Things in Ukraine were going badly, the waitress at the sports bar on the Duomo understood that “from the thickening of the aids”. They are the American F16s taking off, the 31st Squadron, practicing or going who-knows-where, “and they’ve been increasingly active for weeks.” To the mayor Ilario de Marco A certain concern came to him about the acceleration of accidents in Kyiv when he saw requests for accommodation reservations by the American command for the base increasing at an unusual pace:Sign of the arrival of many soldiers”.
