This morning’s air raid siren in Lviv
I had assumed it was a test because it happened at about the same time as yesterday’s (which I slept through).
But apparently, this morning’s air raid siren in Lviv was because of the attack on the airport in Rivne, about 175 km (110 miles) away.
Quick Update
Lviv is calm but tense. No more long lines at ATMs as there were yesterday.
I hear there are long lines at border crossings. For now, we are here.
#Kaczynskiwasright
Former Polish President Lech Kaczynski was killed in that suspicious 2010 plane crash in Smolensk Russia that decapitated Poland’s leadership.
Planning A Basement for Our Home
Today I reminded my wife of something.
About a year and a half ago, we debaed whether to build a home in Ukraine or move back to the US. We went pretty far in the home-planning process, and had architects make and revise plans.
My wife didn’t want a basement because she perceives them as creepy. I said it’d be good to have one in case of artillery.
I told the architects the same thing when we visited the lot together, and we all laughed.
In the end we removed the basement from the plans, and then cancelled the plans altogether, making the very difficult decision to remain in Lviv and then move back to the US.
The cancellation was informed in part by it being too close to the border with Russia. So that was wise.
Instead, we build a second story onto the home of my in-laws. Yesterday, they jokingly hoped no rocket would crash through their new roof.
Hostomel / Antonov Airfield back under Ukrainian Control
As an ex-paratrooper who trained regularly at airfield seizure, I can imagine the panic of the Russian forces who realized they were losing control, and the follow-on forces would not be coming.
This air field is 5 km (3 miles) from where my daughter was born.
Russian Military Demoralized
I think this is indeed true, and not just “hopium”. Though we should be mindful of our bias for good news.
While they are likely demoralized, there are also a hello of a lot of them. We’re expecting fresh attacks with fresh troops tomorrow.
10,000 AKs distributed in Kyiv
I’ve been telling Ukrainians to do this for years! I was even on television here two or three times, arguing for this. (Apparently, they thought me interesting enough to put me on TV.)
Better late than never, I suppose.
Repin’s Zaporozhian Cossacks
Amazingly, you can find three sinister spies in the back row of this epic painting, looking with disdain upon the freedom and spirit of the Kozaks.
All nations which border Russia should work toward acquiring nuclear weapons.
Two each would suffice. @visegrad24
God bless these maniacs. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні!
Just had drinks in Lviv with a veteran friend of mine who is eager to get back into the fight, and on his way tomorrow. God bless these maniacs. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні!
