Tomorrow it will be a week since the war started in Ukraine. Someone is still calling it a military operation and I can't believe people can be so blind. People are dying in Ukraine, children are being born underground in subways or hospital basements, beautiful cities, people's houses and some historical landmarks are ruined.
I spent last week glued to news and my phone saying goodbyes to my family and friends in Kiev as soon as bombing started. I cried a lot lately. I started to notice blue and yellow colors (Ukrainian flag colors) everywhere and feel the support. We went to an anti-war rally this Sunday and it made me feel little better but the fact is, the war still continued. The "brotherly nations" concept used in Soviet Union will never be applied anymore to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. The horrific reality is here. That same people who claimed to remember the horrors of World War II are committing crimes against humanity right now. Shame on those who started it and for their supporters. I stand with Ukraine.
