My own family fled Vilnius due the Russians (and Nazi's) and ended up half a world away...one wonders what it will take
to finally teach the soviets that their actions are reprehensible and will not be tolerated.

Excellent news, and wishing you all the best!

Great news Valery, I pray that you and your family will stay safe, and that the evil little pig in the Kremlin will get his just desserts sooner than later, and we can see an end to this horrible war.

Thanks a lot to all for your kind words.

Social atmosphere here, in Odessa, is much more comfortable. The only problem is a constant electricity on/off and as the result - heat in flats on/off.
Other that this all is more or less OK.
However all may become much worser if the Kremlin botox dwarf will continue to destroy the civilian critical infrastructure. In that case the only way out will be to go further west to a NATO countries.


Have read and seen many interesting post, but not much time to respond.
