Greetings from Kyiv! Today, while crossing the Dnipro River by metro, I decided to film it for a moment. Covered with snow and frozen. And this sky! I’ll never get tired of looking for beauty.

Greetings from Kyiv and our –11 °C. Filmed this earlier today, when I finally decided it was time to go out and buy some food. We still have only rare hours with electricity and minimal heating. Now an air raid alert has joined the list.

Around eight million books were destroyed in Kharkiv yesterday. Many Ukrainians are responding by buying books from the affected publishers and from KnyhoLand, the bookstore chain that also used the warehouse. I bought these today.

My Kyiv-Lviv train was delayed by three hours. It is Ukrainian Statehood Day, marking more than 1,000 years of Ukrainian statehood, from Kyivan Rus to modern Ukraine. International delegations arrived in Kyiv by train, which may have affected the railway schedule.

It’s the original Helmet of Memory, with images of Ukrainian athletes killed by russia. Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych wanted to compete with it at the Winter Olympics. He was disqualified. I saw it today and want to show it to the world.

4:51 pm in hometown Surrounded by forest. Next to each flag there is an oak tree. Next to each flag there is a plate with a name, date of birth and date of death. Soldiers. Born in this tiny town. Killed in this big war. Oak field of death. I visited it today. No words to add.

Kyiv. No electricity for 15 hours. Maybe it’ll be back tomorrow morning (usually for no more than four hours). I’ll save my phone battery. Will write only if something critical happens (or when power returns).

I’m sitting near the Dnipro River. Rescuers are trying to find people under the rubble. Already, five people are dead in Kyiv. A 12-year-old girl is among them. I’m looking at the water. It doesn’t know.

Kyiv. No electricity at homes. But this streetlight and two blue-and-yellow windows bring a smile. Answering your possible question – no, streetlights are not always on during outages. Sometimes.

Spotted in Kyiv today – the Christmas Tree of Light, made from the uniforms of DTEK energy workers (Ukraine’s largest private energy company). A symbol of gratitude to all who keep our lights on.

If you wonder how big Kyiv is. The territory of Kyiv is about 847 km² (327 sq mi) – slightly larger than New York City by land area, almost as large as Berlin, and nearly eight times the size of Paris.
