Explosions in Odesa . Air defense iust show down Russian drone, reports say. Just some 5 years ago one such report would be breaking news, now it’s the most mundane thing . This timeline is bizarre

Hordii actually evacuated from Kharkiv to Bila Tserkva in Kyiv region back in 2022. But, out of all nights, he happened to be back in Kharkiv this weekend, when Russian missile killed him, and his mother.

2/2

Just realised something. which could break your heart. Because it just did mine. You see, Hordii, kid murdered by Russian missile on Saturday night, was from Kharkiv. But hockey club he played for - with a very cool name: Snow Leopard - is from my region, Kyiv region. Turned out 1/2

there’s still as many left. Which means Russia broken , only tonight, and only in Kharkiv, almost 1000 windows . Broken so many windows , instead of building something beautiful. What a waste.

These might look like some mundane photos you could easily scroll through - and I’d love they were honestly - but they’re not: it’s city workers in Kharkiv today helping people to cover their broken windows after Russia bombed the city this night . They already boarded up 470 of them - and

My morning started with a text from my father, saying β€˜all is ok’. It means only one thing: that Russian attack was happening right next to him, but he’s ok. Immediately, it feels harder to breathe. I call him. Turns out, this time, all really is ok. He just
