Update from Kharkiv -February 24

Thursday,  February 24, 2022

Dear Bob! Dear American friends! 

The situation is really quite scary. We were woken up by several explosions next to Kharkiv at 5 AM.  We were told that the Russian troops started shelling the military infrastructure in our region and all other regions, bordering with Russia and Belarus.

The missile attacks are done all over Ukraine, aiming, first of all, military stock houses, airports, and air defense.

My colleagues and friends from different regions reported Russian troops and heavy military vehicles (including tanks) to cross the borderline. Some of the settlements are already seized.

It's a full-scale invasion by bloody Russians. My family and I are still in Kharkiv fully ready to leave once we have such an opportunity. For the time being, the roads from Kharkiv are blocked by a big number of those who are leaving the city. For nowhere... Cause I still do not have a clear understanding of where to go from here now.

But we do not panic. We need some time to learn the plans of the invaders.

I'll keep you updated. 

BR,
