Odesa.
The sea, the fun, expensive restaurants full of people, air raid sirens and booms all night long, every night.

If you think you will sit this war out and nothing is going to happen to you of what Russia is doing to Ukraine every day, you are profoundly mistaken.
And if Ukraine falls and you get to be the next on Russia’s way, it will be too late to scratch your heads about how it ended up this way.

Former Ukrainian POW Oleksandr Strafun:
From the moment of his release from Russian captivity in June 2025 — to just 2.5 months later, surrounded by love, proper medical care, and the support of his fiancée (now wife) Olena.
This is what happens when life and love win and when it’s Ukraine 🇺🇦

Meanwhile in 1992:
The tempo of Russia's 'de-militarization of Ukraine' three and a half years into the full-scale war is so impressive that Ukraine is now particularly producing and using its own newly designed longer-range cruise missiles.

What did you guys think about my first book?
Honest opinions only.
The second one is already in the publisher's hands - and I must say it ends up being waaaaaaaay beyond my own expectations this time around... six months of working 12 hours a day without days off.

Thank you, guys.
I've just sent UAH 100,000 from your birthday donations to Mykhailo Sobko, a drone operator who lost his legs in combat.
We just made him less than $1,000 from reaching his goal of getting his prosthetic care and eventually getting back to a fulfilling life after the war.

Meh... happy birthday to me, I guess.
Since Vladimir "The Dickhead" Putin absolutely ruined my 30th birthday in 2022, I turn 29 years and 36 months old.
The best present now is a donation to Ukraine's military and disabled Ukrainian veterans.
