Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

You usually hear about the frontline city of Sumy because of russian attacks. Today I learnt that Sumy State University and the University of Liverpool have launched a joint research project on technologies that could make cities and infrastructure more resilient. Amazing!

Late night in Kyiv. Another drone threat has just ended. I cannot sleep. Ordered some books. The publisher whose warehouse was hit the other day suggested buying the books that survived. They have traces of fire or water damage. They called the initiative ‘The Fire Didn’t Finish Reading’.

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

🚨 LIES EXPOSED! Trump's supposed Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire was INSTANTLY revealed to be a lie! Trump announced “both parties have agreed.” Zelenskyy said was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a top Russian lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal and suggests Trump is trying to manipulate oil prices!

I’ve never seen anything like that. A chestnut tree is blooming in Kyiv. In October. No, it’s not a massive ‘trend’. Other trees are just like trees in autumn. Yellow, red, bald, tiredly green.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

A few minutes in Kyiv. Drones and a power outage not on the schedule. Someone is stuck in the elevator. My upstairs neighbour is going to look after her mum (97) in Sumy, closer to the frontline. A woman on the street asks where the nearest shelter is. I see her fear and take her to a safe place.

Such moments will stay in memory forever. Kyiv. Today, for the first time in 4 years and almost 7 months, I crossed the Dnipro River by metro during an air raid alert. The line I use keeps running during yellow (drone) threats. How was it? Faster, I think, than when there’s no alert.
