Late October morning in Kyiv. We were under attack last night. Once again (I’ve lost count), ‘my’ bridge was hit. It’s closed to cars and metro trains. I’m making a warcoffee. Electricity is back. Just for a few hours. So, life has its treats, for sure.

Today I took warm socks out of the drawer. The woollen ones the Lady with Golden Hands knitted in the last years of her life. Every time I pass the place where she used to sell them, I sigh. Her smile... It's getting colder in Kyiv.

Ukrainian defender Pavlo Shatokhyn, callsign Shakh, defended Mariupol and was captured at the Azovstal. In the russian captivity he was tortured, beaten, starved — he lost 80kg. Terrifying. But "russia has been fine on Ukraine." Photos Suspilne

Serbians reminded us: democracy doesn't defend itself. People do. Passionate people who refuse to tolerate corruption and abuse of power. Many Western countries have important elections coming up in the weeks & months ahead. Folks. This may be your final boarding call to defend your democracy too.
