I filmed this moment. For three days, to mark Kyiv Day, the fountain of Kyiv’s founders came back to life. Why only for three days? Because of security and energy-saving measures during the war.

Kyiv. Just saw this outside my window. A truck loaded with what’s left of windows. It carries many sad stories.

Greetings from Kyiv! Just wanted to remind the world that this city (oh, this country) stands. Filmed earlier today – from my eyes to yours.

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.

For those who care. No power for more than 10 hours now. I finished my workout and came to have a warcoffee; this place runs on generators. Kyiv stands. Lives. Repairs its wounds.

Often, we need a broader picture. I slept badly because of laughter and loud conversations in the room next to mine. In the morning, a group of Superhumans, as we call them here, entered the dining room. Prostheses instead of arms or legs. They had a lot to celebrate. Life.

Victory (still a cat) from Kyiv. She stayed under the blanket for the 12 seconds I filmed 🙃 Maybe you need something good today. We don’t have much good here – but this, yes.

We are so tired of winter here in Kyiv that even the smallest signs of spring make us happy. Crocuses on the grounds of Saint Sophia Cathedral today.

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.

Yesterday, they offered free coffee and sweets after the attack. Today, it was my turn. I bought coffee and cheesecake for them. We have to support each other. Shoulder to shoulder.

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.

My last stop for today. Chornobyl Museum. By destroying museums and galleries, russians try to destroy our culture and memory. We will rebuild.

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).

A painting by Caravaggio — The Taking of Christ (also known as The Kiss of Judas). Stolen from a museum in Odesa in 2008. Found years later, seriously damaged. Restored piece by piece by Ukrainian restorers. I saw it today at the Metropolitan House on the grounds of Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
