This is my homecity, Kyiv, on the 2nd of January after russia attacked Ukraine with Shahed drones, 16 Tu-95MC bombers, "Kinzhal" and "Kaliber" missiles during the night.
(Overall russia launched 99 missiles of various types and 35 attack drones over Ukraine during the night and morning).
As for now, 49 people are injured, 43 out of them were hospitalized. 2 people died.
I cannot express the pain I feel seeing the beautiful and strong city where I was raised being so viciously destroyed in the front of the whole world. And I certainly cannot imagine the pain of those, who suffered during the attack today and who lost their loved ones, one of them being Lyudmyla Shevtsova, doctor of biological sciences, professor, teacher of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
DON'T LOOK AWAY.
DON'T FORGET THE FACE OF THE TERROR.
SUPPORT ARMING UKRAINE SO WE CAN DEFEND OURSELVES, OUR LIVES, OUR CULTURE FROM BEING DESTROYED.
Holodomor Museum keeps the memory of innocent Ukrainians killed with the man-made famine (known as Holodomor, the Great Famine of 1932-1933) organized by the soviet government. The number of the dead in the genocide varies from 4,5 to 10 million people, according to different researchers.
My late grandma remembered this horror for all her life. She was 8 that time. Her smaller sisters and brothers, 4 kids in our family, died from hunger in Holodomor. I remember that my grandma kept the packages full of dry bread in the nightstand till her last day.
90 years passed. The terrorist state of russia continues to commit its awful crimes, blackmailing the whole world with famine. Slogans like "Never again" are not working. They never did.

Since yesterday night people all over Ukraine woke up to the air raid alarm because russia yet again started attacking them with Shahed drones.
As a result, during the night russia terrorised many Ukrainian cities, such as Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv and Kharkiv.
Just in one night russia hit Ukraine with 158 missiles and drones.
CONSEQUENCES OF RUSSIAN ATTACK IN LVIV:
According to the report of the Lviv OVA at the moment:
Residential buildings, three schools and a kindergarten are damaged.
15 people were injured. One person died.
CONSEQUENCES OF RUSSIAN ATTACK IN ODESA:
According to the report of the Odesa OVA at the moment:
Residential buildings are hit. Rescuers unblocked and pulled out more than 20 people from under the rubbles.
The number of dead is 4.
THIS IS BARELY HALF OF THE ATTACKS IN ONE NIGHT. CONTINUATION OF THE POST.
And all this terror in just one night. As I was writing this post (15:00 Kyiv time) Ukraine is already under another wave of air raid alarms.
This is your daily reminder that russian war in Ukraine DID NOT end. It DID NOT stop. It DID NOT freeze. Russia continues to attack Ukrainians , specifically targeting residential buildings, shopping malls, schools and hospitals at night or the most busy hours to increase civilian casualties. Because this is all they can do. All russia can do is make terror.
This post is a reminder that russians don't want peace and don't plan to live in peace with Ukraine. They want to occupy and take away everything from us and what they cannot take they want to destroy.
Ukraine needs your help. Most of all Ukraine needs weapons to protect itself on ITS OWN territory and to fucking cast out russians from our country.
Consequences of today's night missile attack on Kyiv.
Parked cars flew tens of meters away. There is a huge hole in the yard of the house in the Dnipro district that suffered the most from the explosion. The video also shows the damaged kindergarten building. According to the latest data, at least 50 people were injured, 6 of whom were children.
