Afternoon after the attack.
The Dnipro River is still frozen.
No heat, water, or electricity in homes.
But hope lives.
We have much to fight for and to live for.

Electricity is back.
I thought we wouldn’t see it for a few days after the night attack.
Glory to Ukrainian engineers.

Some people ask, ʼHow can I help? What do you need?ʼ
And one person just wrote, ʼI sent you this, this, and this.ʼ
That’s the point.
If you know a Ukrainian – don’t ask how to help. Just do it.
It’s not about me, of course.

Victory (still a cat) from Kyiv.
She stayed under the blanket for the 12 seconds I filmed 🙃
Maybe you need something good today.
We don’t have much good here – but this, yes.

The last two weeks felt like a year.
Two massive attacks that left Kyiv cold and dark.
We switched to survival mode.
I’ve just realized I hardly read or learned anything in these two weeks that felt like a year.
Wow.
Survival mode put my curiosity into a cave.

Midnight in Kyiv.
Today, the power outage lasted 18 hours straight.
I’m sitting through the last hour of electricity (we usually get four).
So many crazy things are happening in the world now.
People should protect peace, not start wars.

Greetings from Kyiv
I begin with gratitude.
After I wrote that some cancelled support during the night attack,
people from different countries joined or upgraded. Thank you!
Some told me to get a job or go to hell.
But my job is to tell the truth and educate about Ukraine.
I often do it from hell

Mit Verweis auf Bürgermeister Klitschko wird demnächst die Zahl kursieren, 600 000 Kyjiwer hätten die Stadt im Januar verlassen. Das hat meines Erachtens mit der Realität nichts zu tun. Es ist aufgrund der Umstände überraschend, aber eine bedeutende Ausreisewelle ist nicht zu beobachten.
