Still here! Thank you for your help!

Hi guys!

I am still here but have less time to visit forum as often as I want and we are under constant russian missile/drones attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine.

Huge thanks to moderators for helping keeping this forum clean from spam.

Any update from the front lines? Hope you're doing well and are safe.

Hi, happy to be here with you

Things are hard, but we’re holding steady.

Russia keeps trying to push the front line forward at an enormous cost, throwing “cannon fodder” at every mile. They still can’t change the overall situation, so they try a different approach: negotiations that would pressure Ukraine to give up territory without a fight, packaged as a “peace agreement.” The problem for them is simple: those areas are fortified, and they haven’t been able to take them for years. And their “peace deals” don’t mean anything.

We got through a very difficult winter. They launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones trying to knock out Ukraine’s power grid — and they failed.

Now spring is finally here, and we’re relieved that all that effort was wasted. Honestly, it’s hard to understand the logic of trying to freeze civilians into demanding capitulation. People here adapted. Air-raid alerts for ballistic missiles and drones became part of daily life, so many families bought power stations and generators, installed solar panels, and added home battery systems.

A huge thank-you to everyone around the world and especially to the United States for all your support. We couldn’t have made it through four years of full-scale war without you.

I’m currently working on a long, detailed article about shotguns vs. drones, and I’ll publish it soon.
