I would like to share my "war notes" made through drawings. We have only one home – it’s our planet. We should keep it safe.

In the 21st century we, all people and countries, should evolve and never act from a position of force, but from a position of negotiations, diplomacy, rationalism and consensus. It’s the main goal of humanity.

War is the worst mistake.

The best solution for war is never to start it.

We all are connected. Our energies and souls are connected.

Use your energy to create good, not evil.

Every living being is a sufferer of war. Animals in shelters and farms in occupied territories are massively dying from lack of food and water or after shelling. I watched a terrible video recorded in Borodyanka. Volunteers found only around 150 animals who survived out of 485.

I saw the same story. Then the updated story is sad too. When the surviving dogs got to the border Poland wouldn't let them in. I'm not sure what the final outcome was.

My friends and lots of people often mention the phrase “My life is divided into before and after”. I think it says all about the overall feeling caused by the horrible war in Ukraine. These drawings are a tribute to the victims of the war. I want to save the memory of them and the horrors Ukrainian people have to endure.

    Through my drawings, I want to spread the message to all generations that war is the biggest mistake of humanity. We all have unique souls and stories to tell. We are not just numbers and statistics. We need to stop spreading hate and start spreading kindness instead while it’s not too late. We need to save our planet - our only home.

Currently, Milena Uralova is in the hospital with her mother. She is recovering but is still very nervous and afraid of every sound. Milena dreamed of becoming a professional gymnast.

    Historian, Jens-Kristian Wagner, published on his page on Twitter a note about the death of 96 y.o. Boris Romanchenko.

    Boris Romanchenko was a prisoner in fascist concentration camps and survived Buchenwald, Peenemünde, Mittelbau-Dora and Bergen-Belsen. But he didn't survive after a bomb shelling by the Russian army.

    After the bombing of his apartment in Kharkiv, only his bones and ashes were found. In 2012, Boris Romanchenko read Buchenwald's oath "to create a new world where peace and freedom reign" during the celebration of the anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp.

    I work for the social services of my city, we have organized a reception office for Ukrainian refugees (our city is the first train station in the country after Germany and Poland - Many are just passing by to reach France, Spain, Italy...). They may have to eat, to drink, the possibility of resting in a house if they are on their way to find relatives. And we try to meet requests like food for a pet, or even simple travel bags to replace those taken from a department store in the rush of escape. One of the most emotional moments I experienced was when a boy was given a phone to call his father who stayed to fight and hadn't heard from him for at least a week. I don't speak Ukrainian, but the expression on his face and the tone of his voice at hearing his father's voice filled me with both happiness and sadness. He must now be with his family somewhere in France, and I hope he continues to hear from his father.
