Hi. I have a 20-year-old daughter. Recently she met this Russian guy online and they started dating. On Thursday she flew to Istanbul (from our city of Bucharest); on Friday from Istanbul to Moscow. She didn’t tell us she was going to Russia. We found out after she was already there. Since yesterday I can’t stop worrying given the whole situation in the region.
I agree that the internet might not be the best place to share your fears. At the same time though Russia is a country at war and doesn’t seem to be very friendly to foreigners at the moment. I’m not sure if that suggests a deeper issue than a caring parent being understandably worried about their daughter.
