"This Saturday morning I could have spent with my children at the playground or at the cinema. Instead, after 10 hours in a bomb shelter due to a massive air attack on Kyiv, I came to my son’s school to collect the shattered glass",Veronika Velch said

No bullshit.
No pretence.
No ego.
No lies.
No violence.
No AI.
No scams.
No sides.
