander I have one free evening and I spent it on dinner in the style of the Apulian region.
41
While I was writing, the meat has just finished roasting, and the boys and I will celebrate another day to the sound of cannonades 14/
42
No details,but we are actively preparing for a massive attack on the North and the joining of 🇧🇾 troops to hostilities.Everything is very serious so when I reading the positive forecasts of Western experts and medias,I get the feeling that we exist in slightly different realities
43
So I found out that you folks doesn’t know how Russians call you. So now you know. And even those who lives in your county doing this. Actually they using this slur on popular TV show as well.

I’m more than alive and had a chance to left a forest and share a dinner with one pretty strange dude who looks like Santa but wearing an orange hat. How are you, people? What’s going on in outside world?
47
We went towards enemy position,flew over them with drone,but on the way back we were fired with mortars and anti-tank guns.Apparently we were being watched.Anyway - everyone is alive and well.We lay for an hour in the woods,ran a little.I want to say…do your daily exercises!!!
48
On the very first day of protests on the Maidan, a grenade flew into my head. I saw dozens of people maimed by the police. My best friend was shot in a leg with a shotgun. Now when I reading Western journalists justifying the russian cowards and I want to laugh.

Good night, beautiful people. Sun will rise tomorrow again.

I think the main thing is that we really feel support at the level of ordinary people. And this feeling, especially for civilians, it is that saving "shore" on which hope can lean. So thank you to all of you who build bonfires on the shore to give us direction in the storm.
