I'm losing hope in diplomacy quickly ending the war in Ukraine. Astrid sent me an email to the effect that the new Austrian Chancellor's talks with Putin did not go well/yielded no results. I was hoping against hope that some kind of at least tentative ceasefire could be achieved.
It seems unbelievable to me that I may just end out providing refuge for my relatives should Putin go further West with his carnage. I realize such may not be likely - but did anyone a year ago.think this was going to.happen? Rob
