[AT] Ukraine, very short update

[Spencer Yost]

Rather than approve the large picture it I forwarded to me and then cut it down to size so it didn’t overwhelm anyones mail box.  A break to soak up spring is well  deserved Mattias.  Keep us up-to-date .  

ABBA’s song title “Take a chance on me” seems apropos - in so many ways - at this moment(it’s one of the few I know. They were popular here but I was more into Marshall Tucker and Allman Brothers at the time (-;)
