Russia attacks Kyiv literally every night, and I have a feeling that it even intensified its attacks since Trump synchronized his voice with Putin. Here’s the sound of our air defense and me hiding in the bathroom because it was really loud. I hear the drone from my room.

It’s not a movie; it’s a reality when Russia is your neighbor. These videos were taken by head and employees of Tut.bude cafe in central Kyiv, when Russia attacked with ballistic missiles this morning. Their cafe was damaged but treated emergency workers and neighbors with coffee.

Watching ‘For Sama’ today with an air raid in Kyiv in the background. Russia has brought so much suffering to Syrians, Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians— you name it. Today’s news brought hope to all of us that Russia will be defeated and that Putin will meet the same fate as Assad.
