TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS
If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubelskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.

I’ve marked those voivodeships on the map!
Please share because it can save lives!!!!!!

RUSSIA JUST DECLARED WAR TO UKRAINE
Kharkiv right now. Peaceful Ukrainian city.
Explotions all around Ukraine. Even in my small town in Central Ukraine.
I don’t know how many of us will survive this.
Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is under fire of our “dearest friends and brothers” russians.
You know, those russians who don’t want the war, but doing fucking nothing to protest against it. Doing nothing to stop it.
Это же не против домика для уточки протестовать, да? Х*хлов не настолько жалко, как себя. Всё, что вы пишете об этой войне - это то, как вы её не хотите и это всё политики. В танках едут не политики. Я понимаю, что вы в заложниках у диктатора. Я понимаю, что вам страшно выступать против его “политики”. Но вас никто не тянет за язык. Вы правда думаете, что матери, которая потеряла сына, или женщине, которая похоронила отца своих детей или даже своего маленького ребенка (как сегодня от российского обстрела в місті Чугуїв) стало легче от того, что вы такие все хорошие и либеральные не поддерживаете эту войну? Ноль эмпатии. Думаете только о себе, о своём имидже. О том, как вы выглядите в глазах общества. Как вас “несправедливо” осуждают.
Когда школьник из вашего Нового Уренгоя сказал про нацистов “они не хотели войны” - вы все его осудили. А сейчас говорите то же самое про себя. Есть такая вещь как преступное бездействие.
Откройте глаза. Украинцы умирают от российских снарядов. Просто за то, что мы украинцы. Хватит писать о том как вы не поддерживаете это, имейте хоть каплю стыда. Вы должны на коленях стоять перед народом України.
Я змушена була звернутися до вас російською, бо українську ви не розумієте, хоча як це, адже ж ми один народ…

Jesus fucking christ this shit gets old, Trump supporters are fucking idiots
Zelenskyy says the full withdrawal of Russian troops is the ‘bare minimum’ he will accept
Zelenskyy also accused Russia of committing genocide in Ukraine, calling it “the elimination of the whole nation.”
This American is thoroughly sick of reading about what Putin will and will not accept. I would much rather hear about Zelenskyy. Putin be damned.
KAL in The Economist
“Zelensky surrounds himself with a small assembly of journalists, lawyers, performers and self-help professionals, his war-time ‘pop-up government’, as Sergii Leshchenko, a former journalist, now a member of the presidential staff, labels it. […] It all comes across as a bit chaotic, and perhaps it is. And yet everyone seems to know what to do. They are getting on with the job, despite the constant threat of a bomb falling on them. They are doing their work without waiting for his sign-off. They are the power here. Zelensky, for his part, believes one man cannot and should not control everything. As the country looks for every way to defeat Russia on the battleground, that understanding – a belief in the power of individual people choosing to stand together as one – may turn out to be Ukraine’s saving grace.”

I am a kind, responsible, intelligent, honest, pretty, well-educated person. I am very energetic, so, it helps me to keep fit and slender. I am a merry and happy person. I think that my main character traits are that I always get a hold of myself and am ready-witted in any situation. Maybe that is why I am a very brave and sociable woman!)
Looking for… I would like my man be a real man, that can treat a woman like a lady. I would like him to be a kind, clever, real gentleman, nice to speak to, understanding and wise, with a sense of humor and easy going.

