THE “GAME” CONTINUES

Our news in a short brief: March 19-21, 2022, Kyiv

First of all, I want to say that everything is fine with us and we are not giving up. Your support and prayers protect us from the horror that is around.

The last days were very emotional and I was very tired. In addition, I was very disappointed with the low deeds of some people who had previously said that they wanted to help us.

Last Saturday I have taken a lot of time to make excuses for things I didn't do. I did not think that there would be people who would want to capitalize on our tragedy. I'll talk about this in a separate post.

However, once again I inform everyone that I do not ask for any money and do not collect it for the inhabitants of Ukraine. It was only on my personal page that a fundraiser was organized to buy cages to take Roxy and Corrie out. I do not have access to this money. Please be careful with any offers to help me. There are already a lot of scammers around our history.

Yesterday was the heaviest shelling of all time and we even went back to the basement again. That day I felt a very strong blast wave. The couch I was sitting on moved back five inches. Dozens of car alarms went off at the same time. Roxy was also very scared and flew to me. She was just playing in the closet.

We're almost out of toys, but Roxy loves tearing paper and chewing on bottle caps. The past week has been very strange. We live in an information vacuum. I have no television (after the TV tower was damaged), and there is practically no information on the Internet about the situation at the front.

Unfortunately, the Russians still entered my cottage town. They were there the next day, after they carried out a massacre in a neighboring town. In our town everything was more civilized. My neighbors gave the soldiers everything they wanted and they were let out of the town. Everybody is alive. They were given the opportunity to leave for Kyiv, but not all of them got there yet. It's only 19 km, but they've been on the road for two days. Perhaps today they will be in Kyiv.

Roxy has been very nervous all these days. I give her chamomile tea and drink it with her. I need to calm down too. I'm trying to do something, but the performance is very low.

Because of the fires, for several days we were not recommended to open the windows and go outside. Now, too, I feel the smell of burning, which penetrates even through closed windows.

I write down the events of each day in detail for my book. I study informational materials that I find on the Internet and my friends send me. I communicate with many people who tell their stories.

I noted that many were already depressed and became very aggressive. Many of my friends are isolated and do not want to communicate.

However, I feel good thanks to my association with you. I don't know how I would have survived all this horror without your support and prayers. We stay connected. I send love to everyone. XoXo
