How are you? I'm glad we're now communicating via email, and I hope we can get to know each other better. I couldn't write to you in time because I was busy moving from my hometown of Kharkiv.
As I already told you, my name is Kristina. I live in Ukraine. My hometown is Kharkiv. It's quite a large and beautiful city. Have you been to Ukraine? But because of the war with Russia, I had to move to Kyiv with my family. Because Kyiv is safer than Kharkiv. Russian troops invaded my country. At first, I thought it was just some kind of joke and didn't think it would affect me. I distinctly remember the first few days of missiles landing on the Kharkiv region.
Tell me about yourself? I'd love to learn as much about you as possible. I was born in Kharkiv, I'm 34 years old, and my birthday is February 20th. I'm currently working as a kindergarten teacher. My aunt is the director of the kindergarten, and she got me a job there. I'm a nurse by training. What do you do for a living? What's your profession?
I live with my mother and sister at my aunt's. Do you live alone? I'm interested in meeting someone who would be interested in a serious relationship. What are you looking for? When was the last time you were in a serious relationship? I'm looking for a friend or something more than a friend. I've never been married.
I'm sending you my photo. I'd be happy to continue communicating with you and answer your questions. I'll be waiting for your response. And your photo. Kristina.

Thank you for your reply. I was happy to read your letter because I am very pleased and interested in learning more about you every day and hearing your opinion.
I believe that everyone should be completely honest and sincere with their friends and family. It's essential to listen to people's thoughts. It's also important to help with any problem that arises. Sometimes, simply being able to listen to someone and offering helpful advice in a given situation can make a huge difference in a person's life. Do you agree?
You're asking if I like running outside. Yes, I really enjoy running, especially early in the morning or late in the evening, when the city becomes quieter. At such moments, I can be alone with my thoughts, feel the rhythm of my breathing, and simply disconnect from the hustle and bustle. For me, running isn't so much a sport as a way to clear my head and recharge my batteries. Sport in general plays an important role in my life, although I can't say I do anything professionally. I love being active and try different approaches. Sometimes it's fitness, sometimes yoga, or stretching. It's important for me to feel my body and take care of it without fanaticism.
I've heard a lot about how Europe and America are helping Ukraine a lot. I believe my country can truly get out of this difficult and dangerous situation. I'm glad you're interested in my country, and I understand you're concerned about the situation there.
My people and I used to respect the Russians and never imagined they could treat us so vilely and rudely. Now we simply hate them; they're nothing but terrorists who want to usurp an independent country. And their president, Putin, is a barbarian who shows no mercy to the Ukrainian people and simply disrespects us. But unfortunately, many civilians have died...
I understand that Europe and America have now blocked all of Russia's bank accounts, but Russia is no longer supplying oil and gas to Europe and America. But these Russians are very stupid and don't understand that together we can overcome this and become completely independent from Russia.
Because it's no longer safe to even stay in Kyiv and because of the war in my country, I decided to leave Ukraine a long time ago. Right now, the only safe exit is from Kyiv to Poland, and from there, anywhere. But I haven't yet decided where to settle and live. I'm still thinking about it. I'm a Christian and sometimes go to church, but I'm not superstitious or overly obsessed with it. What about you? What faith do you practice?
I was also pleased to learn about your interests. Thank you for sharing your story. I currently live with my mother and sister. My father left our family when I was little. But my mother told me that my father would show up a few years later to apologize, but my mother wouldn't accept his apology, and it finally ended their relationship, and he went off to fight in Donbas. My mother tried to do everything for my sister and me.
I don't drink or smoke. I can have the occasional glass of wine or champagne on New Year's or my birthday. Because, as I already said, I often play sports and enjoy active recreation. I only allow myself a drink on special occasions. What's your opinion on smoking and drinking?
I'll be waiting for your answer.

Kristina!

Thank you for such a warm and sincere letter. Every time I see your name in a message, it makes me smile. I'm also very pleased that our dialogue continues and deepens. I feel a real understanding is developing between us, and that's very valuable to me. I agree with you: it would be wonderful to try talking in real life in the near future. I think a live conversation would allow us to connect even better.
I think the internet is an amazing space that can connect people from different countries, cultures, and worlds. Thanks to it, we can communicate despite distance, sharing thoughts, dreams, and experiences. Of course, the internet has its challenges, but it all depends on how a person uses it.
I know I can travel from Kyiv via Poland. And I used to think about staying in Europe, for example, in Poland. Unfortunately, traveling from Ukraine via Poland is now much more difficult. Because the government is doing everything possible to prevent people from leaving Ukraine. Because Zelenskyy even officially stated that if people leave Ukraine, there will be no one to defend the cities. But most of all, this is due to NATO support. If fewer people remain in Ukraine, there would be no NATO support. Now I deeply regret not having made every effort to leave Ukraine at the beginning of the war, when it was easy and hassle-free.
I believe that communicating online only helps us get to know each other better. But we don't feel each other, not the touch of skin. The sound of our voices and our breath. Only after meeting can we feel this, but now we are friends who can discuss and talk about anything.
When I was in Odesa in 2021, I met two female tourists from Europe. And when we talked, they told me they couldn't date older men. And that they were used to controlling men and even wanted to teach them. But I was surprised by this. And I said that it's more pleasant if a man is older and more experienced, and he teaches you, shows you a lot of new things, and shares his experience. I didn't know before that, for example, in Europe, women have different thoughts and different moral principles. And now I think that Eastern European women like it when a man is older. I think this works even from a young age. I remember never being attracted to my classmates. I liked guys who were two or three years older than me when I was in school. But unfortunately, boys at that age weren't interested in girls younger than them either. But after 20, I think age boundaries are already blurred and it doesn't matter what age. What matters is how experienced and intelligent your partner is. Do you agree with me? And most importantly, how well you are suited to each other. I have never had sex with a person or friend I don't know well. I can have sex and love with a person only if I have sincere feelings for that person. And that's why I believe that we can only discuss intimate topics after we meet. What do you think about this?
I consider myself a very romantic, and I'm sure you'll see it when we meet. I've always dreamed of waiting for my loved one to come home from work, cooking something delicious, and having a romantic dinner with wine and candlelight. Do you like that? Andreas, we've only met recently, but I have a good feeling about this. As for music, I listen to different things, depending on my mood. Sometimes it's calm melodies, sometimes something more energetic. I like contemporary artists, but classical music also resonates with me. In films, I appreciate deep meaning and strong emotions. I enjoy dramas, romantic stories, and sometimes light comedies, just to relax and smile.
Tell me about your daily routine? What do you usually do during the day? And how do you like to spend your weekends?
When do you have vacation? Will you spend it in your city or go to another city or country? Have you had a vacation yet this year? I'll be waiting for your next letter and a reply to mine.

Lots of kisses, Christina.
