I have a Ukrainian friend since like 2015, he is US citizen now. since last year they force smile and socialise less, just trying to stay busy with their kids.

It's so painful that I don't even know how to talk to him about this anymore. I just let him drive the conversation for most part. Most of the time, in the back of my head, I feel the pain of his family/relatives who have been displaced/disabled/dead.

I can't imagine losing your homeland to a cruel dictator.
