Natalia, Kyiv:
The 19th day of war. I want to think about the end of it. What will you do on the Day of our Victory? Where will you go? What will you buy?
I think I will order sushi in Egersund, buy some wine in Badboy and buy some light clothes, all mine are dark and gloomy.
Natalia, Kyiv:
I read that Gogol died after he had been buried, he wrote horror stories and was afraid of being buried alive. Goosebumps, brrr. Today they bombed Nezhyn, the town of his childhood, the new nightmare but in reality. All russian occupants are damned for centuries to come
Sofa, Mykolaiv:
I will see all my friends in Nikolaev and, sorry to be frank, I will drink a lot of alcohol with them !! I will go to my family and also meet them. Then I would like to go to Dnipro and meet my boyfriend.
Halyna, Poltava:
I’m in Poltava now. I went there from Kyiv in the first day of war. We try to help as much as we can our army and territorial defence as volunteers.
Also two days ago a family of my father’s colleague from Sumy needed our help with a temporary housing. So we help them.
Halyna, Poltava:
The situation in our town is quiet, but from time to time we hear air alarms. Today the period of danger lasted from 2 till almost 8 am. We couldn’t sleep, we had to hide in a shelter. Such night alarms are really difficult for me. However, I think, how about people in Sumy or Chernihiv for example. Their lives are broken. They need to go to another place to save their lives. Their situation is awful.
Dmytro, Ukraine:
Personally, I have an agreement with my friends to meet and have some beer because we haven’t seen each other for a long time.
At the same time, I think I will go to help on the construction site to rebuild our cities as fast as we can.
But still, there is a long way to our win and I think it is still a lot to do. We can’t be sure about what that idiot in Kremlin will do
Natalia, Kyiv:
No need to be offended by the Mask, now we need to use everything to our advantage, after the war we will figure out who and what and under what circumstances
Natalia, Kyiv:
The message from my friend from Vienna
I did Zoom with the kids today. Last night I gave each class a task.
Today I asked the children to rate their mood from 1-10
Only one girl rated it at 1, my mood is one of the lowest at 3, most have 5-7, one even has 8
Natalia, Kyiv:
There was such a parable about King Solomon and his ring, an inscription appeared on the ring all the time and told him something, once it appeared: everything will pass, and it will pass as well. I like it because it shows us if we want to succeed we must be literate, next everything will pass, and we win. And at last we should write our contemporary parables and myths. You see?
Valeria, Kyiv:
… agree that elderly people can make their own choice, while animals don’t. My grandparents said that they didn’t want to go somewhere far from home. “We have lived our lives, so we’re not scared” – they said to us. However, we gonna leave with them if something goes wrong (but I hope everything is going to be OK).
What about pets, we have two cats. And we know, that we will take them with us, ’cause they are our family. We cannot leave them alone. Moreover, they feel danger and we watch their reaction.
Valeria, Kyiv:
It was the fifth day of war. We were at home and listened to some noise. We didn’t understand was it a siren (’cause in my region it has a bad sound) or it was a dog. And when we heard a bark, we understood that this was a dog. Our neighbours from the 6th floor raised the alarm that the dog was locked in the flat alone. So my dad came to help. It took 3-4 hours to open it (the owners weren’t in Kyiv, so we phoned them to clarify the information and other details). Soon, we saved a dog (it was a puppy). One woman took him with her. And later it turned out that the dog’s owners went on the second day and locked him up at home! So the puppy was without water and feed at least two days. It was so a pity doggy. Owners left him alone. Of course, I don’t know their reasons, could they take him with them or not, but they shouldn’t leave him in a locked flat! Now the puppy is in order, he is well taken care of. We visit to play with him and take a walk on the street.
Valeria, Kyiv:
On the Day of our Victory, I’ll go for a walk with friends (it could be a library, and we could do it on the first weekend if it weren’t the war) and I’ll buy myself a big Kinder surprise
