The War in Russia and Ukraine is still continuing. And with it all the terror that comes with it. While a few days ago it looked like this could end soon, now I am not so confident anymore. I am so sorry for all the people in Ukraine. This is such a terrible event.
I hope that this war ends soon. That innocent lives are spared. That peace is coming back to Ukraine, Russian and all neighboring countries soon.
War is never helping anyone in the long term....
I wrote these lines a few days ago. It was in the shock of the start of the war. That shock endures. Everything changed since then.
While covid was the deciding factor for much that happened before it, now this war is. My country spend over 100 billion into military armament. While I think that it is much needed, since we didn't really take care a lot and didn't invest enough into our troops, it really is frightening.
And we are getting involved more and more. Not really on a military level, as far as I know, but more on a economical level.
I am also sorry for the people of Russia, that do not support this war. Most Russians probably are against that war. What is it good for?
Now they suffer of sanctations. It is far from the horrors that the Ukrainians have to live in, but most people in Russia have probably not thought that this war would happen, and now they suffer as well.
And so do we. Not directly, but prices are spiking. Inflation is rising. Gas prices are almost skyrocketing and sometimes even gas is out at some stations. I can live with that, it hurts but it is not really something that is as destructive as this war.
Also the fear of the expansion of the war is still there. I feel safer, than I did 10 days ago, but it is probably a false-safety. Who knows what will happen.
Even if the military actions end soon, the security infrastructure will change and the feeling of safety are gone. It took decades to build what is destroyed within a few days. Freedom is valuable, but we will probably sacrifice some of it for more security. I am not sure, if this is the world, I want to live in. But at least I am alive. At least I have not lost beloved ones in the war.
I am alive, but I am scared. And I hope this will end soon! #prayforpeace
