Finally 2022 is over. It was extremely challenging year for entire world: reckless aggression of Russia against Ukraine, skyrocketing prices, millions of refuges in Europe. World has changed forever. And, unfortunately it became more and more unpredictable and less and less safe.
For my family it was the hardest year ever. We celebrated 2022 in Kyiv and enjoyed this beautiful city, we had plans to visit all major cities from Kharkiv to Lviv and from Odesa to Dnipro. We visited only Lviv for one night running away from Russian soldiers after war began.
Since Feb 24, we moved so often that my wife who loves travelling hates them now. Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, Belarus, Kazahstan, Turkey, Germany – this list could be split for a decade of travelling, but we did it in couple months, with two little kids, with locked bank cards and horrible feeling of collided world around us.
However, all our losses: money, personal belongings, locked stocks are nothing in compare with nightmare of people who are now captured on battlefield, who lost their loved ones.
Yesterday, I told with my friends from both Russia and Ukraine. None of them is happy about this war. And I hope it will end this year. I hope all that tragedies will be over as soon as possible.
Today, I want to say goodbye to 2022. We sick and tired of you! Go away, and we are going to live in a better world.
