Getting used to the nightmare

Ukrainian authorities are continuously asking citizens not to ignore warning signals and to use shelters. Even with the traumatic experience of getting used to sirens from 1999, it is impossible to fully understand how a person can tolerate that stomach ache, how he can continue to sleep, work, study, drive a car, drink coffee when he hears that sound. Is the anxiety ever truly curled up and repressed or - as in the case of Voja Čolanović - does it become an "unfolding anxiety"

The sun is far away

The Chinese are realists and do not believe that at this moment the Russians and Ukrainians will sit down at the negotiating table. But you should try - that's why they send their special emissary to the war zone. There he will be confronted with the real, not diplomatic, positions of Moscow and Kiev: with the escalation of airstrikes on Ukrainian cities, new missiles and drones.

Ambassador of Ukraine: It is ridiculous to compare the Moscow referendum with the Kosovo one

The referendum in Kosovo was held under international monitoring, and the one conducted by Moscow under the threat of armed forces, said the Ambassador of Ukraine to Serbia, Volodymyr Tolkach.

Vladimir Putin's War Without Peace: The Fall of the Patriarch

Speaking about the beginning of the invasion in the early morning of February 24, the Russian president held himself as the absolute ruler on whom everything depends. However, that pose quickly and noticeably began to unravel along with the dissolution of the original "special military operation" plan. Self-confidence noticeably returned to Putin in mid-summer, when the Russian army recorded successes on the Luhansk battlefield, but the Ukrainian counteroffensive around Kharkiv brought a new low: at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Samarkand, he was forced to express understanding for the objections of China and India, but and exposed to the humiliation of smaller members of that organization
