Two weeks of war. Only two previous nights were quiet, but only here in Kyiv. In many other cities and towns the russians are bombing maternity hospitals, residential blocks and schools, mining evacuation corridors and shooting civilians who try to escape. Over 60 children have been killed. We are facing the absolute evil, and it looks like the struggle will continue for a long time.
But we are resisting, even people in the occupied regions. Yesterday my parents attended a demonstration in my hometown, one of many in the invaded territories where people show the occupiers that they are not welcome here. 

Soon there will likely be a massive attack on Kyiv, and I’m not planning to leave my place for the next week. My main objective is to survive. A piece of advice to you all: enjoy life while you can, do the things you’ve always been meaning to do, buy the stuff you’re hesitant about, tell people the things you’re nervous to tell them. Millions of Ukrainians can no longer do those things, so go ahead while you still can.
