aiAnd the war took my dad? No, he is alive and well, thank God. Lives in Russia and knows for sure that Ukrainians attacked themselves, bombed their cities. Why? Because the Nazis.
aiDad, I'm here in Kharkiv, I can see with my own eyes the tail of a rocket that broke off in front of my windows, a huge explosion from a bomb in the yard where my dog was walking, even tanks with your letters Z. This is your propaganda.
My dad is alive and well, thank God. Lives in Russia and knows for sure that Ukrainians attacked themselves.
aiWhat hurts is not that their brains are burned out by Putin's lies, but that trust between their own people has been lost. Throughout my childhood, my father insisted that family is the most important thing. And he respected this principle. He worked for the benefit of the family and took care of us. I have a very good dad, and my daughter has a good grandfather who helped raise her from diapers.
aiNow the grandfather's contact with the granddaughter is blocked. And I have too. Attempts to talk led only to quarrels. I did not manage to "reach" them. All my relatives in Russia simply fell to the bottom. And my own brother, who, by the way, was an officer in the Russian army in the past, wished me not to give in to emotions and find more common sense in everything. Maybe he will come to free me soon, because the mobilization in Russia continues.
aiAnd dad, this is my pain and guilt that I chose the easy way. "The easy way", what an irony.
