When I am not in Kyiv I am in London. We have been there for more than a year and a half and when you talk to some older folk they remember the Blitz during World War 2. They gave it a name. Kyiv has the Blitz too, or the Blitz 2, and it is bigger and badder. Everyone here prays it will end, but with Europe being half asleep and with Trump siding with Putin, things are harder than ever for Ukraine. It is cruel and unfair, but having said that, I do not hear victims here. Just brave souls who love life.
