661 day of war

Hello, friends!

This week has been very similar to last winter. Rockets and drones were hitting our country daily, air alarms occupied most of the day and night. Fortunately, over the past year, we've received many air defense systems, so the damage to infrastructure is minimal, and we still have electricity. I thought we would be without power like last year, but so far, everything is fine.

However, something unusual happened - Russian hackers hacked the largest mobile operator and destroyed its database. The hack occurred on December 12, and only yesterday did the communication start to reappear, although there are still issues with internet access. These were tough days for those who have relatives on the front line because for several days, they couldn't contact their loved ones. Fortunately, the situation is improving, and communication is returning. The best part of this situation was a few days without the internet and news.

This year, there aren't many orders for Christmas, but at least there is something, and I try to work more on T-shirts and make handmade gifts for my loved ones. Although our budget no longer allows for celebrations, I think I can manage to make nice socks and T-shirts for Nastya and my parents. The fatigue from the daily workload is getting stronger, but I hold on to the thought that holidays are coming, and I'll have a few days to relax.

While we work and hope for the best, regardless of the situation on the front, I always try to stay positive and believe that this will end someday. The situation on the front is quite tough, as well as inside the country, but I believe we can overcome all difficulties.
More and more we are being told that support for the country is diminishing, that we lack people and ammunition, and there are indications that support for internal refugees will decrease. However, in reality, Russians have not been able to capture new cities for a long time, and some assistance is still being provided. If the situation does not escalate further, I am confident that a solution can always be found.

Thank you all for your support, and a big thank you for the help on buymeacoffee. It means a lot.
