Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 16 (11.03.2022)
The day began with an air raid siren at 4:30 AM. In short, this is the favorite time of the Russian attacks – after waking up to begin pounding on the city. Actually they were keyed up this morning and into the evening. Traditionally, the most actively shelled were Northern Saltivka and the numbered micro districts of Saltivka, but today Derhachi and parts of Oleksiyivka and Pavlove Pole also experienced a lot of shelling.

For the first time in 13 days, it’s quiet in the city. It feels weird. The pause allows for more active evacuation of those who have decided to leave the city and to bring in supplies for the military, medicine, food, and more. As city residents have noted, thanks to the lower intensity of shelling, deliveries of food and other necessities are gradually improving. […]

Further action plan
In a previous writing I referred to a metaphor of us being like ants which I borrowed from a Ukrainian in southern Ukraine under constant fire. If we follow that paradigm and each work tirelessly, doing simply what we are meant to do, we will prevail. And Ukraine and the world will be saved. That is not hyperbole. […]

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 6.
It was a complex and difficult day, first of all mentally. There were many people killed and wounded. It’s an extermination of the city, a genocide. But Kharkiv is hanging on. The mood is optimistic. The enemy cannot win—they’ll have to flatten the entire city. […]

In two waves this morning (February 28, 2022), Russian forces fired artillery and multiple launch rocket systems (known as “Grad”) on my neighborhood Saltivka—a regular residential neighborhood, the largest in Ukraine.
