Hello My name is Michael.

I’m in  I’m half Ukrainian by blood and have been 3 times. I was actually looking to answer someone’s question about how to get to Kiev… fly into Poland in Western Ukraine, it’s a ghost town going the other way… Ukraine has suspended all needed  visas to get in due to the war. If your a Ukrainian male 18-60 and enter you will not be allowed to leave. I’m a really young man who met my ex wife in film school who is Ukrainian. The first time I went was when the war started 8 years ago. I was there in an advisory role teaching volunteer battalions urban combat and marksmanship, I was embedded with the Donbas Battalion. I have many family members and friends there. They sent me an airline ticket and it’s at the St. George Orthodox Church, I am so torn. Reason bring my cousin was KIA on the 24th of last month. He wasn’t a soldier but the equivalent of a JAG lawyer who would find deserters and bring them back to the front line, I guess it finally caught up with him. I cried myself to sleep for 2 weeks straight. When I got the call from the Ukrainian MOD I was  asked back and my answer was I don’t want to kill Ukrainian Rebels. Then I was asked what it would take to get me there and I replied RUSSIAN boots on Ukrainian soil, well they’ve been there for 9 days now… My friends knew I was gearing up to go and they decided to call every one of my family members in the states. Needless to say my phone wouldn’t stop ringing. What finally got to me was my 91 year old grandma begging me in tears to promise here I wouldn’t go and fight, so I did. Now I’ve made 2 promises and I’m so torn because I’m a man of my word, I feel helpless. I called my grandmother back after speaking with the MOD again. I assured her I wouldn’t return in an advisory role because an advisory role turns into a combat role the moment your shot at. I did however tell her that my soul is being pulled there. I did however remind her that I have a masters Degree in feature film and documentary film with all the gear I need except a blue ballistic vest, helmet and press patches. The world needs to see what’s happening their. I also spoke to the MOD about volunteering at an orphanage for children that have lost their parents in the conflict which resonates with my character more which is in the South East of Ukraine. I am contemplating spending at least a month their. I have some really good people behind me who actually have enough connections to place some of these children which regrettably I didn’t even think about. I feel helpless at the moment but I know what I must do and it will be done. Thank you all for listening.

SLAVA UKRAINE! UKRAINE SLAVA!

Hello if you truly feel this way feel this way in your soul, please come… fly to Poland “ it’s open “ and walk across the border. If they ask you tell them the truth, that your a doctor wanted to save Ukrainian lives. Make your way to a restaurant in Lviv called the Kryivka, tell them your a doctor and tell the owner “ Velyka Laska “ sent you…

Slava Ukraine,

Mando
