I can hear the Ukrainians crying. A Conversation with Lukasiewicz

– Ambassador, if an average Pole would like to visit Kiev present or go to Lviv, what hazard must he have?

– If individual is simply a businessman or volunteer – a individual curious in helping another people, then Ukraine is indeed the place to be today. There are thousands of possibilities to scope out to people in need, but the last category of people I would encourage to come is tourists.

– What's the war like? I'm asking you as a diplomat, but besides as a soldier in the rank of a reserve colonel.

- Fascinating and scary at the same time. We live in the digital age. 1 night there was an alarm and I was sitting in the basement. I watched on my smartphone the launch of Russian Tu-160 aircraft from Engels airport. The Telegram application publishes information based on military data published by Ukrainian MON. After a while, word came in about the launch of 2 Kindzarz maneuvering missiles. I live close to the power plant and after 10 – 15 minutes, I can hear these 2 rockets flying over my head. A second later, I hear 2 explosions and the light goes out.
