SAD BOYS

after a final productive meeting

left Kyiv for the 600km drive back to Lviv

<< previous next >>

berezivka

stopped on the way to Lviv, at berezivka where we were shown around by a local lad

here, a few weeks ago, the Russians had been assembling before a push into Kiev

but the met fierce Ukrainian resistance and got fucked

unfortunately they murdered and looted the villages there before they were turned around

here, they killed the village leader and her family and dumped their bodies in the sewer

they killed another 50+ villagers too and dumped them in an open grave in the woods

almost ALL the house are damaged: some competely wrecked

<< previous next >>

sadly, the Russians shot down this Ukrainian fighter jet and it crashed into the village, instantly killing an old lady in her house and disintegrating into many other houses around

the old lady's house

i spent a lot of the last few days going 'fucking Russians' to myself and out aloud

<< previous next >>

this dog was shaking like it had ptsd, same as the young lad showing us around the village

<< previous next >>

on our way out of the country, had to stop in (also charming) Lviv for ST and N to collect their permits allowing them out of Ukraine so they could drive us back to Poland

no men of fighting age are allowed to leave Ukraine without special permission.

as we were approaching Lviv, ST got an alert on his phone that Kyiv (where we had just been) had an air raid warning

in Lviv, as i was enjoying this delicious borsch (beetroot soup with vegetables and pork) in a little local cafe the air raid sirens started there.

then thuds as missiles hit their targets

we ran out into the road to hear the haunting sound of air raids and see the sky filling with black smoke

russian missiles had hit some electrical power stations and railway lines going in and out of Lviv: trying too fuck infrastructure and routes for supplies

and our intended border crossing was then closed

<< previous next >>

managed to get out of Lviv before curfew and decided to drive 2 hrs north to the next border which was apparently quite quiet

we arrived to 18km of lorries queuing to get across

decided to walk over the border, although there were no pedestrians allowed there

N had a word on our behalf

at midnight, SvL drove to meet us on the polish side and drive us 2.5hrs back to the fire station where a kind fireman woke up and let us in for a few hours sleep

long long day
