We found the town my great grandfather was born in by-the-way! Here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starokostiantyniv

Oh my!... You did it! It's a historical place. There is an old beautiful castle there - the residence of the Princes of Ostroh - one of the most famous Ukrainian princely families, who played an outstanding role in the history of Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland. There are also a military airfield and perhaps other important objects so Russia often target there with missiles.

I never heard that old saying but I like it, and agree. I succumbed to my feelings...
