I would hate to be in your position I don't know what I would do.

And thread which you opened before how you offer learning Russian does not help either :1orglaugh

And also, do you do UX design ?

Quick comment ...

I had to look up Kommisar, to confirm its meaning.
From public perception, for sake of business, I do agree with the others that you may want to consider replacing the nickname and avatar.

Maybe you are Russian, who was living or born in Ukraine. It is in your best interest to keep a low profile, and do not openly advertise yourself as Russian. "Strangers" are very divided, and some are dangerously stupid. However when choosing your community, and the people you are going to socialize or do business with, do not hide who you are. Carefully choose to be around those people who are tolerant and in fact open minded right now, during this crisis, as to not hate all Russians.

Recently I was at a restaurant in California, with half the clients Russians and the other half Ukrainian. Here there was common support for one another. However in another group, a few older Russians living in the USA came out in support of Putin. They have a right to their opinion, but WTF. They are living fantastic life in the USA, and can be brainwashed by their choice of media, CNN, FOX, RussianTV, etc. And they without shame openly told everyone there position on the invasion. Very fast they became isolated small group. Honestly its good for everyone. No reason to hate, but I believe that you should only keep friends, family and business partners who have a similar opinion as your own.

Okay back to work!

Thanks everyone for the info, I'll take it into account. Regarding Mexico, it’s probably not worth it right now to fly so far for a long time, moreover, I doubt that it will be possible to get through to the embassy of our country there, and also at least get some kind accommodation there. Mexico is cool for Digital nomads but not for Ukrainian refugee IMO :)

As for people who do not understand what is happening, I do not see much sense for myself to explain something to them. Apparently their brain is already so leaked with poison that these are irreversible changes.

If you can work with your hands construction, installing solar panels etcetra. There are plenty of jobs now in Holland. Also ICT mustn't be a big problem, everyone speaks English and international orientated. And bars and restaurants also need all the help they can get. For now, when there is a crisis these alcohol business go bancrupt first. Housing is the problem.

And for sure i wouldn't let my family and children go alone to Europe, in a refugee camp with young Syrian and Afghan men and former IS military. I would have left also, not want to die for someone elses dreams or stupidity and political mess.

Mexico and Brazil are great if you work online of have capital to invest. I would make sure i was around the EU to be able to get EU residency first if i was with a family. But hurry, i think housing will be a problem in whole Europe soon. In Greece there are refugees in camps for years.

Can you qualify as a refugee, when in theory you were not allowed to leave the country?

your concern is right, to be honest those ukraine ambassadors in europe are so encroaching , that as a ukraine male i would be afraid that one given day ,they send males back to the conflict zone in uniform......hower atm moment no western eu country is refusing male ukraines

Thanx for detailed information man, it will help a lot to make the final decision!

Yup, I know )
So now I changed it to a picture of my cat using the human's toilet bowl :winkwink:

From one old man to another ... :helpme

Happy Birrrrrthday :pimp:banana:hitit:GFYBand:kisskiss

Sad, but true...

Thanx man :thumbsup

I hope no one won't go through an experience like that...

Yep )))

Yes, I do.

I was choosing my online identity and branding about 20 years ago.
Seems, that it's time to renew it ;)

I'm not this kind of guy...
My hands used to press buttons on keyboards and cameras )))

Today isn’t my birthday :upsidedow

But thanx in advance, I'll keep your greeting till the right date )))

OMG, I meant to post this in a different thread for Colin, as FB notification stated it was his birthday today.

Well in advance, Happy Birthday to you as well.

Your best bet for now is to try and move to Czech and work online from there. Rent for an apartment in a small village around Prague is not expensive and government even helps you with that. I think they are giving 400 euro/ month for 3 months.

Dunno how much truth there is in this but supposedly a law was introduced in UA that any male that left the country during war will face 5-10 years in prison if they return.

Thanks! )

Yep, seems that I'll stick to this option :thumbsup

Yep. If they will return.

I was lucky enough to remain alive when the missile came to my home.

Should I test my fate again and give my life to the government, defending a home I don't have anymore?

If you're going to go to CZ, may as well stay in Poland really

Poland is the perfect option, but Czech is more adult-business oriented ;)

And they might even expect that you keep paying the mortgage of that house when you return.
CZ or Poland sounds easiest choice for the moment.

I've lived here in Poland many years and never had any problems with my adult business

Is it legal in Poland?

Yeah of course. Only child porn (under 15), bestiality and rape porn is illegal.
