Kiev, London (25/3 – 50)

Kiev is being bombed by the Russians, but despite the dangers the indiscriminate bombing brings, Ukrainians have their humor, and a bit of the “so what” attitude. 

Let’s call her Maria, because we don’t know her correct name and we don’t want to endanger the young coffee aficionado to targeted Russian attacks targeting the Ukrainian spirit of everything can be fixed with a good cup of coffee. 

The young Ukrainian barista keeps working despite today’s Russian missile strike destroying large parts of her cafe. “They won’t be able to break us,” Maria tells the reporter with a smile pouring the coffee in the morning. 

The front window was broken by the blast and the shop a bit in a mess, but Maria worked cheerfully away. 

Putin’s terror campaign against the civilian population becomes more and more like Hitler’s war machine. And if the Russians must waste a million-dollar missile for taking out a window of a coffee shop they become more desperate. 

Maria serves the cup of black gold with a smile. She goes about the business of geopolitics just with no worries. They can’t break us is their way of living. Slava Ukrainia.
