I have a friend in Kyiv. She received interview request from foreign media. She wrote back to the journalist the following this morning 👇

Thank you for your human interest and kind words.
Do not worry, it's not a critical mistake. I have no objections to the Russian language, the only objection is the horrible war and invasion of Russian murders.

Unfortunately, I can't join your program, as all my time and efforts are dedicated to protecting my people and my family. For example, a few days ago Russian officers killed my younger brother (a civilian, he just crossed the street to buy food).

My friends, 2 young girls were captured, tortured, raped, and killed. One of them was a brilliant doctor, another one was a scientist and had a Ph.D.

14 days as my morning starts not from coffee and Shakespeare poetry, not from amazing The Beatles but from dead bodies of our children around the streets.

We never forgive this theater of political hypocrisy, when the European nation is under genocide, the whole world can see this as an online show 24/7, and Western governments are so afraid about new Hitler that even did not close our sky from Russian bombs.

I'll put you in contact with my sisters in arms who joined the army and territorial defense units as volunteers and with girls whose husbands, brothers, dads, sisters, moms and friends are on the frontline.
I don't know what I can add here. They are killing us, right now.

I can't disclose the name of my friend, but have her permission to write all her words above. Her family is not aware yet of all tragedies.
