a war of aggression. in the middle of europe. the british middle, i fled to the 1st best country, so i wouldn't have to go to jail or be sent to war. i don't want to fight against the ukrainians. i have many friends there, but the 1st best country as stanislaus sat was latvia, and you, you member state with a 300 kilometer common border with russia. when the war started to more than 10 months ago, stun his love decided to prove the former policeman found himself in the midst of a peace rally in saint petersburg where hundreds of protesters were arrested. but when the 27 year old received a draft notice from the army, he decided to flee over night without losing any time he drove to russia's boda with lots of air to jump over the fence at an unwanted torrent location illegally because he had no visa them yet, but m no orders for us to d kimball bicycle. it was terrible. i was panicking. my heart was pounding. i was

running through the forest and wondering what if the guards shoot me? the fence was huge with barbed wire. and on the other side there were border guards as well, with whose language i don't understand. i had no idea how they would react to get them. or can you tell us been that the officials in latvia were accommodating at 1st. they let him file for asylum. but a few months later, his request was denied. stanislaus went to court and fall to the decision in the and he was allowed to stay. a rare ruling fall latiere in contrast to germany. the baltic states generally denies russians fleeing military service that the right to spain. the mobilization in russia, which began in september of last year, had little influence on that policy due to security concerns. this russia poster courtesy just read it. if you are against the war against mobilization, if you think that what is being done now is unacceptable,

then you must come out against the russian government. and i am not convinced by arguments that things are so oppressive there that no one can take to the streets, stanislaus, but she'll of doesn't think that taken to the streets in 2 days. russia can't change anything. for him, protests are of the direct way to prison, and maybe after that to the front lines, all legitimate parts of resistance have been exhausted. people who protest end up behind bars. stanislaus says he would go back to russia one day went, putting his not in power any more. his parents lived there, stanislaus missus of them, he says, but he knows he will not see them any time soon. ah, russia's attacks anew. crane's power grad have forced many cities to conserve energy. st and traffic lights are even being turned off in the capitol

during the deed, despite the war, the ukrainian capital can look and feel quite normal. but as night falls key if slips into almost darkness. streetlights are off and at many crossings, traffic lights as well. the dark mix, a downright risky for those on the streets, booked on wilkes, put a foot delivery service in keith, taking orders to customers around the city. go few isn't until 11 pm. so much of his work is in the inky dock. what they call the stella washer work has become much tougher because of the lack of light. this is futile. it's hard to ride in the dark, oscar, and if a person doesn't have reflectors in,

i just can't see them so sure. why did you have to be careful because they could be people on the street? it's only that the kids are booking and there are potholes and open drains, which you could fall into their mortgage, their motor, both the yamazik with their for their shorter booth, with goofy look. a month ago, walked on, had an accident. when he hit a globe in the dark, he smashed all the reflectors on his bicycle. every one here has a story about the dock holding the bus bush near to really dangerous. i'm wondering how i can cross the road to the other side, but shall i go farther and look for a proper crossing? or should i follow another person? so we're in a group pharmacy bar, i bought a glow, stick color for my dog because i can't seem when there's no light in the park. it's very convenient or yeah, all of them love what it was doc at the crossing a movie for people approach me and punch me in the nose and snatch my phones from my pocket. well the, the wall above telephone was a brawley. but living in the city shrouded in darkness can also habits of sights

or older, remain unvaccinated. and those who have gotten jap generally have had a domestically developed cove shot. as hong kong has lifted most of his cove at restrictions and prepares to fully open his board over mainland china. concern over an influx of infections is growing. for almost 3 years. she has spent most of her time at home, missus will barely left her neighbourhood and cut off nearly all her social contacts to avoid infection for you. it's my freedom to choose not to get the jab. i don't blame any one if i contract the virus. removals, however, now may not be the best moment for her to noah. her god, hong kong is raising itself for an auto search off the corona virus. norway is one of the major fishing nations in europe. catching fish was long considered a man's job. but that's changing because more and more women are heading out to sea
