What I haven’t figured out is how to exist under these escalating conditions outside a miserable loop of being ineffectively incandescent with emotion or else collapsed with overwhelm.
I know the only thing is “start where you are, use what you have, do what you can”

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It’s a pretty tough scene but I think it’s very important to remember that while those threats are both real and worrisome they are also bait.

It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.
