Despite destruction, the war could push Ukraine to rebuild better, leaving behind outdated Soviet living conditions. Yurii, whose home was hit twice by Russian strikes, may be among those who benefit.
Condolences to Swampy’s family and many friends and those he trained. This is so very sad and another moment where the very real human cost of this war is made evident.
Thank you for these articles, which help me to grow my understanding and compassion for those living in a war zone. This includes the loss of such precious people, the seemingly endless suffering, the Ukrainian choice to get on with it, and endure for the sake of freedom. This is a particularly needed lesson for us in the United States, where a substantial minority of us do not seem to value that freedom at all.
Thank you for your kind words. It’s inspiring to see how Ukraine’s strength and fight for freedom resonate with others. Recognizing the value of freedom and learning from these experiences is so important, and your support means a lot.
Thank you for this informative article - and the sad memorial to a life lived sacrificially: to Swampy, may his family & friends find peace in his generous gift to Ukraine, his life and devotion.

It’s commonly said here that “the dead are the best of us.” So who is left when this is all over?
It is a tragedy, and we’ve all watched this go on for far too long. I pray Europe does step up with sanctions now.
