Usually cars survive only for 2-3 months, so they should be as cheap as possible. And the demand is increasing while the donations drop dramatically. It seems that the world is losing interest in war in Ukraine. We must admit, it feels in some ways that UKRAINE IS LOSING RIGHT NOW, THOUGH IN LATE 2022 THEY WERE STILL ADVANCING and recapturing cities and land previously occupied by the russian invaders.
How can you find balance when a neighboring country is trying to destroy your country? When your hometown, where you were born and your sons were born, suffers from daily bombings (my hometown, Kharkiv, is located just 30 kilometers from the border with Russia). How can you protect your life and the lives of your loved ones? How can you ultimately not lose your SENSE of existence?
In Ukraine, young people are fighting on every front. Some serve in the trenches — defending the country with weapons. Others fight with memory, words, and culture — preserving stories of those who defied an empire in the past and making them speak volumes to the present.
It seems the Russians now seriously see themselves and the United States as allies: waving both Russian and “American” flags, they are storming Mala Tokmachka in eastern Ukraine. 🤦♂️ And all this—just a day after the loud, so-called “historic” talks between Trump and Putin in Alaska. But “historic” they were only for the Kremlin: Ukraine got nothing from those talks except open pressure from Washington to capitulate and surrender parts of our land.
In Alaska, Trump met with war criminal Putin. Official smiles, a red carpet — and no results. The world saw that peace was not achieved, but a new format emerged: peace on the aggressor’s terms.
Often, foreigners don't know how to behave or how to talk to me when they hear that I'm from Ukraine, from Kharkiv. They just say, “Oh, I'm so sorry.” And sometimes they ask, “How can I support you? How can I help?”
