I know it's tempting to go back to Kharkiv as everything you own is there, as well as your heart. You would only be swapping one lot of stress for another as obviously it's not safe. I'm hoping if/when you get a different job things might improve a little for you.

You are right, even my friend was telling me that it's not a good idea to risk life to go back to Kharkiv because it's not safe. Besides she was saying that you can return anytime so just wait because it's not a good idea to travel with the dog to the warzone again...
