<o>, Kyiv:
I lack emotional words to describe the war. Yesterday after hearing the news about Kharkiv and seeing the footages of explosions there, I felt chill deep in my bones. It was the first time during the war when my nerves crumbled under the pressure.
Yet I know that many other people have had panic attacks much earlier. At nighttime our children see nightmares, and at daytime their games and conversations become related to war, soldiers, bombs, things that are not supposed to be part of their life.
And neither should children be part of war, but from what we see – they become victims of russian bombs, their lives become the part of war regardless of our humane, moral standards, because our enemy is inhumane in its core (Putin, his generals, ministers..) and insolent in its limbs (some russian troops have no idea what they are actually fighting for, though their ignorance is still their very own fault). – still in Kyiv
