I’ve been in Ukraine for 2 weeks. I am doing volunteering work, every day since I arrived, in 4 different locations doing 3 kind of volunteering work. I talked on my blog Why I’m back in Ukraine and also about the biggest russian attack since the war started, with 238 missiles and drones, which I […]
Kryivka is a restaurant in central Lviv which is hard to locate and for which you need a password to be allowed in. As one can imagine, it is a very popular place. After one identifies the entrance, which is in Rynok Square, close to the Town Hall, one needs the password. The password is, […]
Today it was one of the biggest russian attacks. In my post Why I’m back in Ukraine I wrote that a country-wide attack will happen. My prediction was for the night between 23 and 24. In Ukraine 23 August is Flag Day and 24 August is Independence Day. I was wrong, but also Modi was […]

The entry fee is cheap and there were three exhibitions. I will share a couple of highlights from each one. Yaroslav Kostko is a young artist, in […]

The differences between russia vs Ukraine in a few videos & pictures. I’ve decided to use a meme as the picture for this post because it’s both funny and accurate. Ukrainian troops crossed the border into russian territory and are having great success there. While we can’t know the aims of this operation, we can […]
During the communist period we, Romanians, saw America as a beacon of hope, something to aspire to. After WWII many were expecting the Americans to come back and help liberate us from the russians. There were russian troops in Romania for years after WWII ended, had road blocks and so on. Even so, collectively we […]
I mentioned in the round-up from last month that I’ve started language classes and today I’m talking on why I am learning Ukrainian. First of all, me starting last month was not a coincidence. I wanted to learn Ukrainian, but because I had other things in mind, I decided that the right moment is now, […]
