How are you today? It is a great pleasure to receive your letter. Thank you very much for your attention. With each letter, we get to know each other better. Today I watched another speech by our president, and again there was not a single word about when he plans to end the war.
I have been thinking a lot lately about leaving Ukraine. I need to go to western Ukraine to cross the border with Poland, and then I would like to come to you if that’s okay with you. From Poland, there are free buses for refugees that can take you to any city in the EU. You only need a passport to travel to the EU. Also, there is the nearest international airport in Poland. As you know, no airports in Ukraine are working — they were destroyed during the war. Civilian flights are banned in Ukrainian airspace.
I plan to travel with my friend, who often takes people to the border with Poland. Right now, there is a shortage of gasoline in eastern Ukraine. The government needs peaceful people to stay in their places, as it is seen as a guarantee that Russia will not bomb areas where civilians live. My friend said he could take me to the border by car, but he needs to buy fuel. Gasoline here costs about 2 euros per liter, and it's also very hard to find in our region.
I know my friend well — we studied in the same class in school. He has helped many people before, but he himself cannot leave Ukraine. His father is paralyzed from a mine explosion, and he takes care of him. Also, according to Zelensky's law, men under 60 are not allowed to leave the country. People who try to flee risk being shot.
To reach the west of the country, I need 360 euros for fuel — two-way travel, since he has to return. Another 40 euros is for food and accommodation. The journey will be long, with many damaged roads, and I'll have to cover about 1,200 km. In total, I'll need 400 euros. This is the safest way to get to the border. I don't want to risk public transport — we're often warned on TV to avoid trains, buses, shopping centers, and crowded places. There are frequent terrorist attacks, and drones constantly drop bombs.
Right now, 400 euros is a huge amount for me. I haven’t had a job for a long time, and I don’t know what to do. I feel ashamed and uncomfortable asking for help, but I have no choice — I’m in a difficult situation. Before the war, I had a good job and was saving money for an apartment. But when the war started, I lost my job and had to use my savings just to survive. Unfortunately, nothing is left of them. I’ve always been independent.
Of course, you don’t have to help me in this moment. I’m asking you to lend me the money, and I promise to return it, because I don’t want to owe anything. If you want, I can write you a receipt stating that I am obligated to return the money. I know that Ukrainian refugees abroad receive financial support, and as soon as I get it, I’ll return the money immediately. I also want to actively look for work — I hate being idle.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to come closer to you. I trust you very much, and besides you, I don’t have any friends abroad. I believe that meeting in person would mean more than thousands of letters. I want to build a real relationship with you. I’ve always been honest and open with you — I would never ask for money under normal circumstances. But right now, I’m in a tough situation, and it seems I will have to leave the country.
I would love it if you could visit me. I would show you how beautiful Ukraine is. I think we could visit Ukraine together once peace returns. I’m sure everything will be fine. I dream of a real, deep love. I believe it’s fate that we met. Real relationships are born in such times. I will always remember your help and be forever grateful to you. You have the chance to save at least one Ukrainian person. Right now, I’m counting on your help. I’ll be waiting for your reply.
Your Diana
