It's not too late to take a skiing holiday in Ukraine
« on: April 01, 2025, 12:18:40 PM »
Just ran across an interesting bit of news about Ukraine that I haven't seen mentioned in the MSM. Ukraine has a number of ski resorts and they are currently active in the middle of the war. Not only that Ukraine is building a new mega sized ski resort in the middle of its war with Russia.

Since the new ski resort and other currently operating resorts are near the border with Poland most of the guests must be from that general area. Maybe some Russian guests getting in a bit of skiing?

If Ukraine is having trouble finding soldiers perhaps they should raid the ski resorts for conscripts? You've got to be in good shape to ski so there should be lots of healthy males there. Might even find some Russians there.
