Dear all,

I am representative of civil society of Ukraine. I am bombed for 6th day in
Kyiv. I have problems with Internet.

Please, do not to believe that Chernobyl in putler`s hands will ensure safe
living in Western Europe.

Come here to Kyiv to see putler`s action.

Just now - bomb alert.

Слава Україні! Героям слава! Смерть ворогам!
