As of today, 27 people have been confirmed dead.

At least 11 people were killed in Kyiv tonight by Russian drones and missiles. It could’ve been any Ukrainian you know — it could’ve been me.

Even in the third year of this war, it still hits me: I can go to sleep and never wake up.

The air defense is going wild tonight — my windows are shaking from the blasts echoing the buzz of drones.

Meanwhile, I’m just here sipping tea and studying French because, you know… Ukrainians.

Can someone please ban thunder in Ukraine? I’ve nearly had a heart attack five times this week.

It’s awful how war has become so intertwined with our daily routines, to the point where we treat it like an inconvenience instead of the crime against humanity that it really is.

Drones are flying over Kyiv and another airstrike is expected tonight, but honestly, I’m just annoyed that I had to stop my French homework to take cover — and I’ll probably have to skip my 7AM gym class to get some sleep.

People who say they love stepping out of their comfort zone when they travel should try going from Ukraine to any European country by bus or train. It’ll take you over 20 hours, involve endless border checks, and offer zero comfort.

You hold your breath when a drone gets close, and let out a sharp breath of relief when it passes by.

One of the worst feelings in the world is sitting on the floor in complete darkness, listening to the buzzing of drones, followed by explosions — trying to figure out if your building, your neighborhood, might be hit next.

Problem avoidance is when, instead of going to the bomb shelter, you just shut the windows so the explosions don’t sound as loud — because you’re so tired of being sleep-deprived all the time.

It’s Saturday evening. I was stuffing dried lavender into empty wine bottles when I got a notification about Kinzhal missiles heading toward Kyiv. Seriously, Russia — stick to your schedule. No missiles before midnight. You’ve already ruined my sleep, don’t ruin my day too.

Russia releases REvil members after convictions for payment card fraud Four convicted members of the REvil cybercrime gang were released from custody after being sentenced in St. Petersburg for offenses related to payment card fraud.

A Russian court sentenced several members of the notorious REvil ransomware gang to five years in prison but let them walk free right after the verdict, saying they had already spent enough time behind bars while awaiting trial.

Thank you, Kevin🙏🏻

What a terrible night in Kyiv…again

Another night sleeping on the floor, listening to the sound of dozens of drones flying toward Kyiv and wondering if you’ll make it through. The air raid alert hit just as I was drifting off, and it’s too late and too cold to run to the shelter now. Just hoping our air defense holds.

Every day at 9AM, Ukrainians observe a minute of silence. Everyone stops what they’re doing, stands, and remembers those we’ve lost — and those still fighting to protect us. It’s a moment of unity, a reminder that the reality we’ve come to accept as normal isn’t normal at all.

This morning’s massive drone attack ended around dawn, and it felt surreal — looking out the window, seeing the sky filled with smoke from the fires, and then hearing birds chirping like nothing had happened, like we hadn’t just come close to dying.

If I make it through this drone and missile strike, it’ll be a miracle. I’ve been through a lot of attacks before, but I’ve never been this terrified or felt this close to dying.

No sleep for those in Kyiv tonight — so many loud explosions.

Sunday morning in Kyiv: it’s 6AM, I’m reading a book, sipping coffee, watching the sun rise over the city… and then—BOOM—a loud explosion shatters the calm, and a flock of birds takes off in a panic.
