Ukraine
Hello, my friends, readers, and colleagues. I am sure that you – same as me – are upset about the current situation in Ukraine. I completely condemn this war of Russia against Ukraine. When I saw the photos of the situation in the newspaper, I got immediately shocked even more and also completely disgusted. Such massive destruction of those beautiful cities, is something unbelievable in the 21st century.
Many of us are now trying to help to the people of Ukraine in any possible way. Please do not give up and continue with your support. We all must be strong, even when we are not in Ukraine. This beautiful country is fighting also for our freedom.
Thank you and stay strong.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Note:
After one year of hiatus, I decided to create an account on Twitter and to give it a second chance. The reason is the current situation. Peace!
