Sitting on a park bench, complete strangers – he and she – watched silently as a dog, its tongue hanging out, darted across the mowed grass. Catching air or insects, or just like that, without purpose. Both were simultaneously haunted by the same thought: Look, this is what happiness looks like. Everyone considered how miserable…
The most important action is currently taking place near Kharkiv, where the Ukrainians are slowly but systematically pushing back the Russians. The artillery supplied by the Allies begins to bear fruit. Unfortunately, it cannot influence the situation in Mariupol, where in the cellars of the huge Azovstal factory there are still civilians who have not…
Putin gave a speech in Red Square. Nothing new he said. He did not declare war against Ukraine, did not call for mobilizations. Perhaps that is a pity. It would end sooner, but giving weapons to so many of his countrymen seemed too risky even for him. The speech consisted of old clichés and phrases…
Today Latvia is celebrating 32 years since regaining independence. There are solemn events, state awards are given, emotional speeches are heard, the name of Ukraine is often heard, and the sun shines. A relaxed mood that suggests that there probably won’t be a war here, but if it comes, people will be prepared for it.…

Ukraine must win! Thus, the international chorus has now begun to sing; the majority of the West resounds in unison with the Ukrainians. Although the chorus still includes the crooning and the silent, and it is a bit sad to look at Germany, whose chancellor, as it turns out, seems to be stubbornly and unanimously…
On the night of Easter Monday, probably for the first time in my life, I dreamed of nuclear war. Not much happened, the most interesting thing was the feelings and thoughts, some of which I strangely remember. I don’t know why, but I was alone in an empty room on the first floor. I went…
Although there is war in Ukraine, thoughts turn to Russia because, on the one hand, one cannot help but be horrified by the atmosphere there and, on the other hand, one cannot help but be glad that one has not had to be in the same political space with this country for 30 years. There…
