That would be horrendous to have to worry about both pervasive corruption and an active, years-long, war in your country. There've been rumblings of corruption in Zelenskyy's cabinet for years here in the U.S. but it's so difficult to know what to believe anymore. If you're saying it as I Ukrainian citizen then I believe it's true.
Some of the architecture there is incredible! I'd like to see it with my own eyes someday. I hope you and the family are well and keeping safe. I have a new book coming out, I'd be happy to send you a signed copy if you'd like!
