Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border, this time from Kiev, Ukraine. Yeah, just arrived here.

Sorry that I skipped the episode yesterday, it just that, yeah, it turns out that on the train here,

internet is really, really shabby.

And, you know, cell phone, internet is expensive and lags. But I made it to Kiev.

I delivered your donations, or they were supposed to go the part

that's going to go for the drone anyways and winter clothing as well I still have some things

that I want to give for the people helping helping civilians in the front line but um but yeah

this has been delivered and also I've received a cool hat for it.

Check the post on Twitter or on Facebook page, because now I'm a proud owner of the Ukrainian

Army Special Forces Cap, which is probably, you know, as cool a cap as one can get.

This whole event is going to be a bit more expensive than I imagine, though, because we're

getting, me and Anthony from Ukraine without hype, go check out that podcast as well. We're going to go

first tomorrow to the Belarusian forces in their camp here in near Kiev, and then we're taking

a car to Mikhailayev.

Why a car?

Because if we wanted to go see those Belarusians, then we couldn't make it in time for the bus,

so we had to rent the car.

And, oh, boy, I don't want to think about the ridiculous amounts of money that I've spent

here.

It's closing in on about

$2,000 total spending expenses, but that's what you get if you want to do your war journalism
