Despite all political differences i wish her a quick recovery. 🇺🇦
And you of all people know what it’s like.
She looks reasonably young and slim in the pic, so she should come out of it ok. Especially since the pestilence seems to be far worse for men. Oestrogen seems to act as a prophylactic, which is good news for fertile women.
It would be a welcome development if she has infected her husband and every other corrupt and/or pro-Ruskie politician in Kiev.
I can dream, right?
