I am so glad Lyudmila is still OK. Thank you Serinde for giving us the news.

Regards,

Richard.

Thank you, Serinde. This makes my heart happy, at the same time it is breaking for Ukraine.

Thanks for update. I think of her often, and hope she and family are OK.

Dear Lyudmila we miss you and hope you, and your family, are safe and well. Are you getting time to do some stitching?


Is it really two years since this second phase of Putin's war on Ukraine started? Putin seems to be fixated on trying to take Russia back to its former glory but who wants to live like they did a thousand years ago? I am reminded of Thomas Hobbes quote in his Leviathan: "No arts; no letters; no society; which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short". No one would want to live under the rule of the Kremlin.

I wish the wider world was doing more to help, it always seems to be too little, too late

You and the good people of Ukraine remain in our hearts

Note: The first stage of the Russian/Ukrainian War was 10 years ago with the illegal annexation on Crimea and their forces going into the East of Ukraine.

My FB memories popped up with the Archbishop of Canterbury's prayer for Ukraine 2 years ago - it's incredible isn't it? And, yes, it did really start much longer ago. And anyone who stands up to Putin ... dies. Surely we must be able to do something to stop him?!?

No one is immortal.

That is definitely true. But he's got a lot of people around him doing their best to make sure it doesn't happen to him. Still, he will have to face his own mortality at some point. I'm just worried about the damage he can do before that happens.

I contacted Lyudmila yesterday, and she sent this: "To the Forumers , please, say hello from me and my heartfelt Thank You for the thread "Our Lyudmila" you have on there since the beginning of the war."

Thank you Serinde for reaching out to Lyudmila, so good to hear something from her

Very relieved that she's still OK.

Thank you for the update. I have been thinking of her so much lately.
