We are ok. Life in Kyiv is relatively calm and business seems to be somewhat normal. Lots of cafes and people in the streets but a shortage of petrol (which doesn't affect us). Flowers blooming everywhere and an atmosphere of victory. No talk about the end of the war until Ukraine takes back Donbas and possibly Crimea. Heavy weaponry coming from the West which they want to use to try to recover as much territory as possible. Really can't blame the Ukrainians after what has been done here. Peace is a ways off I think.
