The capital has been under this massive missile attack – I woke
up myself to very loud explosions.
Residents have experienced drone attacks almost every night in
the Ukrainian capital since October, but this latest attack was different as it
involved missiles.
Everything is disrupted when there’s massive missile attacks on
Ukrainian cities.
People don’t know if it’s possible to follow their schedules,
children don’t go to school – unfortunately, it repeats again and again.
Right now, we have emergency power cuts in Kyiv – we don’t know
how long it’s going to last.
Many have their own power generators or portable
power stations, that can allow you to charge your devices, to cook, to warm up a
little.
Ukraine heavily depends on generators for industry, schools,
hospitals, all critical infrastructure as well as households – and it really
helps.
