My wife and I have been back in the bomb shelter since 4 o'clock in the morning. Another Russian missile attack on Ukraine. The blue thermos is with us.
The bomb shelter is the basement of an ordinary school. The school was built during the Soviet Union, when a nuclear attack from the West was expected. We could not have imagined that we would expect a missile strike from the east here.
There are many people of different ages in the bomb shelter. Some sleep lying on benches. Some sleep sitting on chairs. For children there are several beds with pillows in sheets. There are not enough beds for all the children. Parents move the chairs in a row and thus make a sleeping place for the child. The atmosphere in the bomb shelter is calm. Conversations are held quietly so as not to wake up the children.
Some people bring dogs and cats with them. Not everyone likes it, but there are fans of pets. They form interest groups. As a rule, the alarm lasts about two hours. After 6 o'clock in the morning, a break is usually announced and all these people will go to work and take children to kindergartens and schools.
Unlike Trump and Speaker Johnson, Ukrainians are not going to capitulate to Putin!
