It seems that our Minister of National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshev didn't return back from his business-trip to Austria because of possible indictment in crimes in case of return. Will he submit an application for asylum in EU?

The photo gallery reminds me of this day in 2016 when I participated in the KyivPride (March of Equality).

Actually, this horrible night is a clear example of what I raised yesterday – de facto illusion of internal locus of control. I felt asleep in my bed, but in an hour after had to move to WC where spent the rest of night, because of Russian missiles and drones. We do not control our lives. 1/10
