It is April 2nd. Sorry for not recording anything for so long. I was terribly exhausted and deeply overwhelmed by a flood of bad news, starting with Neil Young cancelling his concert in Ukraine and ending with the endless Russian shelling of our cities.
They are using a new tactic now. Their kamikaze drones have started flying at very high attitudes before diving onto their targets. This helps them evade air defense system, though it significantly reduces their accuracy. Not that they care about accuracy. They just hit residential areas, killing random people.
You know, when White House officials in Washington recently spoke about Putin supposedly being responsible and focused on peace, in Kyiv first responders were pulling the bodies of a five-year-old girl and her father from the rubble. That's Russians' idea of peace. And it's like this almost every day. Endless terror. The weather is not helping either. Cold and almost constant rain.
But there is also a good news, I'd even say great news. I now have a vehicle, a whole van that seats 8 people. It's not new of course, it's 20 years old, but I got it for free. It was simply donated to me by an ordinary Estonian guy who decided to help the Ukrainian army. He started looking for someone who could use his van the most and found our unit, which
works on media and veteran rehabilitation i went to live to pick it up and now when is with me my comrades decided it would be best used for filming videos and recording podcasts which is exactly what i do i even dream of converting it into a mobile studio someday but that will take time
I keep saying this, our country would not have survived without outside help. My family would have likely lost several members if not for foreigners who stepped in to help me. I try to repay that kindness by making this podcast, telling you what's really happening here and what we feel. And let's be honest.
Things are tough. Russians are killing people every day. The war hasn't become any less bloody. But we are holding on. Thanks to people like Karel from Estonia. And you. Thank you.
