Are you leaving Ukraine itself or just crossing the line out of Kherson? Either way my thoughts and hopes go with you.
For now I'd better stay in my country and try to help as much as I can.
I will consider to leave Ukraine only in the worst case which, I hope will not realized.


BTW. My 5-th take has failed again. We have reached the front line and then 20-30min later we have heard
a lot of loud explosions - this was our artillery work. So, the corridor wasn't open today and have to go back.

Thanks to all of you who support us.

The Ukrainian people’s resolve is high. Russia should remember Afghanistan whose people continued to fight for years after being fully occupied. In part it’s what broke the Soviet Union!!

Stay strong Valery!

You know that I wish you success, and soon!
It’s impossible for me to grasp how difficult this is for you, but keep trying and, at some point, you will make it through.

Hi everyone.
As you all know, Kherson is finally liberated. I contacted Valery, and he is safe now. But there are still very serious problems with electricity, mobile communication etc.
With the best wishes, Oleksandr.
