Why exactly are we paying for their war?
Ukraine's ski resorts have been busy this winter, mainly with locals seeking an escape from the violence of the Russian invasion.
The Covid pandemic caused the Hotel Leopolis in Lviv, Ukraine, to close for two months in 2020. Yet, since then, and a little more than a year after Russia invaded, the Leopolis has continued to be open for business without a pause.
The hotel’s management even decided to continue a renovation that began in 2019, completing it in the summer of 2022, at a time when air strikes were raining down on the city.
“We had to stop the renovation for a couple of months but, after discussing it with the owners, we decided to continue it to be ready when the war ends,” says General Manager Kateryna Matiushchenko.
This optimism isn’t unfounded. Even during the war, the occupancy rate of the 70 rooms at the Leopolis generally surpassed occupancy during much of Covid.
“January and February 2023 were not that bad,” Matiushchenko says. “Better than we planned, given the constant threat of massive attacks and electricity switch-offs.”
Since its opening in 2007, the Leopolis has been a popular hotel. Centrally located in Lviv’s Old Town, it sponsors an annual Leopolis Jazz Fest and is a favorite of those attending the Lviv Book Forum, Ukraine’s largest literature festival, as well as business travelers.

I have had several people stay at our hotel who were in San Diego to meet people coming into the USA through Mexico - Both Russians and Ukrainians. Russian men when this first started were the common ones coming in - not willing to fight or die in a civil war they did not support.Russian population drops to historic numbers amid war crisis and other factors

Ukraine Delivers ‘Devastating Blow’ To Russian Military In Crimea; Reports Say Level 4 Emergency Declared In Sevastopol
The development comes as intense combat rages in the eastern region of Ukraine, including Kharkiv. According to reports, several provinces in the region, including Kharkiv, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia, were hit by a massive barrage of missiles in the last couple of days.
The most intriguing and notable attack was against the Kharkiv Strizh repair plant because Ukraine has extensively deployed the Tu-141 Strizh to launch attacks on high-value targets inside Russia’s strategic depth.
