“A guy I know bought 300 plane tickets for US guys, and they wanted to come and defend their land. In Russia, people fled mobilization, but here the situation is completely different.
We live in safety, there was only one rocket attack today. We even go to the bathhouse with the men. Everything will be fine in this country! Hello Moscow! – said Uvarov.
