From: Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (1009th day)
Wishing all our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your hearts are overflowing with gratefulness, for that’s the true measure of your happiness, and you do have so MANY more reasons to be thankful than you can even imagine!
On 1009th day of ruzzian invasion we are thankful for being alive! Every one of these 1009 days we wake up remembering that life is a gift. During last night and early morning, ruzzians attacked Ukraine with almost 100 drones followed by 91 missiles. Air raid in Kyiv lasted 9,5 hours. 35 drones and 76 missiles were shot by our defense (we are grateful!), but some hit targets and caused further damage to our energy infrastructure. As a result we don’t have power most of the day, but we are thankful for 3 hours when we did get electricity that allowed us to cook food and do dishes. We are grateful our home is warm, central heat is still functioning. We can still play with Briana and read her books using flashlights – she doesn’t mind at al!. We are incredibly grateful to our defenders who stand between us and the invaders who bring to our land destruction and death. We are thankful for the resilience and determination of our people. We are also grateful for all our friends worldwide who continue to pray for us and support Ukraine.
May your thanksgiving be daily! Ours has been – especially during the war.
