"Dear Mr. Stephen Lawson,

Thank you for your worries! We are safe and work as usual, but situation in Ukraine is very difficult and tense, I think from what you say the mass media is telling the truth. . .

Best regards from Kiev,

I have received a kit via Airmail from seller in Ukraine 3 days ago (shipped about the time of the worst riots) and it has arrived safely and quickly...

For whatever it's worth (though I was initially worried)

Hi there

That's good news. I've also heard from Rest Models that they are safe and sound, far from - but very concerned about - the situation in Crimea.

All the best

The situation in Kiev like in all parts of Ukraine is and work is as usual. It's all about Crimea, where russian government tries to destabilize the situation, to split and own it. However, in russian tv they say like in Ukraine russian people are hanging on trees (almost)

Apparently the EU, Kyiv, and the West as a whole are ultra-right wing blood thirsty bandits.

And the exceedingly democratic and open Government of Russia must stand steadfast against such dangerous fascist nationalism...

The Russian and Ukrainian forces still haven't fired on each other, which seems like a miracle. All we can do is hope for a sensible and peaceful resolution.
