In the evening, russian terrorists launched a missile attack on Odesa.

The missile that hit Odesa contained shrapnel to destroy manpower, that is, people.

The death toll from the attack rose to four. The victims were three women and one man. The number of injured has increased to 27, four of whom are in serious condition.

hi psa: the second someone apologizes for being excited about something, that is the moment you start talking about it with 10x the enthusiasm because 100% guaranteed they have, at some point in their life, been shamed or told shut up or calm down about something that brought them joy and learned to apologize for taking up space and expressing themselves - learned to make themselves smaller- and that’s the absolute worst feeling in the whole world so please, the moment they apologize or say “I’ll shut up now”, you start talking about it for them, hype it up, encourage them to talk your ear off and participate in their excitement. We want their passion, we want their excitement, joy and love. We do not want to be stunted and bitter and angry like the ones who tried to stifle us, we want to foster and nurture the glow in their eyes and the sound of their voice speeding up with exhilaration

The trees will tell you where the front line is.

Next site, Kholodnyi Yar in Cherkasy Oblast. It's a relict forest of historical and environmental significance. I did have to look up what a relict forest is. It means it is a forest that has survived from a much earlier time, a forest that dominated the area around 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, but has now been reduced to 6,804 hectares (around 16,813 acres). The forest is home to many archaeological, historical, and scientific sites. There's over 150 of them in the area, from sites of the ancient Trypillian culture to Scythian mounds. The Kholodnyi Yar National Nature Park was established on January 1, 2022, so only a little over a month and a half before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was started by muscovy on February 24, 2022.

And here's another pic of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Olena Zelenska along with their daughter Oleksandra from much happier times. May all Ukrainians soon be able to get what they want most. The end of this horrific war with their freedom & sovereignty intact.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, on this 38th anniversary of the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster, we're visiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (Зона відчуження Чорнобильської АЕС). The Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant Zone of Alienation. It was first established by the soviet armed forces at an area of 30 km (19 miles) radius around the power plant. That has since been extended to an area of 2,600 km (1,000 square miles) around the power plant. There is also an area in neighboring Belarus known as the Polesie State Radioecological Reserve, which was created to enclose the area most affected by the disaster in Belarus. The area of Ukraine, where the disaster happened, was a largely rural area with woodlands and marshlands and was home to about 120,000 people, many of whom lived in the cities of Chornobyl and Pripyat. There were also about 187 smaller communities in the area. All of the communities are still listed on maps, but they are listed as uninhabited. While the area is still one of the most radioactively contaminated places on earth, the natural plants and wildlife of Ukraine have returned, and the area now has "some of the highest biodiversity and thickest forests in all of Ukraine. This is due to the lack of human activity in the Exclusion Zone and is despite the radiation." The soviet authorities at first tried to cover up the disaster. The 30,000 residents of Pripyat weren't evacuated until the day after the disaster. And, by April 29, radiation levels in Sweden were starting to climb to dangerous levels. The authorities also insisted that the May Day Parade in Kyiv still be held so things would appear to be normal, even though radiation levels in Kyiv were extremely high by that time. The Chornobyl Disaster and how the soviet union dealt with it was one of the issues that helped lead to the collapse of the soviet union in 1991.
