Fortunately it hasn't been raining for a while (bar some light rain and drizzle the other day, at least in the Kharkiv-Izium-Kram corridor).

A short clip from when it wasn't even at its worst.

That's foolish, but it's OK. You never donated anything to Ukraine anyway, right?

Meningen är att man ska kunna köra ifrån drönarna... och så pass fort att de har svårt att träffa om de kommer framifrån.

To be honest you'll find vatnik vibes in Norway too. Including schools. A gymnasium near my office has a teacher of social studies who basically is a Russian propagandist in his free time. And an internet troll of the first degree.

I think you misinterpreted the uh, btw... det är lugnt!

Not only that... I used to be THE finlandssvensk professor of geography in Helsinki.

Mielenkintoista, but what surprises me is that finlandssvensk school would have vatnik vibes. Why would that differ from a Finnish one? I mean, as to the Russian one it's kind of clear, of course.

UH, we're talking ab Finland here.

The Swedish ones tend to have these problems too, or is this case by chance?

Yes, indeed. It just feels so tragic.

Kharkiv: the moonlit metropolis. I had never seen anything quite like this before. And I've been here many times, just never been outside under these particular conditions. 2/

Fact is, the town is clearly located more than 10 km from the frontline - if one is to believe the DeepState or ISW maps. So unless the maps are wrong, this would seem to be a way of ensuring that evacuation takes place with some margin. 3/

The city of Druzhkivka recently introduced the 15-11 curfew, meaning you are only allowed to be outdoors for 4 hours a day. In practice, that means the town is doomed (evacuation inevitable), which is likely the intention. 2/

Cheers! Hopefully someone will publish it...

By the way, happened to finish reading your book while in Lviv.
