from a Ukrainian reader:
Dear Mr. Filson,
Again and again, thank you for all your work to raise awareness about the the horrors and war crimes that are being committed in Ukraine.
As I write this to you, me and my family are driving to Kyiv after crossing Moldovan border this morning….Very mixed feelings after last night’s attack, but I want to be with my people, show support and just feel the power of my land, the unbreakable spirit of our nation, same as during the Maidan in 2013. . .
Praying for God’s protection over us and for wisdom to those who can change something.
PS: please note the correct spelling of Ukrainian capital is Kyiv.
Kiev is a transliteration from russian language.
Warm regards,
Nadiia
