I’m staying in Ternopil city. It’s safe here. No fights or bombarding. But there could be some saboteurs to provoke actions. We hear a siren several times a day, which sends us running to the shelter.
I’m shocked and scared. I still can’t believe the war is happening right now. I really don’t know what to do next – that’s why I’m frustrated. I may lose everything I’ve been working for. I’m looking for answers. But right now I’m thinking about how to protect myself and my family and friends.
How could this be possible in the 21st century?! Is it a nightmare? Will it disappear when I wake up?
Russia didn’t have any right to cross the Ukrainian border and do “demilitarization,” no matter what conflicts they are solving with NATO. Ukrainians I know, family, friends and myself – we didn’t ask them to rescue us. We are proud of our country, of the direction we chose, and we understand all the problems that we have in Ukraine. But we don’t need any Russian protection. At the same time, I’m disappointed in Europe, NATO, the USA and the UK. They didn’t protect us according to the Budapest Memorandum. We gave up our nuclear weapons so that we could be protected by the USA and the UK.
Your government should stop Putin today. How? Make a diplomatic agreement with real sanctions, not words. Stop working with Russia. This country should be cut out from the world from all directions and should not have the ability to continue the war. They should understand the consequences of their actions. If our government asks for help, send us your troops and weapons to protect ourselves and deactivate the enemy on our territory.
There are too many lies in US news. Photos and videos are taken from previous wars and events. Use only facts and actual content. Ask why NATO, the US, and Europe why they are doing nothing.
It’s not a Ukrainian war. It’s a Russia – NATO war. Putin’s decision to launch an invasion of Ukraine should be allowed to happen without real consequences. No country should have any business with Russia after what he did.
