#Russian Attacks

“We were literally one building section away from dying,” says one of the survivors of this morning’s attack in Kyiv. His home—an apartment building struck directly by a Russian missile—now has a gaping hole spanning nine stories.

For many, it’s hard to imagine what life is like in a city under rocket fire. But for millions in Kyiv, it’s getting harder to imagine what life in a peaceful city used to feel like. Through the adaptation Russia’s war has forced on Kyiv, people have learned not just to endure but, at times, to live and even thrive under the hardest of circumstances.
