Hi! Despite the attacks, I'm fine, but I'm gutted and devastated over Russia exploding the dam. It flooded so many territories, so many animals are dead and dying, so many people can't get out.

A few days before blowing up the dam, the Russians took away all watercraft from the residents of Oleshki.
“The family in temporarily occupied Oleshky was rescued, thankfully. I posted earlier that they were begging for help and our Defenders were
