Kyiv, April 24, 2025,

Dear readers,

Last night, we survived one of the worst attacks on Kyiv: 215 missiles and drones were unleashed on the city and across Ukraine. Dima [Sasha's partner] and I hardly slept, but luckily, Marian [their baby] slept in my arms without waking up. We heard at least 20 very loud explosions. For now, the toll stands at at least 12 dead and dozens injured. The russians [Olga and Sasha have chosen not to capitalize "Putin," "Russian" and "Russia"], emboldened by Trump's support, are exerting pressure on Ukraine. As usual, death and destruction are their only tools. Who could have thought that russia's new allies in this war would be the United States?

In any case, if you were wondering whether the war is still ongoing despite the "peace" negotiations between the Americans and the russians, there's your answer. The bombings of cities and civilians are fiercer than ever. On April 4 in Kryvy Rih, in central Ukraine, a missile targeted a playground: Over 20 dead, including nine children, and 75 injured, including 12 children. Mutilated bodies, arms, legs, heads scattered. For days, I felt heartbroken by this atrocity. Seeing those little coffins and the parents of those children filled me with dread. As for the global reaction? Silence.

Two days later, Trump merely said he "didn't like the bombings." Oh really? On days like this, I'm convinced that the russians will never take responsibility for their war crimes, because they know no one can condemn them. I feel like screaming out of helplessness at the top of my lungs. On April 13, Palm Sunday, the center of Sumy, in the northeast of the country, was bombed by a long-range missile. It was 10 am, the time when families flock to church to celebrate one of the greatest Christian holidays: 35 dead, 127 injured. Moreover, the missile was loaded with incendiary explosives to kill more, always more.
