Hey, it’s Anastasia :)

I keep forgetting my thoughts are not obvious to you xD Here I wanted to tell you what ideas I had before war

So, basically, I was ALREADY scared, because I saw how young people wanted and actually were leaving my home country. I was already frustrated about that fact and any Ukrainian friend would proof that I never wanted to leave Ukraine.
Basically, I planned to stay in Ukraine, raise my children there and show my surroundings that life in Ukraine might be good too ;)

So, since I lived in a city, where all the people spoke Russian(not Ukrainian), I also thought It was necessary to keep talking in Ukrainian and teach my future children that language

I planned to start traveling around Ukraine this spring. Haha..
Well, I actually saw Lviv, but only for an hour or less Q^Q

Also, before the war started, I thought that Ukrainians and Russians were brothers. Now I don’t think so, to me, I lost my illusions forever. If someone is powerful, violent and is in a situation, when they can demonstrate the darkest motives of their nature, with impunity, - they will. When their victim is naive and trusting, not expecting anything; and no one is watching - they would take out a knife. Any time, every time. And we, Ukrainians, will still believe they’re good, deep inside our soul. No matter what we say, no matter what we do to protect us, we still fukking empathize for every Russian, because we are humans with empathy.

Right now.. well, my friends say that I couldn’t help my country staying there, I did nothing wrong. Idk, I never wanted to leave Ukraine. Until I realized what really was happening



A lot of my friends are staying in Ukraine right now, is one of them