Today has been a terrible day in the World history.
I woke up to hear the news about the Russian invasion in Ukraine. But people in Ukraine wole up to the sound of explosions and sirens.
The situation has been bad for a long a while, but it really shocked me to watch the violent military actions that Putin has commanded.
The Ukrainian President Zalenskyy quotes: “Russia treacherously attacked our state in the morning, as Nazi Germany did in #2WW years. As of today, our countries are on different sides of world history. Russia has embarked on a path of evil, but Ukraine is defending itself & won’t give up its freedom no matter what Moscow thinks.”
—And this is so important, to keep fighting for freedom! —
I consider freedom and independence as a human right, unfortunately we take it for granted when we have it - but there are people out there fighting just to keep their own independent state.
And.. there are people right at this moment, who are escaping from military attacks, missils and armed solidiers.
We need to support these civilians, whose home and country are being bombed and ruined. Kids, elders, families who can’t be safe in their own home.
This is the Ukraine National Embled and the Ukraine Flag in different editions.
These are the first 2 items I made exclusive, because I want to donate the money I get from it to the Ukraine people, who at the moment are refugees, forced to seek safety beyond borders. Every single penny will be donated and I will put in one dollar myself for each donation.
If you just want to support Ukraine, and show that you care about the Ukraine People, please just share this post so as many as possible will be aware of the horrible situation.
All my thoughts are with the Ukraine, I support you, I stand with you

Слава Україні!
My dear kittens and puppies, it might be my last post. But I do hope it’s not and I’ll come back to all of you. The situation right now is difficult. There’s no way now for me or my family to leave the country. My brother Victor was working in UK when the war started, we have no opportunity for now to meet or help each other. Bridges are ruined, Russia is firing by civil evacuating cars, trains, hospitals, houses, people. Yes. Everything’s burning. But we won’t give up! In my city already formed defense among militaries and civils. I’m staying with them. I never wanted war. I never wanted to kill Russians or anybody, I never wanted to make anyone suffer. But I will defense my home.
Thank to all of you! For your support, care, prays, thoughts about us. We had good time here in our safe Sims place. It was the best time. And let’s pray to meet up again.

Россияне! Если вы ещё фоловите мой блог, моя убедительная просьба - НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ Путину, НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ своему СМИ. Они вам лгут! Когда вы боролись за weddingsforeussia вы просили западных симмеров верить вам, тем людям, которые живут в России и лучше знают законы своей страны. Я прошу вас о том же, верьте нам, украинцам. Тем людям, которые прямо сейчас под обстрелом российских оккупантов. Именно так, оккупантов! Нет и никогда не было в Украине никаких фашистов против русского населения! Верьте мне! Я здесь родился и вырос, я - украинец. Я постоянно общался с русскими симмерами, я поддерживал их когда ЕА собиралась не выпускать на территории РФ последний набор. Я никогда не имел ненависти против какой-либо нации, расы, веры И я не один. Я отражаю настроение всей страны. Я повторяю, все, что вы видели, слышали или знали о “фашистах в Украине” это жирный и наглый фейк! Все, что вы видите по своим СМИ про войну России против Украины - ложь! Я не желаю Северной Кореи для России и я надеюсь у вас, русских, будет достаточно смелости и силы победить тоталитаризм!

Українці,@its-adrienpastel, якщо ти живий (Боже, я дуже сподіваюся що ти живий!) це наша земля. Я розумію, ніхто з нас не був готовий до збройного конфлікту. Я ніколи в житті не бачив та не тримав реальної зброї. Але такі часи, ми маємо допомоги тим супер-людям що зараз стримують натиск ворога. Ми не можемо бігти, тож нам залишається лише одне - битися та допомогати бійцям! Чим можна. Якщо дуже страшно - то не заважати нашим захисникам працювати, чекати та молитися у бомбосховищах, домівках. Я залишаюсь у Кривому Розі. Якщо почнуться відкриті бої я зроблю все можливе аби Україна вистояла. Боже, нехай вона вистоїть! Бо іншої нема.
З любов'ю до вас всіх, кошенятки та цуцики,
Ваш полтергейст,
Женя
The map offers an educated guess as to the probable Russian strategy in the ground war. A multi pronged drive toward Kyiv and the western border aiming for the wholesale destruction of Ukraine as a state. With 130,000 soldiers. Too few for the task, too large an obstacle to bite. Russian air power will probably aim for civilian terror as this is what it’s good at. It hasn’t fought an air war with an equal force since WW2 so who knows what happens here? Odds are good the Russians shellack Ukraine and then the greatest nemesis of Russian tanks is their own Air Force like in recent US campaigns.
130,000 troops is too few to occupy Ukraine and even a few urban battles will turn this into Grozny on a grander scale.
