It was sarcasm 🙄
Do you really think that I’m so stupid to consider these talks productive?

I didn’t show it yesterday.
One Christmas tree per day 🙈

This beauty was also at the railway station, just on the other side.

Kyiv rocks.

As I passed by the Central Department Store today,
I decided to film its windows up close.

We all need a bit of a fairy tale.
Don’t blame us for needing it here, in Kyiv.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the holiday mood is in the air.
During the war?
Yes – especially during the war.

I’m having a warcoffee
and getting ready to write in my favourite magic bookstore.

At the Kyiv railway station –
a sculpture Volya by Oleksii Sai

Made from the damaged letters of a welcome sign in Liubymivka, a frontline village in Kherson region, occupied in March 2022 and liberated that October.

Volya means both freedom and will – a word that perfectly captures 🇺🇦 spirit.

Ukraine is more than the war –
I repeat it so often.

I’m grateful to everyone who wants to learn more about my dear country.

Today, one of my supporters wrote:
“It’s humbling that you have the time and energy to show us these things while putin is trying to destroy all it stands for.”

I felt deeply grateful.
I don’t hear this often.
Many forget where I create all of this.

Night-night from Kyiv.

Greetings from Kyiv!

On this last day of November, I want to thank everyone who supported my work this month –
who stayed,
who joined,
who upgraded,
who didn’t step away.

Thank you.

As always, here’s a short video to capture this month’s mood.

Let’s look at some Ukrainian art.

I went on a little art hunt today.
No, I won’t give russians even a chance to think they can break us.

Greetings from Kyiv.
Just a quick note for those who care.
We’re fine.
The view from the window is still the same, luckily.
A loud night of drones and missiles is over.

Sadly, there are casualties and damage in the city.

Explosions in Kyiv.
We’re under attack.

What else to say?
I charged everything,
edited photos – just in case I don’t get another chance (sorry, dark humour)
