monday. well just a moment ago. yes, it was a thursday. it, when we heard about the tragic events unfolding in ukrainian, changed everything. time was divided eula into before. then after in the loop wilson, won't he ocean from here? it was 445 here when i got the news that the 1st bombs had fallen on key fun. yeah . we're under attack. i need to find it from. yeah. i've got a friend of mine, someone i've known since 2014 and keith said, we're not leaving, isn't it? we're going to put up a fight if if i need for big if i'm either on christ when he spoke latisha, all of a sudden you read that an army is invading another country.

that's 1st you think no lead. philos walter with a certain my language. yeah, people will die every act of war which lives in danger of names get fucked up. i had to lost the hoffman my was hopeful and probably we all were that this would somehow come to an end and fairly quickly to come. you know, then came the news that this was a special military operation in all of ukraine. and then that's when my deepest fears became a reality i'm it was therapist. yes. just the worst. i'm said the well for all of this i would have said i had some problems or challenges in my life. so this is just now looking back in the time before the war watches, let's just see how happy our family was to the bill. if that means there weren't any real problems, see only small things when your children. i loved our life clear to me today, it's all about survival, residential wizard. before when i break a mug, i'd be upset with you now. things are on

a whole other scale. just listened to his home as to what do we make? we bought ourselves a small, modest cottage in ukraine. hm. would be my son in law helped us out. in the last 8 years we renovated her in and made it into a home in a peculiar blauer little yellow house. not a cause, right? we painted it yellow fit or we have 11 heck, there's a vegetable garden. i really enjoy gardening, tomatoes, potatoes, that sort of thing. not one. me at them. many of them should. i had a 6 chickens and a cat quarter chicken i. cat is still waiting for me because new york you have to, i bought some cat food for later on year before you just you mentally. it's difficult for me to think about

filmmaking right now, like this with norwood mamma uga. my mother is in the process of fleeing from odessa to romania or when you lanier, gallagher, honestly is to bonham, making sure she arrives there safely. you so that i can greet her and bring her home with me please. it's. it was more important than any film i could by making a trustee might know what that, that it's like. this occurs living every day. you go to bed and either the siren would start wailing or the explosions would start by the well at the beginning that we went to a neighbor's cellar. when your mamma with her mother is $85.00 and i so we went down there together and then we just sat there. yeah, i had the representing him. but after a while her mother went back other to her mom. i said yet a big bread. she said her, it's live pitch worth it, but on was a coke with the later we didn't pay attention to the sirens where he stopped going into the cellar. done you freely. but when i'd lie in bed at night, i think at this level to forget all this running around in the morning. i can't

sleep like this. if it falls on me, so be it. so my staff member, worst of all, we're the fighter jets. they flew so low on elliptic, no matter where you were, whether you liked it or not. you just, you ro, yourself flat on the ground, just the which it's lily to reset my similar enough already than once at home. i went into the bathroom and at 1st i thought i'd knocked over something lum loser sheila you'll know mostly of it. it was a fighter jet that had just flown by, i thought, but i only deal with him at the even when it's gone for the air still crackles. one was, it was i did. yes. just awful handle. truly get that, that the course rush. nice them pretty thick up. it's good there for small. so done was i woke up and heard 8 or 12 shots in a row. this, this is or to grow these really loud bangs, or they go straight into your years and fill your head. but also purpose go super fast. but sir, i don't know how else to describe them,

but you can't mistake them for anything else. the brewster, the boys will grant the guide me the do it. what o e? sure, my little brother's birthday is on the 24th or brought the dinners in. you know, how it is kids love to celebrate you. when did you pricing? because no, because there weren't any fireworks, fear about the sound was almost the same. proportion we slows of some will up in will bring it that if we didn't decide right away to florida will usually we made up our minds over the course of the day. the chalice and the children didn't know what to take with them. so me nick wolf too. i told them just one pair of pants, one shirt, one pair of underwear, rosetta, we were told to, well done this only one suitcase per family. look wishing with them. i think not a one suitcase for 13 people have ordered a new roof. while i told the children they could each bring one toy with them. i packed matchbox cars for the little ones. the older ones brought along a stuffed animals and i told them to look after it in to use it as

