Thanks Vitaly. I was always amazed when in Europe how many people had several languages at their disposal and it's harder often to find an American with even one additional langugage.
Wife & I have continued prayers for you & family.

Have we got forum members from Spain? Need their advice and may be some help.

Are you in Lviv? Any updates?
We are in Ivano-Frankivsk, not far from Lviv. Now russian air raids got even here… but surely it’s more quiet than on the East. Busy with volunteering and searching for a job in EU if we are to leave…

Take care! All my best goes to you, your family, and all of Ukraine.

That's good news that you are away from the center. Probably don't need to mention for you to stay clear of that airbase south of town.

Hi everyone. We are safe and well in Germany. Incredible Martin Schmidt and his unbelievable brother Stefan with their friends and families welcomed us and arranged everything for our living. We are literally now crying with my wife. Children cannot believe that it’s true, after these three weeks of horror. It’s unreal. Thank you! Two days of driving, and now we are here.

This is the best news I can imagine. I am so very happy for you all.

Vitaly we're very happy to hear that you and your family arrived safely to Germany. Kudos to Martin and his family and friends for their support. Keep us posted here if there's anything we can do to help you further.

Vitaly, this is truly an answer to prayer! So thankful that you and your family are safe, and as Danny said, kudos to Martin Schmidt, his brother, and their friends and families for getting you settled in Germany. Now you and Martin (and Ralf), need to do some jamming!

AUSGEZEICHNET !!! (with reverb)
Vitaly, yes, prayer answered. It is wonderful that your children will have a chance to understand that the past 3 weeks aren't how life is, but an aberration. Cry, smile, whatever. Deep breath and exhale.
This is such good news my man.

me, my brother, our girlfriends, wives and friends are happy that we could help Vitaly to escape from the warzone.
there will be a fundraiser/ crowdfunding to help for all future costs until things are back to „a sort of normal“ for Vitaly and his family. give me a few days to set it up...
all help is welcome. thanks for all the nice words about me and my brother, but this is not about us.
there‘s little we can do as individuals in this terrible situation, so it‘s good to do at least something.
Let‘s get united in the surf scene and help as good as we can!
