955 day of war

Hello, friends!

This week, the country celebrated the Day of Defenders of Ukraine. It's a relatively new holiday, established in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea. Now, with the onset of the full-scale war, it has become one of the most significant holidays in the country, as the war has touched every family. It feels like everyone now has relatives who have either died or are currently fighting.
Unfortunately, all these national holidays become occasions for provocations, and on this day, a video was released showing the largest execution of prisoners of war captured by the Russian army. I try not to watch such videos because I understand they are meant to intimidate, and it really works. When I think that my time to serve could come at any moment, my greatest fear is being taken captive. Our country treats prisoners well—they are fed properly, given work, and treated humanely. When they are exchanged, they look okay. But when our soldiers return from captivity, it’s painful to see. And these mass executions—it's something beyond comprehension. How people can carry out such criminal orders is still beyond me.

I try to think less about it and distract myself from issues I cannot control.
This week, I received a new long-sleeve shirt, and fortunately, it dyed well. It was still tricky to tie it for dyeing, but overall, I really liked this fabric, and I think I can create many beautiful designs. I
In recent days been raining constantly, and being outside is quite unpleasant now, so I try to work more and create something new. Autumn is a tough time, but I try to find something beautiful in it—watching the trees slowly turn yellow, the squirrels jump in the park. It helps me feel better and distracts from what’s happening around me.
I still have hope that Zelensky's peace plan will give some results and I hope that this will come to an end.

Thank you all for your support. Even though it's completely unclear what will happen to us, I believe we will endure. I also thank you for the support on Buy Me a Coffee, it really helps.
