How it can be with the end of collectig just a moment before war

Thank you all CT Friends for care and warm words! Thank you all for sympathizes to ukrainians, we all need to join to win this evil!
My family and I am now in EU. We was invited by friends to leave Ukraine and keep in safe my family. We avoid a tragedy to split a family as much of Ukrainians forced to do, because I am a father of 4 childs with youngers twins only 2 year old, and I can legally leave a country.
Before we go out of borders we spend a night at underground parking with ambient temperature below 0 C degree and rocket falling above, after trying to find a food in city with almost all closed markets around (at first days there was no transport and workers in city and a big problem something to buy). We go out Kyev to near village to seat nights without light (total blackout agains groups of diversionists) and listen a news how Kiev became a partialy surrounded from north, west and after east... and then decided to drive away...

As an ancient coin collector, a lot of times I was thinking about a parallels in history. And I think I've found one: when the Pharisees condemned Jesus to be crucified, they thought they were right and convinced others of this...

Today most of russian thinks they are right, when killing ukrainians. That is why I speak that now we are fighting agains true evil... And thanks to God we are not standing alone!

Hello Ivan. I hesitated replying to this thread because I am fully enraged and frightened about what happens in Ukraine. I thought this kind of atrocities belong in the dark corner of the past. I hope everything will be over soon and the guilty people will get what they deserve. Your Romanian neighbors are with the Ukrainian people.

 

I am so glad you and your family made it safely to the EU!

 

Thank you @AncientJoe and thank you @TIF ! 6 years ago I join CT and yours web sites impressed me so much, that I decide to do the same. My first version of site was a true barbarian imitation of yours ))

 

Many Thanks to Romanians and other our neighbours!
I just now found out what delicious simply warm broth with noodles can be at night on the border with Moldova after 24+ hours continuously driving non-stop, without food and almost without water.
Then there was a very large volunteer post on the border with Romania, and there was also everything you needed. The Romanian border guards explained everything in detail and were very sympathetic. Many thanks!

 

Glad you and your family are safe. You certainly are not alone. We in the USA stand firmly with you for as long as it takes for victory. You are fighting the war for all free people.
