I feel as normal as possible, sometimes unstable, but I go to help as a volunteer

Natalia, Kyiv:

I think that ignorance and blind faith in propaganda is equated with stupidity today, and should bear the same responsibility. I mean, russians who believe their TV today are criminals as well. I will never forget, never forgive. 

Arseny, Ukraine:

I managed to leave Irpin an hour before they blocked the last exit for cars and started shooting people. Fortune was on my side. Nevertheless, my grandparents still stays there without gas and electricity. Luckily, they have water and food. They don’t want to leave their house. Also, friends of my family “threw” their dog, so we have the second one in Irpin

Victoria, Kyiv:

I found out that doing something makes me feel better these days, so I try to continue doing my hobby. I’ve crocheted several pairs of gloves, which I gave for free to people who wanted them. It’s funny, but my boyfriend asked to crochet gloves with two separate fingers instead of one. As for me, it looks a bit scary, but it’s really comfortable. Now I’m trying to knit a balaclava, which is quite complicated, but hopefully I’ll make it.

Natalia, Kyiv:

“We are not planning to attack other countries. We didn’t attack Ukraine, either.” – is everything we need to know about them, the sense of russian reliability

Natalia, Kyiv:

For these fifteen days, I haven’t watched any films, but yesterday I switched on the episode appeared I did not see, and for some minutes I forgot about war, I then I felt guilt, I am so sorry I can not change anything.

Olya, Ukraine:

I feel as normal as possible, sometimes unstable, but I go to help as a volunteer, we knit masking nets, it calms me down a bit.  I’m glad I can help.

Yara, Ukraine:

My family and I are in a village that’s near the border of Poland. It’s really quiet here. Feels like a different reality. 

I mostly spend my days with my family or read the news and books. Feel kind of bad for not doing enough to help the country right now. So, I’m trying to figure out what to do. 

Natalia, Kyiv:

Today I read on the net: “I have never thought that I will witness the final fight between Good and Evil”

Of course, we are experiencing epochal events, but I want my usual planned life, maybe even boring and predictable
