Greetings from Kyiv.
Today, I’m in my favorite bookstore, full of life and sun.
My choice was a yellow book: 🇺🇦 Liubko Deresh, Peacemaker.
I need to read it first before recommending it.
Hope your day is gentle.

Just look at this room, the ceiling, and the chandelier.
I stood there in awe.
This is the Metropolitan’s House, an 18th-century architectural monument on the grounds of Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
In Kherson, the museum held 156 paintings and drawings by Oleksii Shovkunenko.
russians stole 147.
Only nine remained.
I saw them in Kyiv and wrote about how they survived — and why the story of the stolen collection is not over.

By the time I posted it, the air alert was over.
Greetings from Kyiv.
I invite you to join me for warcoffee.
It is another writing day.
Now coffee and the city outside.
Greetings from Kyiv.
It’s been raining all day long.
I need another colour besides grey.
So here is the first rose I saw this year.
A week ago, perhaps, on the grounds of St. Sophia.
Hope your week has started gently.
There is a Belgian Alley in the centre of Kyiv.
Recently, a sculpture by Oleksii Stepanov, “Ukrainian Shield,” was installed there.
Hands in the colours of the Ukrainian flag hold a Belgian house, a symbol of cosy Europe.
The hands are pierced by real bullets from the front line.
Kazymyr Malevych is one more Ukrainian name hidden under the russian label.
His rare early work, Head of a Peasant (1911), will be offered at Sotheby’s on June 24.
Estimate: £1–1.5 million (about $1.35–2 million).
I want the world to see where these names come from.
Kyiv.
A calm scene by the Dnipro River an hour ago.
An air raid alert now.
One or more drones over the city.
