Don’t write about the war to me: Just answer: is there a garden near? Do snails crawl on grass and do you hear cicadas singing, grasshoppers flee? Ukrainian soldier replies to daughter’s letter with a poem

Pavlo Vyshebaba, a Ukrainian eco-activist, musician, and entrepreneur, comes from Kramatorsk — a city that has been one of the war hotspots in the Donetsk region. He has been defending Ukraine in the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the war outbreak. He shares his feelings towards ongoing events and separation from the family through poems he writes and publishes on his Instagram account.

The touching poem he wrote as an answer to his daughter’s letter has already been translated into 10 languages in just one week.
