What is happening to you, your family and your homeland is unbelievably traumatic and seems very much like the individuals are disposable pawns in a game played by those so far detached from lives on the ground that they appear barely human.

Taking weapons against trained soldiers seems incredibly courageous, but also incredibly dangerous, every young man I've seen on TV talking of it and returning home fills me with dread and admiration.

Of course during these times you will be completely distracted and feel stress due to the lack of agency you have to even understand the situation affecting those you care about. Don't feel an ounce of guilt for those feelings, don't feel the need to doubt what you feel, right now the world is facing an existential crisis, but for Ukraine its a very practical reality.
