I, like you, was struck by what happened. Russia is taking the lives of our brothers, friends, and children. There are actors in my family; I know some of the actors in this theater. For them, it is a shock from the closeness of the loss. Thank you for expressing what I also felt when I learned about Yuri's death.
Nastia, I had tears in my eyes reading this. These stories never cease to be sad and heart-breaking and I'm so fucking tired of Russia getting away with this. I've now heard too many stories from friends about losing loved ones and Ukraine shouldn't be losing its best and brightest, famous or otherwise. My condolences, and we can only hope justice will prevail. Whatever form that justice takes.

Слава Україні!
Making the Ukrainian war with the invader Russia personal makes it real. As John Donne wrote so very long ago…
“Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.”
I am profoundly sorry for your loss, Ukraine.
