Your family was here with you at that moment?
Yes. We all have families. Were human beings. And we had to make some fast decisions. As of this moment, I think the decisions we made, some on purpose and others by accident, were right.
Yes, were still sitting here.
Have you ever driven at high speed?
It happens.
I also went through that age at the wheel. And at that moment, at high speed, in the dark its a question of focus. If you get distracted with someone running in front of the windshield, flashing lights, screaming, waving their hands
if you let any of that distract you, your chances of reaching your destination are low. Not quite zero, but very low.
Here it was roughly the same. It was necessary to focus on the main things. What do we need to do right now, how to organize, and most of all, to stay united? I think that, before the invasion, our society was in some ways divided. We were not a clenched fist. And then we were. I think thats very important. They outnumber us by a lot. So we just needed to be a unified whole. That is our only chance.
