Yes thanks. I did cycle there but it's only a few miles from home.

It's full of huge bumblebees. Hundreds of them in this one tree alone. It was their noise that made me stop and investigate.

Sign at Stuttgart station showing Ukrainian refugees where to get help and information. The horse is the symbol of Stuttgart, if you're wondering.

Currently Ukrainians have free travel on German railways and public transport; the way back to my apartment I was opposite a family with an son in his teens and a little girl going to another town where they have somewhere to live for now. If they'd not been speaking Russian I'd have thought they were German.

That is how support and help should work.

Indeed. I'm pretty impressed with how the local authorities are responding.

Puts me in mind of how in the nineties I was working for a German company and my manager was saying how Russians have a right to medical treatment in Germany as some part of the reparations of WW2. Is this still the case?

I don't know, to be honest. I doubt it's every Russian in Germany; some Russians and Russian Germans, or Russian Jews may be treated as a special case though.

I think it might have been the generation that went through the war as he used to say he'd see old ladies and men stepping off the plane to get their teeth done.

That's about right: Germany did take its reparations and responsibilities fairly seriously after the war, especially to groups targeted by NS.
