Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022
Great Poem Marandina! You perfectly describe the mood and the uncertainty in 'untouched' Moscow. I do hope your son will be able to complete his 3 months, but it may be wise to return. War could get nastier and Ukraine still end up occupied, but...

Thanks for commenting Di Hard. I am thinking that maybe the European nations and Ukraine should have given Putin the guarantee he seems to want so badly that Ukraine cannot join NATO or the EU, and probably recognised Russia's annexation of...
