 Thanks for this fantastic post!

I am personally helping Translators Without Borders, they are in need of interpreters and translators for Ukraine right now.
Almost all citizens from Spain have been repatriated already, but I am sure they need help with other language pairs.

My pleasure but credit is due to the reddit OP that originally compiled and shared the info. I did include their reddit user name to give credit but the post was moderated. I'm not blaming the moderation. Rules are rules 🙂. I just don't want anyone to think I didn't give credit where it was due.

Thank you. How are you??

I'm officially a war refugee. Stuck next to the Polish border with some family members who need some serious convincing to cross. I have a backpack and 2 cats to my name. Most of my family is in Kyiv and I never know if I hear from them in the morning. The road I took to flee is now completely destroyed. I mean, I'd make a joke but it's a disaster movie at this point. 

Thank you, I appreciate you asking. Quite a few regular buyers have reached out to ask me how I was doing as well. Warmed my heart.

I’m glad you’ve got your cats and a chance to get out. I wanted to ask how you were doing but feared it may be insensitive/seem like a silly question. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the world so united in support for one country and it’s people. Even if that support isn’t going far enough. I have a Ukrainian friend who volunteered to fight in Kyiv and his mum has been making molotovs apparently. He’s a social media marketer. I just can’t believe it’s come to this. It’s mad.
 

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the dilemma re crossing the border if you’ve made it that far? Is it principle that they don’t want to leave the country? Or do they just happen to live near the border and that’s where you’ve gone? Or..?

Obviously you don’t need to answer and I’m sorry if you think I’m prying. I rarely trust the media so it’s good to hear from a real person seeing the real situation. Stay safe and strong!

It is interesting to watch this "popular" war, with 100% support from the public and 1 single, synchronized narrative from the media all using the same exact talking points, while there have been dozens of wars raging for years and many others actually happening right now that no one seems to give a flip about.

Older family members don't want to leave their home and hope to wait it out. Younger one wants to be closer to her partner as men are not allowed to leave. Everyone's hysterical, no-one's been sleeping so no one's making their best decisions right now. Moving as far away as possible without leaving the country sounded like a good compromise. But it's assuming that invasion doesn't go all the way. We get sirens here 1-2 times a day still.

I agree and all I can say is I don't know what the duck political leaders are doing. I feel like America SHOULD have stepped in by now and as an Indian, I genuinely believe India should've sent over at least SOME of its troops.

It is impossible to even imagine what you must be going through. Be strong. Sending lots of love to all the Ukranian community.
