Kyiv.
These two young men spoke English and were enjoying the views today.
Not sure if they were tourists, most likely volunteers.

Anyway, join them and enjoy the view.

Look at this proud beauty.
St Andrew’s Church in Kyiv.

Built between 1747 and 1762 in the Baroque style, designed by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli.

Filmed today.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’m having a warcoffee and reading updates about Kharkiv.
Ten people have already been killed in the night attack.

The life I see through the window and the tragedy I read about in the news seem to blend into a wild dance.

07.03.2026 14:22 πŸ‘ 403 πŸ” 74 πŸ’¬ 17 πŸ“Œ 4

Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack.
Very loud explosions.
Deep night.

Nothing new, but the sounds are still awful.

It’s a record player and the handwritten score of Autumn Fantasy (1914) by Borys Lyatoshynsky (1894–1968), a prominent Ukrainian composer.

Seen today at the β€œCultural Suitcase” exhibition at Kyiv railway station.

It’s Kyiv.
A path I often take to a cafΓ© for warcoffee.

A modern, beautiful city with a rich history that russia wants to take and will never succeed.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I came to the railway station to visit an exhibition β€” and instead saw this:
a concert by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Wow. I want you to hear this.

A quick reminder: a live talk from Kyiv with my supporters starts in 30 minutes (10 pm Kyiv time).

I’ll answer questions in real time and will be glad to welcome you.

I may tell you something strange.
I feel very calm these days,
while the world seems to be going mad.

We’ve seen a lot in Ukraine over the past four years:
attacks, sleepless nights, no electricity, water or heating…

Ukraine is ready for anything. And I believe our experience can help others.

Yes, but I cannot post all the photos here. Maximum 4. Instagram is good for this (for me at least)

I don’t know if you have Instagram.

From time to time (rarely) I post some photos and videos there.

Maybe one day it will become a small archive of my visual work. We will see.

Today I added a few from Kyiv Pechersk Lavra

Oh, it is a nearby cafe in the mall, Cathy. I am a frequent visitor here.

Greetings from Kyiv
and warcoffee.

It’s a little colder today.
Calm.
Cloudy.
With snow leftovers on the ground.

Just a beautiful moment from today (at least to me).
There’s still a trace of snow left in Kyiv.

The world feels like it’s descending into darkness.
I don’t deny it.
I choose to look for the light.

I’ve noticed something unsettling these past days – more people have been cancelling their support.

Perhaps it reflects the difficult situation in the world overall.
I don’t blame anyone.

I’m simply grateful to those who stay with me and help me speak about Ukraine.

In my diary I came to conclusion that this confusion made me create a new phrase πŸ˜‰ Going to use it.
