From my host mom:

Hello, Misha!
We are back to normal in Kyiv. The situation is calm and traffic is running smoothly. There were some problems with the withdrawal of cash from ATMs, but now everything is fine. The situation near the borders of Ukraine and in Crimea is very tense. The fact is that Russian troops were pulled to the eastern border of Ukraine and we are at any minute expecting an attack. We announced the mobilization and many people volunteered and enlisted in the Army.

The truth today is that under the influence of the US and the EU, Putin gave the order to withdraw the troops from the eastern borders of Ukraine. It is true that the situation remains very difficult in the Crimea.

There are many Russian soldiers and they strongly provoke our soldiers. They want to make our Ukrainian soldiers use their weapons. This will give them an excuse to start a war, but our soldiers do not yield or give in to provocations. We feel strong support from the EU and especially the United States. You are the only ones who fear Putin :)

Thank you for your support, we feel that we are not alone in our fight against Russia.

PS. When the situation in Ukraine is stable, we will be waiting for a visit.
