Hello. All of you are probably already aware of the events taking place between Ukraine and Russia.

I would like to comment on this.

I was born in Russia, in a city not far from the border with Ukraine. My father is a Ukrainian who moved to Russia after marrying my mother. Almost all of my childhood was spent in a small village in Ukraine, together with my beloved grandparents, who left me a long time ago. Ukrainian is my second language. I have relatives and a bunch of friends from Ukraine with whom I keep in touch.

And what is happening now literally breaks my heart. For the past three days I have been unable to calm down and all I do is cry. I hate our politics with all my heart and will never put up with it. every night I go to sleep and wake up terrified, not knowing what the next day will bring.

Our state does not want to hear the voice of its people, but we are trying. We go to the streets, we protest.

We never wanted this war.

And I really hope that Ukraine will one day be able to forgive us.

P.S. for all of my commissioners - I will draw your YCH as soon as possible, starting today. I am sorry for long waiting.
