“When I think about Ukraine, this picture comes to mind. Young kids hanging out at the beach in Odessa, while the Russians invade Crimea. Ukraine is a beautiful country with amazing people full of courage and energy, most of them kind to me and ready to help me to do my work. Spring in Ukraine is colourful and the fields are full of life. Today, the freedom of the entire planet is threatened. It only remains to be seen how the rest of the world will react to what may be the worst dilemma we have ever faced.”
