Not gonna lie, my morale is at the lowest point it's been since the beginning of the invasion. Russians are successfully occupying more and more territories and shell frontline regions every day. People are dying, our culture and herritage is destroyed. International aid dwindled significantly because of american bullshit. Mobilization law has been signed and there is a chance that my family members get conscripted soon. Don't even get me started on internal political problems. A bunch of articles in foreign media talking about our defeat and "peace talks" (what a joke).

It feels like there were no at least moderately good news in a while. On top of that, the feeling that we are screaming into the void is stronger than ever. I'm happy when I see a foreigner online supporting us and spreading the word, because it gets rarer. Ukrainians feel like none of what's happening gets outside our info bubble. Most likely no one but Ukrainians will see this post either. Honestly don't know what to make of all of this.

All of you are recklessly destroying forests, and soon there will be nothing left on earth. In the same way, you are recklessly destroying man, and soon, thanks to you, there will be no loyalty, no purity, and no capacity for self-sacrifice left on earth. Why can't you see a woman indifferently if she's not yours? Because the demon of destruction is in all of you. You have no pity neither for forests, nor for birds, nor for women, nor for each other.

— Anton Chekhov
