Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 28 (23.03.2022)
It’s been four weeks since the start of the large-scale Muscovite invasion of Ukraine. And for four weeks Kharkiv has been defending itself, fighting, and hanging on. The city that the Western military didn’t think could last for more than a few hours has kept up defending itself for four weeks! And it will hang on and defend itself further. The Muscovites aren’t strong enough to take it!

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.

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 13.
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.

The night began with an air raid and shelling. The hottest was in Saltivka and Oleksiyivka. In Saltivka the strikes and shells went all the way to the Novoslatovsky market – near TRK Ukraina, which is already on the border between the microdistrict and Saltivka settlements (private or two-, three-storey buildings).

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.
