I returned home from the hospital. I was greeted with the terrible news that fighting is taking place between Russia and Ukraine...

I don't want war. I always stand for negotiating peacefully... I am very sorry that the situation has become so tense that people are suffering, dying, worried and afraid...

I live in the south of Russia. In local villages they speak a dialect that is very close to the Ukrainian language. I have Ukrainian roots. I am very sorry that our peoples have been quarreling for several years now. I would like friendship with Ukraine, because we have so much in common...

I really hope that we will not be cut off from the whole world and that I will be able to continue drawing arts for you... And if they do cut us off, then I hope that I will at least have time to draw what is already on the list of debts
