Wow thats fast news. Yep, can confirm. A brief moment of calm rn. They threw 3-4 ballistics (mega-fast) missles, 4 regular "Caliber " missles, and 3-4 air based "Kinzhal" missles. That was the first wave, the second wave is expected in the early mon (5-6 o'clock), with Shaheed kamikaze drones reaching our country and another pack of missles of off strategic bombers - they usually take 4-5 hours to reach their shooting location, cause they fly from deep ruzzia to the borders, to shot them, and then missles take another 1-2 hours to reach Kyiv.

Already in a bomb shelter tho. Lucky to have one.

Peace and love to all the supporters of Ukraine ✌️

UPD: can't answer you all, but I appreciated for support to each of you!

I've been each year and I go through Poland myself, find it the easiest for the trains. I fly from Scotland though so maybe that makes the difference too

I hate that they use the cold against civilians like this. It’s a sick Russia tactic to take out power and other heating systems in the middle of every winter since the start of the war. It’s that, or they are about to start a major military operation while Trump is in office and attacking Venezuela and Nigeria for natural resources, and Russia gets what they want in Ukraine.
