War in Ukraine and update
3 years ago
There has been so many things I wanted to say... But I will try to keep it short.
My country, my beautiful Ukraine, got invaded by Russian government after 8 years of conflict escalation. For most of people it's a surprise, I sadly feared this day may come eventually. But I did not expected the scale.
When things become heated, my boyfriend invited me in Czech republic and I took an exhausting 2 days of travel. 20 hours on a train, then almost 17 on the bus. And just when Poland allowed us to transfer, within few hours I've learned of invasion, when most cities got bombed.
I left on a very last moment with only 50 euro in my pockets.
Currently, I am safe with my boyfriend, but my eyes are all red from crying because all my family is behind. I couldn't bring them with me. So right now all I can do is work hard an pray for their safety. Both of my little niece parents are in military and I currently have no contacts with my brother. I am scared, pained, but I don't allow hysteria to overcome.
I need some time to regain my mental and physical energy.
Please, if you can, support those Ukrainian artists you follow. And do not send hate to Russian ones.

I'm glad to hear you are safe though. This happening is just really sad and it really won't end well for anyone...
В России все мои друзья бояться и льют слезы так, словно мы там, с вами, под пулями и ракетами, в том числе и я.
У меня нет родственников или друзей в Украине, но есть друзья, которые рядом, и даже они не в безопасности, их окрестности также подвергаются атакам.
Ужасное время... всем нам моральных и физических сил(

Do you want to be listed? You mentioned being from Zaporozhye.
The lists of FA members from Kharkiv, Donbas, and Southern Ukraine will make it easier for people to Watch each other and help with promotion or 'signal boosts' when someone is in trouble or a newer member needs attention. I am also hoping that some of the people in the safer western and central regions of Ukraine will take an interest in helping those in/from places like Kharkiv and the Donbas, as well as the 'front line' cities in the southern region, even if the only help some people can provide is 'signal boosts' or writing kind Comments of support.
I would love to find more of fellow FA members from my region.
