“Okey, I’m gonna sleep in corridor”

Natalia, Kyiv:

I used to think how Germany let Hitler come to power. Why they let him commit all those crimes. Now I understand how and why. 

Marina, Kyiv:

I’ve just thought about how easily life can go wrong. 

At the 19th of February, I’d met my friends. We made plans. Spoke about the way we’re gonna celebrate my birthday. We expected nothing else, but our trip to Lviv: how we’d visit a theater and museums. 

And now all I can pray for, is to see them again. War made me realize how important they are to me. How much I love them. 

I don’t care about deadlines or studying anymore. Can’t even imagine how to be back to normal being, when we win. 

But I wish nothing more than happy life for Ukrainians.

Valeria, Kyiv:

I calmly slept in my bed after sleepless night. I saw a dream.

One burst: very loud. I: “Ok, it’s gone few seconds, no one goes to me, I can continue sleeping.”

4 bursts some seconds later: also very loud. I: “Okey, I’m gonna sleep in corridor”.

Natalia, Kyiv:

Plans for today feed cats, visits elderly ladies, survive.

Lesya, Kyiv:

Each of us knows the value and importance of our freedom and our moral values! That is what we must stand for. The enemy will lose because they have no moral principles and do not know exactly why they are fighting and what they are fighting for. We know what we defend, we believe in our Army, in Ukraine, and we will defeat them! We have to be free, we have to be strong!
