Бо хто за що, а ми за незалежність. Отож нам так і важко через те.
August 24 - Independence Day in Ukraine 🇺🇦
This is how the day of 20 December began for residents of the Ukrainian capital. Mine also began with me getting out of bed to the sound of Russian missiles and calming frightened animals.
I don't like to talk about it, but there is still a war going on in Ukraine. It may seem that it is over, but it is not. Kyiv and the Kyiv region are under threat, so don't forget who Russia is, and there are drones flying overhead every night. Some people are used to sleeping under explosions, while others run to bomb shelters or the subway every night to hide from Russian drones.
Today my city came under rocket fire again. Three districts of Kyiv were attacked. In one of the districts there is a beautiful Gothic church of St Nicholas, which was damaged, as well as several historic buildings. In addition, six consulates and embassies were damaged. So do not forget who Russia is and its crimes against Ukraine, Georgia, Syria, etc.
The man crying in the video is Volodymyr Lohinov - a firefighter who chose the profession because he decided to follow in his father's footsteps. He is crying because the explosion in another area of the city has just killed his father, 52-year-old Vladyslav Lohinov. Both men were on duty when russians shelled the city.
russian recent tactic is to fire more missiles after the first responders come to rescue people after the first attack. They are doing that intentionally to kill people who are able to help and to save lives.
Watch it and realize that behind any number of casualties lies somebody's name, life, family, plans and desire to live. We are not just numbers somewhere in the news. We are people who are forced to survive under constant attacks. We are still here. We are people who lose their lives in terroristic attacks every goddamn day.
