Latiks Shares Harrowing Evacuation Story from Kharkiv to Poltava


Latiks, a Ukrainian man, shared his harrowing experience of evacuating from Kharkiv to Poltava on March 31, 2022. His father drove him to the train station in Kharkiv, where he boarded an evacuation train to Poltava.

Evacuation from Kharkiv

Latiks described the evacuation train as prioritizing children, women, and the elderly, with men standing if there were no seats available. He felt a sense of calm and safety upon arriving in Poltava, noting the clean air and lack of explosions. Life in Poltava seemed normal, with shops, pharmacies, and other establishments open and functioning.

Parents' Decision to Stay

Latiks' parents initially refused to evacuate from Kharkiv despite his insistence, fearing to leave their home and comfortable life. He is now staying with his grandmother in Poltava and playing poker to raise money for Ukraine.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
