Are you within eyesight/earshot of the area, Viktor. I know Moscow is huge but I thought I'd ask. I used to be able to see for kilometers from an apartment years ago in Toronto. Any news greatly appreciated.

Stay safe fellow Freeper!

I hope you're a good distance from the action. And please keep feeding us whatever info you cull from Russian news sources. Translator programs don't seem to work well with Russian, and U.S. news outlets seem to be keeping this story in the background. Stay safe!
