Vlad, I was using openlayers when leaflet was released and have been following your career. Big fan, thanks for always pushing the limits.

Lots of love from Colombia, to you and your family.

My question is: How have you approached communicating to your kids the current situation? I have been trying to explain to mine what is going on and it is really hard to maintain a balance between educating them and scaring them.

We're trying to be honest but optimistic at the same time. E.g. there's this crazy villain Putin who's trying to destroy Ukraine, that's why we had to move to a safer place, but there's a very strong Ukrainian Army that heroically defends against the bad guys, and we will eventually win and come back. My girls are pretty strong-willed and aren't easily scared, so they've been doing pretty well through this ordeal.
