But, whichever your preferred vowel, this oblast is oh, such a blast. Last night, the actual Russians (from Russia, that is) tried to take a town about fifteen kilometres away from where I am. They were repulsed by the Ukrainians, but the artillery fire, drones and bombs from just beyond the horizon gave me a bit of a sleepless night. Or maybe it was the food, which leaves a lot to be desired compared to Lviv or...
