When I was traveling from Kharkiv to Kyiv yesterday, the reporters' heroes, and then a cafe waiter said farewell: “Take care of yourselves in Kyiv.” All the years of full-scale war, I used to say this phrase when bidding farewell to someone in Kharkiv.
The morning began with Russian shelling of a residential high-rise in Pecherskyi district. There I met 11-year-old Milana, who told how she and her mother saved their lives with her socks.
“I was getting ready for school for a long time, my mom nagged that I couldn't choose socks, and we would be late. But if we had stepped out two minutes later, shrapnel would have hit us,” she says, showing the broken car of her mother.
From the shoot in Pecherskyi I drove for a long time through alarms in my own district. And I arrived “on time” at the shelling of the office center. People who died right on the roadway and near the bus stop did not have even a few minutes to hide after the alarm sounded.
“My brother spoke to me on the phone when he came under fire. I heard the alarm for a few minutes, an explosion – and then silence on the phone,” Hanna recalls. Her brother is alive but badly injured.
A month ago we planned how to survive the winter. Now we plan how to get home from work. The horizon of planning is a few minutes that remain after the alarm, if there is one.
