“In #Ukraine, we say: one hard winter is better than 100 years of slavery, and 100 years with #Russia,” says Eugene Geresymchuck. 

He is one of the millions of #ukrainians who are living under Russia’s nearly constant bombardment.
Eugene lives in the central Ukrainian city of #zhytomyr  --about 85 miles west of Kyiv.
And it’s one of the dozens of cities attacked in recent weeks.  #russian rockets and drones -- struck that city’s power supply plant.   
Eugene is a  journalist like I am … We first met in 2015 when I visited him in Zhytomyr.  He visited the United States that same year.  We have stayed in touch over the years through social media -- and we reconnected this year after the start of the war.  I spoke to him this (Oct. 27, 2022) week about the recent attacks and how his city is preparing for the cold winter ahead.

“One hard winter is better than 100 years of slavery, and 100 years with Russia,”
