Yeah the parcel arrived, good news, also that Nick could stop by. So sorry to hear you are sick, I hope you can battle it.
CNN reported the Russian troupes stalling and regrouping in Kyiv. They think they wanna head to the Donbas region. But these days nothing that is said can be fully trusted. If they would pull back towards Belarus, it is said that UA army can counterstrike.
It is incredible how long you guys have to endure everything. Those who stayed and those who left. I wish for all of you that it ends soon, but to be honest, no ones life will be the same ever again. And the mental battle starts once it is over. Please watch out for you with this too. Survivors guilt can be ugly and it is not reasonable. Those who left are feeling it and it is a burden. Those who stayed feel it too, but it is not reasonable in any way. I can say, I faced survivors guilt, and forms of ptsd. But it's not about me right now.
Hang in there and stay strong! 🤗
Ukrainian people have been struggled for their own independent state for far too long. Our existence is at stake.
Looks like it.may not end soon. 😨 And we have to learn how to live this life, with bad news every day, with our fears, and shortage, and God only knows what else. I know that when it all over, it will not be over inside of each of us. And we will not return to previous life coz it's lost, for ever. But it's somewhere in future. I learn to focus on today, without expectations and plans. It's painful, but it is the way we can survive.
Understand. And you have it right. No sugarcoating because you are to survive. All of you. The person who haven't grasp what Ukraine means for the entire world is not the smartest period or poorly informed. It is hard to watch from outside. It is unbearable to see UA fighting for its life. To us it is heroic, to see Ukraine united and willing to walk the walk, but to you it is about not getting tired to survive.