a pillow too. but mostly i knew they needed something to remind them of homes them because i when i came on the one there miss rosa is shalom. i did finish them. we made the decision at the very start to go to our relatives. mamma was a new aims, brief mom asked if we could bring along the cat and that was fine if you me, because there is. so we went to a relative or no or a step when you may let you know, not everyone has the option of leaving missouri danger. we spent 2 weeks there isn't any delay. it felt like an eternity richness, but the most general commentary deal. oh, the most, the only thing i could do was scroll on my phone and watch what was happening. the price, why did god, dear jago or ching, but a jewel? i started feeling very aggressive towards the russian soldiers union. now i don't know if i should say this on camera was for a thought i kept thinking that i wanted to report their nails to them. they had to

execute them like the taliban doing videos on youtube. yellow or yeah, anything. well, i just didn't understand the purpose of this war, and i do agree, why would we now, what does it mean to a chair? so dish ourselves, katia. we had to decide how to follow it at that time. not many people were risking the drive across the she told their highway because it was under heavy shelling e, which is of a super old. he is, the traffic was completely cloud and we felt trapped because it was almost impossible to travel out of the village to give you any was more around us. there were banks, but it wasn't clear where the explosions were coming from, where the bomb such as mandated when you hear it, but you don't know where it is and that makes it even more frightening. thing is like when you say that a lot that are in danger with the robustness. did it to the bumpers? kazora's number yeah. we'll get off with that said i shouldn't prepare so that as

soon as the car arrived, i'd be ready to go when you would. and the very next day he woke me up and said, get dressed, the cause here. this is why i had 10 or 20 minutes dipping most of this. just marcia johnson, you that you're leaving that show that you're starting a new life somewhere else should be another week. i was happy about that. when it, though, does mom didn't want me to go at the right. she also understood that it was what's best for me to point more an up in missouri the ride. i didn't think about the war much over in my years. there were more immediate things to consider, but the most to me i will like how could i use the toilet as little as possible kitchen in the premier? i was stuffing myself with sweets to stay distracted. both shipper yazzy, north of 5, can let us say gillian, now whilst we were separated unto 2 buses, after which i was with the littlest when some one bus and my husband was with the rest of the children on the other bullet flattens. i was petrified on the drive for

the re hello. yep. we were a moving target. we could be shot in any time. yep. when you all are still. i kept thinking. hell. if i had been alone, it wouldn't have been half a scary. yeah. the mom that my husband and the children, but he said, well that's another story. him for the home, he was terrifying that we couldn't be on the same battle together. he had missed you yeah, i didn't want to leave you. right. managed my bag wasn't so big yard. i packed my clothes. you my stuffed toy, my teddy bear for every thing i'd need at the stars. if those hunger no, i didn't know how long will be gone for and as long as he can we either yakima, though, as we were led to the buses, leo did you? we said good bye alex. yeah. right. and we were all sobbing. you had asked for what a day of publish of the adults and the children you do to do to finish work. you

thought she'd like started that get if she boss we were crying because we couldn't all leave at the same time. the more likely oh, should go to played all live together for a long time by then. then we didn't know we knew each other so well. we were a family in the most new instance above the stall. it was after 10 hours on the road. we stopped at a gas station for a bathroom break. li tom did not all the buses had toilets when ours didn't, did jamar. if we were so relieved when we pulled over for a couple, rubies that i didn't make it to the bathroom was the only thing maliciously were there was a loud bang yet because the airport nearby was being bombed and it was unbelievably loud or bizarre little. but somebody was someone yelled every one back on the bus now at the board of them with watching longer with so no one had the chance to use the bathroom or was it near me?

things filled with several more listeners or the are usually than shows on will be as us than we then drove all the way to co veil without a single break. good. remember your holiday for a while? we drove through the forest without light, so elevated and wouldn't get was night time pitch black and my heart was pounding and my chest in. that was here. so the most flush of all the little one was asking me the whole time you hurry and did you buy me candy will? johan and i said i had managed the social band. it's had robbed the gas station we had in spill or dick, the little one kept asking, where are we going with the someone were willing and i told him wrong. so there on an adventure in our prize at the end is a chocolate tang junior. he will answer with am, shall on the bank. we are never cordova. i didn't get ourselves. i stayed on the bus for racial shots, were being fired at the gas station,

gordon and the people who were outside had to run straight back. if women as others, then we drove on. you will you done my sin, you've done it. no one said much after that nobody was in the mood. mullen austin, young children were texting their families and friends didn't. and we're seeing how they were doing back at home. you shot them, yankton, green, they cry. it's like we can't don't down. yeah, i was doing okay. was agreeable. i could calm myself down or my friends comforted me to school as boil. we weren't sleeping anyway. yeah, my miser miss polly. natasha . i feel as i had 1st took, i want to stay with got more than i thought we could wait it out. look that that it kept getting worse and worse. and not until it became clear that we had to flee. ah, that's awesome and i took seeds with me, your joy, they are very important. i didn't forget them. you most. i also brought bacon.

