1046 day of war

Hello, friends!

This week was calmer, and for the first time in a long while, I managed to get some rest. After a long period filled with endless tasks and work, I realized I had no idea what to do during my rest. However, I decided to give myself a few days off and not deal with those responsibilities. Instead, I focused on cooking, walking, reading, and watching TV shows. I lasted three days, and now I’m slowly getting back to work, tidying up my workspace, restocking all the dyeing components that ran out, and doing inventory.

I also realized I was mistaken—we did have electricity during the New Year. Overall, the current situation isn’t too bad for winter. The last major attack happened on Christmas, and since then, we haven’t faced power outages. It’s strange because in previous winters, this was a significant problem. Some people speculate it might be due to certain agreements or possible negotiations, though I have my doubts.

It doesn’t feel like there are any real prerequisites for peace talks to end the war. Looking at the Deep State map, you can see how, in recent months, the Russians have gradually advanced, capturing new villages and closing in on major cities. Previously, when reading front-line reports and seeing the number of people dying every day, I had hoped it might stop. I thought that seeing their massive losses, Putin might reconsider his plans to take over our country. But now, seeing figures of around 1,500 killed and wounded daily, I understand he doesn’t care at all about lives—neither ours nor his own population's. They’re in a strong position right now, and although their progress is slow, they are advancing, which makes me very doubtful that he’d want to stop.

Currently, our society lives on hope, even if there are no guarantees for it. We’re hopeful about Trump’s diplomatic efforts to end the war and have high hopes that this year will bring its conclusion. But whether there are real reasons to believe in this hope, I don’t know.

Regardless, I’m grateful that this time is more peaceful and that I can focus on my own things. I’m also glad there’s hope for change—it gives the strength to keep going.

Thank you all for your greetings and for supporting me on BuyMeACoffee!
