In Kharkiv every single day, despite the weather and threat of glide bombs, these oldies gather for a dance❤️
It reminds me of an old Ukrainian proverb.
Страх смерті позбавляє простої радості життя
The fear of death takes away from the simple joy of living🥰

When the Russian government paper features headlines like “Panic attack for Russia’s currency market” you know there’s a problem. Today’s Russian papers focus on the falling rouble. One paper notes that “news from the currency markets resembled reports from a war zone.” #ReadingRussia

Today’s Russian papers on today’s economic problems in Russia: “Butter 30% more expensive than last year…price of potatoes up 65%.” Plus, the rouble falls past 100 against the dollar & “Chinese banks tighten checks on payments…” #ReadingRussia
