It’s been a year. But from what? The beginning a war? NO. Exactly on February 24, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukrainian territory, unprecedented on such a scale- in terms of brutality, intensity, pure violence. But this war started much earlier. Unfortunately, the West has forgotten about it. And the conflict continued to smolder. After the seizure of Crimea, people were dying on the frontline almost every day. I remember the sadness of Ukrainians saying that they feel abandoned by the world, alone… However, it had one good thing in my opinion. The growing resistance and heroism, the defense of its territory already years ago had a significant impact on forging the steadfastness and self-awareness of the Ukrainian nation. And fortunately it seems that now also the western leaders have finally understood who they were dealing with. No more games with Putin.

This is a symbolic day and all the world’s media are talking about it. For me, this is an opportunity to go back with the memories to one of the most fantastic cities I have ever been to – Kiev.

I came to Kiev on business, but I always made sure that I had at least some time to experience this city. Great, crazy, intense, melancholic, modern, full of contrast city. And, above all, I met there sunny, wonderful people.

I hope that I will be able to return there soon. To go back to wandering the streets, drinking coffee, eating wonderful delicacies of local cuisine. conversations. About everything and nothing. And if I manage to take a few photos along the way – it will be wonderful. I keep my fingers crossed, especially on this day, for all Ukrainian friends. Glory to Ukraine!