simon though, just a little bit more if you put rural which these are tomato seeds. you're looking for deal. i want to plant on those 2. yo, if i wanted to plant them at home, i had ordered them online. last one, you know, they're supposed to be very good. not to be again, am easy to take care of when they're called mongolian war tomatoes and walker cockers. sure on. but it was too early in the season to plant tomatoes or so now i'm going to plant them here in germany. godric, of course, we'll see how that goes. and i don't think tomatoes grow especially well in germany . latasha. oh, there was a girl. what dealers not dividend. them. you're like a robot ocean to which was the you don't allow yourself to feel anything more durable. you're just none to the pain anymore, they the only on valueless. they used to complain about headaches and back aches below. then i realized i've been sitting in a passage for 4 days and didn't have any back pain when bulletin was here,

i didn't feel a thing hostile, like a soldier turned to stone like a gun in this thaw of shoe. my mission was to protect the children be to reach our destination. that's it, but i'll just keep going. ah yes, nasty in this lore do i knew i was headed to an uncle in diesel door? my sir, is my own gall was getting there. yeah, i knew it is, well, i wasn't thinking beyond that, you're both of them all. i knew i had to eat and sleep and that was it. a shot i would have walked there with me being with of the school bridge already didn't the are ready to learn was number the driver needed to rest and we were told we had 9 hours of free time. we're moving to hello. yes. well, i gather the children and we went to the nearest playground so they could play ball . no push up could yes, but there was no ball like they were kicking around a bottle. but then someone threw down a ball from a window rach eager them with a risk of when we return to the buses. some locals were there when it was done, was clearly understood that we just fled from ukraine and brought us food. the

water with everything we needed and also to some of them, it was the national, the buses, according to this, a little bit more highly upset. by that point, we hardly had any supplies left, but only as new as we were blown away by how unbelievably kind. everyone was new, i thought. so what are they in the full city officials brought us to a school where there were showers. and we could finally clean up the little when the lawyer who had been sitting in their diapers for days while the shape in wait, wondering if that was desperately needed. we live up on the right one, but so should dylan you kimberly's, 5th year to polish women helped me northerners for me. unfortunately, i can't remember their name to say since it while it was the boy, it was like an assembly line as the word that i were undressing, washing addressing again. it was low. we had very little time with him. jeff off door was something we were told everyone back on the bus home we were telling them all on the way it all happened so quickly was that i before we had to keep going

was number one that she you there we'd never give mine are those 1st couple of days in germany, all i did was slate on all that i'm doing. i slept there on the couch. e. blessed it was so quiet to both zoom quiet. actually when you persevere, it was a bit unnerving so that you would have bill, sir, but as far at 1st i couldn't fall asleep, but then suddenly i was out and we'll get through skim snow. i slept like the dead . you're not doing wrong. yeah, i woke up in the exact same position. i've fallen asleep in boy. it wasn't my whole body ached thought i didn't even care. newborn's focus. no, not for them. but my niece for them that when we arrived in fryeburg, it was sunny and bright. williard got, it felt like we were stepping into a parallel world to propose a world where people aren't fearful this eventually we are, they just go about their day to day lives, meeting up for cardi shopping, picking up their children in. they only get glimpses of what's happening to our

people from the news, the other women's was your all 10 stop and everyone around you is relaxed, which is a monster. the reciprocal of what i did. you posted a flood in the brazil and my missions out though glibly, or someone who told you all 2 months earlier than i would leave you crazy and come to germany here is cuz i would have said, that's ridiculous. miscellaneous as to i thought i wouldn't go abroad until i was older and independent. i can be any good if i didn't think i would ever need to know foreign language as quick as i wish to renew it in so many more than that that m said channels vantage. if he ever since the 24th of february, i have been fully devoted to aiding the civilians who fled, as well as those who stayed in ukraine hill for video through before combe dick formulas onto tyndale claims and from, from our organization was among the 1st to green piano you mentioned in fung hadn't on that as far. that was a saturday 2 weeks ago. rotten. that's fine. how can we gave them food?

