Kharkiv was the first Ukrainian city I did service in (in the 90's with YWAM in their Summer of Service mission). I have friends still in Kharkiv and a family that left for the sake of the children. "Tough as nails" is putting it mildly. Any time I have contact, they are of an encouraging demure. I call to encourage them, and they encourage me.
Hello Larissa,
Thanks for the update.

Hang in there - to victory!
"of an encouraging demure" -- точно!
Talk about resilience and determination. Just amazing. No capitulation. Ever. Stay strong. You will prevail. 🌷
OOPS! Not exactly the best use of "demure" - should have just used "attitude".
Slava Ukraiini!
