Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border. Well, as you know from yesterday, I'm in a Dyssa,

and it's pretty nice here. Apparently, there was

an airstrike last night with air sirens and everything during the curfew hours, which by the way

are from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. But we were so tired after our trip that, honestly speaking,

we just fell asleep. That was pretty, pretty hard, to be honest, after all this situation.

Today, as we were approaching home, apparently there was a bit of another airstrike somewhere.

An airplane flew over and dropped something.

Well, we couldn't hear the airplane, but the boom was audible.

And just an hour ago, again, a bunch of midge of air sirens. We couldn't hear the airplane, but the boom was audible.

And just an hour ago, again, a bunch of, much of our sirens.

But I can assure you that Odessa will definitely not fall.

People here are made out of something different.

This place is special.

They call their city mother, and it's for a good reason, since they have, well, dark, dark comedy on posters in the walls, together with patriotic

slogans and a lot of calls in preparation. If the Russian Marines step out here, they'll see a lot of

posters about how they should, instead of fighting, just sell their own vehicles for five million

rubles, which is about $10,000.

The place is beautiful, though.

Quite summary and nice, and, well, there's a giant book market, which is amazing.

And then there is also, of course, the Central Park, where is the monument to Ostabender.
