Title: PurpleVit
Post by: Greens on March 04, 2022, 01:56:58 PM
Hello friends, don't know how many of you remember me (Hi Neko :) ) but I used to post often when I used to read comics and as such many of us have become friends over the years.


Anyway, many of you are friends with PurpleVit and as you may know, Ukraine is being invaded by Putin right now and things are very difficult for the Ukrainians. PurpleVit and his family are from Ukraine. He wanted me to post his regards to Anya, Neko and you all really. Things are rough and tough right now over there so I ask please keep him and his family in your prayers (no offence meant if irreligious).


Heard from him today and the situation is bad so, if okay, remember him in your thoughts and prayers.


Thank you,
Greens

Hello Greens,
I have not heard from him but I do see him do 'likes' on twitter. That is the most I got. I'll send him a tweet and get back.
And yes, in my prayers and thoughts. :)

N
Edit: I did a search. He's hasn't been here since Feb 22nd and Twitter Feb 26th. I still tweeted him since I'm sure he uses his phone for that. Hoping for all the best.
Thanks for the update, I totally mis-read but got it now. I'll call it an age thing

Hi Neko, it's good to speak with you again. I maintain you are the nicest and most accommodating site owner I know online  :)

Thanks for the update on Purplevit. I noticed I hadn't seen him posting at CBR or here for a bit and thought maybe he was unwell. Totally blanked he was from Ukraine. Thanks to the magic of the internet many of us 'know' people from various places around the world, and can even call some of them friend. It makes time like these that much harder. 'Vit is in my prayers as well as all the people of Ukraine.

Edit: I did a search. He's hasn't been here since Feb 22nd and Twitter Feb 26th. I still tweeted him since I'm sure he uses his phone for that. Hoping for all the best.Thanks for the update, I totally mis-read but got it now. I'll call it an age thing

He's since retweeted something from March 3rd and logged in without posting at CBR on March 4th.

I feel like a stalker.  :)

LOL - he's a good guy, we can't help ourselves. And I'm glad you caught that, it means he's somewhere and I hope he is safe. Stalk away as far as I'm concerned. LOL

Hello everyone and thank you all for kind words and support.
Situation in Ukraine is very bad but army is doing best what they can.
Finally took back my wife from hospital and transported her to a place that right now is safe.
Hoping for better but ready for worse. This monsters from russia are bombing people, schools, hospitals, everything.
Ukraine really need no-fly zone but it seems nobody will help with it.


I can't be online often. Thank you all for support, friends.

Thank you All for kind wishes.


We are near Kyiv. Land near us is free from russian orcs.
Here main danger is rockets but we in place with no importance for bombing.


Main war is now on East side of Ukraine. Completely terrifying things happened there and continue to be happening. Thousands of wonen are raped, men are tortured with bound hands and then shot in head. russian monsters are using portable crematorias to hide bodies of ukrainians. There are graves with thousands of ukrainian civillians. 150 000 of ukrainian kids are separated from parent and moved by force to russia. russia made law that they allow on official level to kidnap kids from Ukraine to russian families.


 It is a genocide.

Sounds awful.  I hate it.  How people can be so terrible and inhumane I will never understand.


 So glad you are okay, Purplevit! Stay safe.

Thanks for posting again Purp. I also read on your Twitter about your short-story getting selected for the Sci-Fi Romance Anthology, that's great to hear.
Stay safe, my thoughts are with you and your family, and the people of Ukraine.

So good t hear your safe Purplevit! The news here has been talking about some of the awful stuff that’s happening. It sucks that you and your country have to go through this.
Title: Re: PurpleVit
Post by: NicoPony on April 24, 2022, 11:47:29 AM
World leaders are delirious if they think a monster like Putin will just give up and go home, or if they think he’ll stop with Ukraine.


I’m glad to hear you are keeping strong in spirit. If there are charitable causes you favor, please let us know.

Thank you all for your kind wishes.
We returned to Kyiv today. Can't believe that more than 100 days passed since war started.
We and all Ukrainians ate grateful for USA support and can't wait when lend-lease will finally arrive. Weare grateful to all people and all counties for support. Without all you, support and weapons Ukraine won't be able to stand against russian monsters.
Main war is at East of Ukraine now.
Air alarm is a new normal part of life in Kyiv and most regions.  We even have Alarm app now that tells when people should hide from rockets.

40% of ukrainians lost their jobs due to war. Mineis mostly on hold too because noone needs logistics operations for new cars when your country is on war. We have 6 people per 1 weapon listed so I am not mobilized yet. I am a financist.


Had opportunity to write and draw 2 short stories (10 and 8 pages) that got accepted to 2 different comics antologies.
Probably their campaigns should start later this year.


It helped me to upgrade some skills:)

Thank you, friends. I am fine.
When Monday bombing started took my family to undeground metro station.
Our army managed to destroy 43 from 83 rockets that russian orcs sent.


Air alerts are all the time resent day. Peple can get used to good stuff and to bad too.
We are calm. People are ready and know what to do in such situations and even in case of nuclear strike.


Thank you all for support, friends.

So nice to hear you are okay Purp. As okay as one can be in this nightmare.

I can't fathom why anyone would do what Russia(or to be more precise: the Kreml) is doing. Even without the immense pile of problems the world have they want to invade Ukraine. It's insane and cruel.

I hope this can end soon.

It is not just Kreml or Purin`s war. Most russians are supporting it.
I know it sounds crazy for normal people, but it is the truth.

Today woke up again from explosions. Now it was Iranian kamikaze drones that russia bought from Iran.

Ukraine is winning this war. russian orcs can`t do any success on battlefront and they must retreat that is why russia is bombing Ukrainian civilians.
Ukraine never wanted this war, but we will win it. We are grateful for the support of all people and your governments.
