Our first night in Kyiv, sleeping, or trying to, in the hallway of our apartment building because of multiple air raid alerts through the night.
We knew that coming to Kyiv would give us a better sense of this senseless war. And we anticipated air raid alerts on our first night, since Russia has been indiscriminately bombing for the previous two nights. We even had alerts in the early morning hours in Lviv. Is it Putin’s design to disrupt everyone’s sleep enough to make us all zombies during the day? These people are tough; they’re still ready to return a smile. I will learn from them.
Our view for the night
Our home for three weeks. An historic 1910 with thick walls.
