Today I am leaving Ukraine, a country fighting for its freedom and independence

Today I am leaving Ukraine, a country fighting for its freedom and independence against the world’s three hegemonic autocrats Putin, Trump, and Xi. For a month I have been sharing the fate of its people, listening in bed to the nightly bombardments and seeing at daylight the destruction to houses, bridges, trains and other critical infrastructure. But I saw also how life defiantly continues in major cities like Kyiv, Poltava, and Vinnytsia. And I realized how topical my book “Ukraine is not yet lost” remains. But they need every support from their friends in Europe to survive yet another difficult and possibly decisive winter. If Europe fails to step up to the plate, the consequences are ours too.
