Thoughts from Kyiv — morning March 7, 2022
Keeping the faith is becoming increasingly difficult, but certainly not impossible. Pain comes from the realization that we stand alone.

Evil exists in pure form: in the motivations of a man who organizes the mass killing other human beings, the destruction of cities, hospitals, schools, homes. Pure Evil is identifiable, concentrated, powerful. However, Evil can also exist as a force that corrupts Good.
Yesterday was one of the most disappointing days in the past 10. We stand alone.
Russia is suffering from massive economic sanctions. We can rejoice in their hardship, but have we not made the situation worse?
Lately I’ve been feeling like Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in the Netflix movie Don’t Look Up. People read what I have to say, they agree, and yet the world continues to descend into disaster. “World War Three has already started.”
Putin’s attempted Blitzkreig can now be officially declared a Blitzfail.
Putin is a terrorist who is holding the world hostage.
Ukrainians will resist. Ukrainians will continue to mobilize and fight. This country may well descend into a Syria-like quagmire with massive insurgency operations, endless destruction and death. But Ukraine will resist. Ukraine will prevail.
The sad part of this story is that Putin started this war because he genuinely came to believe his own propaganda.
The most worrying scenario involves indiscriminate use by Russia of heavy rockets on Ukrainian cities. A chemical or nuclear option cannot be discounted if the war continues to go badly for Russia. Ukraine’s army and population will defend itself. Russia cannot occupy Ukraine. It can only destroy us. But in the process it will destroy the entire world.

Програми Культурного Хабу реалізуються завдяки потужності та обороноздатності Збройних Сил України, через волю, професійну і фінансову участь наших мемберів та інституційних партнерів з 2022 року: European Cultural Foundation, MitOst e.V., BBK Landesverband Bayern e.V., Київської Бієнале.
Ми також глибоко вдячні всім тим колегам — культурним дипломатам — із ким ще не знайомі особисто, але відчуваємо та цінуємо вплив вашої праці.
The programmes of the Cultural Hub are being implemented thanks to the power and defense capacity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, through the will, professional and financial participation of our members, as well as institutional partners since 2022: European Cultural Foundation, MitOst e.V., BBK Landesverband Bayern e.V., and Kyiv Biennial.
We’re also deeply grateful to all those colleagues — cultural diplomats — who we don’t know personally so far, but we feel and appreciate the impact of your work.
