Greetings from Kyiv
and our -14 °C.

If you wonder how it is here:
cold in the apartment,
and for the last few days, I’ve seen electricity only at night for 3-4 hours.

I’m having a second cup of warcoffee
and know that nobody helps us.
We will survive. Promise 😉

"This is the coldest winter I've ever known in this flat. Because of the cold, the blackouts, and the constant attacks, it's simply unlivable," said Anna Diachenko, 28, who left the building a few days ago after the mass attack. She's now staying with friends.

Kyiv. It is currently minus 15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit). Just imagine what the temperature is like in these concrete houses without heating, and how people sleep in them. Currently, 471 buildings in the city are without heating.

🎄 I put up a Xmas tree yesterday: lights, baubles… but no illusions.

Peace doesn’t come from wishes or carols. It comes from stopping those who bomb civilians & erase borders.

If you want your Christmas to mean something this year, help Ukraine keep fighting.

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to see the encircled troops. Instead he got a visit from Zelenskyy who showed up to dismiss that claim. Ukraine went on the offensive cutting off Russians supply lines, killing 900 in 48 hours. #slavaukraini

The mineral wealth of Ukraine belongs to the Ukrainian people. It doesn’t belong to the Putin-Kremlin crime syndicate or the Trump money-laundering branch of it.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’ve just listened to Zelenskyy’s address to the Ukrainian people.
My opinion?

This man knows what is right.
Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the current US administration.
Zelenskyy made it clear: he wants a decent peace. We all do.

Decent peace is not capitulation.

Maybe someday you’ll read this.

Es ist schwer, immer neue Worte dafür zu finden, aber es war wieder eine schreckliche Nacht hier in der Ukraine und in Kyjiw mit Toten, Dutzenden von Verletzten und Zerstörungen in den meisten Stadtteilen der Hauptstadt. Russlands Interesse am Kriegsende wurde wieder unterstrichen.

Greetings from Kyiv.

It was a night when I sometimes felt that a buzzing drone
or an explosion
could end everything.

The city woke up with damage and casualties.
I need a warcoffee.

In the 1930s, Soviets destroyed St Michael’s Golden-Domed Cathedral (12th century) in Kyiv.

Before the destruction, Ukrainian restorers saved parts of its frescoes and mosaics.
Some were moved to St. Sophia Cathedral.

I saw them and want to show you.

Mit mindestens 14 Toten eine der tödlichsten Nächte hier in Kyjiw in diesem Krieg gewesen. Und auch eine der lautesten. Vielmehr als Terror, um die Bevölkerung zu zermürben ist das seitens Russlands nicht. Ein gewisser US-Präsident wird dies aber leider nicht kapieren wollen.
