 It’s my first day back in Kyiv since the full-scale war broke out. The spirit of Ukrainians has not been lost. Many who I’ve met seem to be lively, hopeful, and continuing to live their lives. https://i.nostr.build/GfywxL5tMjeoVwIT.jpg https://i.nostr.build/lIML6QxwjkBeow96.jpg https://video.nostr.build/8e581a30e5c4106652005b50d8f4b2fe2ba11dc6bdf211f9bf65c852624a665c.mp4  nostr:note1qe94u3nx926tffmasaevf4w4cdz2jl7r4dhwnhjxpqy7as2f7mnswvf7gm 
 were you not scared to be there? 
 My wife and everyone else seem unbothered, so I guess I’m not either. 
 Noted, ty for the reply.  
 My colleagues (in Ukraine) said there were more attacks a few days ago as it was their “independence day”. They have impressive resilience, with backup generators and batteries so they can continue to provide value to their customers and continue to work through it. Many a time I have had to tell them to stop working and go to a bunker. Stay safe and don’t forget the rule of two walls! @tyiu x 
 Yes, I agree that their resilience is impressive. Thanks, Ben! 
 Why did you go to Ukraine?  
 Accompanying my wife on a business trip. Plus, I love the country. I’ve been here many times. 
 You're so very brave. Keep sharing with us. When it is safe again my family will visit. 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️ 
 Thank you! I’m not brave. But all the Ukrainian people are, especially the ones on the front lines. I’ve met a few who lost limbs due to the war, or left their country for a better life for their family. They’re the incredible ones. 
 Enjoy your trip and stay safe! Please keep sharing photos from your trip. It’s nice to see other aspects Ukrainian life. Also, it was super cool meeting you and your wife in-person at Nostriga. 
 Thank you! Great meeting you as well. 
 Great pics Terry 💜 
 That is good to see and hear
