    This is insane. I went to Rostov-on-don like 15 years ago. It was my first time out of the country, too. I had college friends from there and I stayed at their house.

    I’ve really lost touch with them many years ago. I’m hoping their families are safe. I know one of them is still in the states, I’m think one went back to Rostov. I guess I hope he is not there at the moment.

      Word is there was little/no fighting in Rostov. Wagner seems to have taken down a couple Ministry of Defense helicopters there.

        Thanks, I woke up in the morning to see that everything seems to have settled. I was expecting it to be a warzone.
