Ask HN: Anybody in Ukraine or Russia?

There is no need to reiterate the news, but I was looking for some discussion on Hacker News. Therefore I'm going to ask, what is the atmosphere like, and wish strength to anybody directly affected by war.

Here in Estonia, a country bordering Russia, there just so happens to be independence day, and some people are feeling quite spooked, but of course, there is no war anywhere near here.

    @SecEvangelism (Chris Kubecka, the computer security researcher) has been reporting on Twitter[1] about her escape from Kiev to the Romanian border since the early morning hours (EEST).

    This is also where I learned about Project Dynamo[2]. It apparently is the organization that assisted her evacuation.

    I am not currently living in Poland, but I am going there to my family soon to stay there with them. My family lives near the border so it is frightening to see them being frightened of the war.♥

    I am kind of feeling spooked, because Putin hinted indirectly at launching nukes if there was interference.

    We border Ukraine via Black Sea.
