Today I finally see, hear, feel my beloved Kharkiv, walking along the streets, peering, recognizing… And this image arose in me - the city stands proudly, an open smiling face, a smile a little like Mona Lisa's, skillfully and professionally retouched wounds, dressed in parks and flowers, as if in modern designer couture, in which the ancient and the modern will elegantly go together. It stands proudly, and below it, russia
crackles from the heat and powerlessness… it yearns, sirens smoke through its ears and nose… it stinks and rages… And in the meantime, the city orders a white dry with ice and thinks through plans for future projects… I love…. Thank you for your strength, joy. Stubbornness, creativity, love, for LIFE in spite of everything. I will wait for the next meetings…
Yesterday I met Severyn in Kyiv. While I will perform at the PEN Ukraine event on July 20 to support Ukrainian Defense, Severyn is going to rebuild destroyed houses with REPAIR TOGETHER. Hafia will join too in few days.
Previously Severin organized an solidarity event at the University of Vienna and collected 1000 Euro donations.
These will go to "Repair Together" via Global Giving to finance the reconstruction. If you want to support this wonderful initiative, which provides immediate help and gives hope, simply donate via Global Giving. Your donation will be doubled as long as the fund still has money available.
If you can, please support this amazing giving hope initiative!
Thank you to everyone who doesn't stop and continues to help! Every time I receive a message that our Antidrone system or car or radio sets saved lives, I thank you all again and again.
Unfortunately, we can't save everyone…
Since April 16, we have been waiting for a miracle and for news that Andriy Synyshyn, who went missing on April 16, will be found... back in early March, I corresponded with him and we sent him 470 for car repairs... But the worst happened. On Sep.13th we said goodbye forever to our friend, fellow artist. Andriy was the only son. He was only 27 years old. RIP.
May the murderers be punished both in heaven and on earth.
Dear friends!Thank you so much for coming!Thank you for your feedback and hugs! After the show, we raised 700 euros, which will go straight to:

- 300 Euro to Pen Ukraine for the collection for a car for the 128th Brigade
- 100 Euro to Oleksandr Zhuhan and Antonina Krym for the car reparation, after the last atack of russian drone
We're not stopping!
In Cologne the words of dear Lia Dostlieva Iryna Tsilyk Evgenia Nesterovych Ksenia Malych sound like formulas, like ritualistic incarnations.
Our friend - artist and philosopher Ralf Peters reads from the book "we who have changed“, which was published thanks to the tireless work of our friend, theater maker Stefan H. Kraft. Among those present is actress Anja Jazeschann who works with us on the play "Making the story" about Ukrainian fixers. And actor Bernd Bloemer, who in 2015 read the texts of Pavlo Yurov, after Pavlo's release from captivity. Today we collected 100 euros to support the resistance. Our friend, actress and photographer Monika Barth is asking for donations for Ukraine for her 80th birthday, we collected 180 euros. I come home and see that Adriana Bron from the Netherlands and Antje Sanegmeister have sent donations again. 200 euros.