had care packages from drinks? it liam's middle off mid k bucket. mit was still drinking and then people came by to donate on such pen on this incomplete stage when they saw how overwhelmed we were because it didn't been again. and we couldn't manage the workload with a few members of the organisation of an experiment on this incomplete. and people volunteered to help us and have been with us ever since i've been there by the earth again. duncan shabba ish most, it was storm. it was at my 1st target were 2, i have to do something. i can't, i can't do much, but i can help him from cornish won't own for. oh, it shall book. so steadily from closely, not duly at fi discovered as i janet again under there was a center for refugee 8 workers at the train station and bon off on each been and 4 or so. and i've been going there ever since. and them before them on said they've

been sh doors yet and that the village is him every day. when i see these people in the, on just specially the children and the elderly people all different ages. jesus, if you know these are faces, i'll never forget again to forget guns law. i haven't been able to sleep since then all the year. these people to day and the 21st century. the they aren't fleeing the nazis, they're playing the russians also. i still can't wrap my head around that, immanuel good people. lemonade to please who is for me and this isn't playing out 1000 kilometers away from your at your school. that's happening here. when my heart in my very consciousness, my jewish i was born in lieu hans where my motherless e, she's 81. my mother in law is there to she $78.00. sure to so with these are

elderly people and i am extremely worried about them. this from their age was one thing. good. but now there's this to dish and the explosions. we hear about constantly on the news these days away. they've been going on in that area since 2014. my mother came under fire once and if a passer by hadn't pulled her into the entrance of a building and then into a bomb shelter. who knows if she would have survived in his level of illness issue with the will shop for a bunch of wool in dogs. i have relatives in both ukraine and russia. english. mia? i, i believe i have the right to speak my mind. and mike, as i was born in ukraine else's wealth, the soviet union actually is id, like most of us, yet to new one. so we de bison finance. you didn't differentiate who was ukranian, who was russia very nice, was sort of over us. it was one in the saying, i just saw it was one country and, and one nation, so to speak, to god it didn't matter. the size, it's been, i english can wish this is all to say i can't really take sides. but still, i do have an opinion on the subject, no hobbies unabridged him to minorities in conflict. this is, i know, put

a tour. i me to telpa. this is a military operation to protect the people in that don't boss regions to you. that's how i sign up as soon as you might know, and i agree, 100 percent in unit the russian government woods and president vladimir putin williams to michelin, a potential buy, escape down the steep crane that comes down to the fact that ukraine itself has been shelling the dumbass region since 2014 mentioned some people there have been sitting in cellar since 2014 killers like people are sitting in sellers. now that putin took action. who put in aggregate, if not mine of mine are not in my opinion. what's happening now is a direct consequence of what was started in 2014. when the c one is the driver, then we're those who can't grasp them until they have to go back and consider all the facts to understand what brought us here in the 1st place is get kind of issue . of course, there's no justification for and i warn this. well, how did you give us? the question was how, what did the western world do on these? what did germany do to prevent this war from happening to the forgotten?

what did they do? lead, blah, blah. all they did was taught our law, blah, blah, what i was not, why didn't they contaminate us were about maybe things would have gone better if they took a real standard instead of being wishy washy and going with the time and vince and sending weapons helmerson. so on from that's the stupidest thing of all, there is other. how can you deliver weapons to a war zone you're sitting on the phone should meet you does indeed are me. there is no gray area here. hope to get the shots on this as black and white. i do to crystal clear, but don't again, that's my personal opinion. a chris russia is the aggressor and they are killing people. major civilians just don't say the least. my country club awfully. at the brooklyn beast, this is a fratricidal war, which is a conflict between brother just a pneumonia. the history of mankind begins with murder, one brother of kills, the other cain kills able but they shared blood were both men and yet of the murder

happened anyway. why could you put so because their spirits were different to the world when there's a spiritual division issue, that's when conflict breaks out when people do, that's how it is. the question of ukraine sovereignty and so on, that's not for me to weigh in on the decision i want. he's, there's that so what form that takes, whether it's democratic or an artist for the political form is not as important for me. that's not what drives me to look like the clergy grapples with other questions . we have our side set on the bread of eternity, the eternal truth. do you understand the deliciously we preach and appeal to jesus? soon, the more people who turn to him, the swifter of this conflict will come to an ends in bush and would you, would you believe the brochure took a fist, which was 3 that was going to be like, which is as good on democratic fisher grown. this is about basic democratic values or gets on and on the other side, unless it's about of other values that aren't democratic in east indian,

not in the western democratic liberal sense. democracy. ashley baron, this conflict comes down to values and gave them it doesn't matter if someone is russian or ukrainian affiliated god by the rules i ukrainian can take russia's side or come. and in with that, there are quite a few who say what's happening is right of thug american road deal. craner had fish for 8 years ago. ukraine opted for free democratic world. i know fry. hi, alicia, democritus chavez does. indeed. he is. our values that we hold dear here to shed sadden tis here many of us who are born into this world, take them for granted to that and she lives from that. now we've come to realize this world as a fragile one. they're not just killing people, but they're killing democracy. they're killing freedom mentioned he took democrats, he did to it, and i had is a status of all can in this state, isn't a democratic one in your vote, feel a bit many people think of it as democratic,

but it's not honest as this, and it's a corrupt oligarchy, in quote, i don't understand why people think ukraine is better than russia dimension, then it's not worse by any means, or like better, best sellers between sizes, message option. there is no difference except it has its own territory and says, so this is our territory also don't interfere with it tomorrow. was that otherwise there's no different aspect any science when it may look like a democracy from the outside according to the constitution in the for, but it's not democrat, is it's corruptible and detrimental to its peoples is corrupt on the system as well . the last government author at any rate and try to refer cause to means the, let's mitigate of info. as is emma knocked out still no reason for russia to invade ukraine. i'm fed says him on it. still not a reason for russians to kill ukrainian or russian or crated grain of truth as this case is not a reason to attack and bomb a sovereign state and filed on to bomb i skipped. there's just no explanation.

and can it can't be reasoned by saying, oligarchy or corruption. all commerce is, yes, there's work to be done, but we're getting there. i will eventually, clarkson, in the url skew bargain. these are russian guys that just marched in to ukraine. weapons in hand, are you, will you be? whoops. oh, oh, grand street, where young zach killing soldiers who are defending their country. bullshit, buzaneli murdering civilians are c woodyear which it's total madness. you've had a great heroic act these days to openly opposed the regime in russia. unmarried that the one single editor of a news broadcast entered the frame for 5 seconds while holding a placard is they are lying to you here as you saw just either way. but away, nor that she was talking about the wall, it wasn't important. they are lying. teasley hurries. 5 seconds, it's up to each individual. if we have to hammer that into our brains. is

that i know the most fronting is in the, in the us that one protest or who walked into the shot on channel one gang isn't the way that i found it absurd. shanice who exactly from dish is, is for me. i didn't think it was courageous. it was ridiculous on it. it's not heroism built him of it stupid. he must see, it was for goodness why his freedom equated to what is forbidden by her to be the most. that c o, y isn't freedom associated with living in peace and doing your own things. well, why do you always have to be politically active and demonstrate against something? it, especially in russia, is on us in rosalyn and so much. and she now had the people in china wouldn't have dared to say anything against it. look 1000 most bang out from. it's a 1000 times stricter there than it is in russia, or they're not. quit he out. the russia is a 1000 times for your than china or north korea. manzona, it was can, you should fight for something if you know you, when this is a folk that mall chilly, we're in the virginia silently observing a crime,

turns witnesses into accomplishes what sort of glad is essentially the philosophy behind roches criminality. bestow bliss you a rule skin that sir lewis as russian citizens. we've all enjoyed some slice of happiness that we've taken from the high. i thought when them some in the form of a small or larger car to others with our wage as a security guard at the supermarket, sir, and a chance to take home expired groceries. oh, it's your excuse, sir. no, sir, the said sir thus graham, the wordpress solution is but the teacher who tampered with election results at a polling station here for a load is with that because in exchange she'd get money at them to lay into her classroom walsall with their way and pay for new toilers was still here earlier that i'm new years, i mean only does of what moves together. we have created her, i have to pull myself together, will give you several curve. well,
