I said to myself: it's strange that the weekend in Kyiv went by without numerous air raids. And today, a massive missile attack that is still going on. I decided to work in the office in the morning. From the balcony, we have a good view of everything around us.
At first, I thought the sounds were coming from inside the building, maybe someone was moving furniture on the top floor. It took me a while to realize that it was the air defence system shooting down missiles. I went out to the balcony and saw white "lines" in the sky - traces of missiles. It was quiet, it seemed like everything was over.
After 5 minutes, the sounds of explosions were heard again. There were many of them. I went out to the balcony again. Since the beginning of the war, I feel safe only in a shelter, but if I'm not there, I feel calmer when I see the horizon, the sky. As if I can control something. What I saw was terrifying. There were puffs of smoke, white and black, rising in different places around us, and the sounds of explosions did not stop. Smoke was rising even from the area of the American embassy. I went inside, the next moment I heard a loud whistle of a rocket, and ran to the shelter in the basement pf the office center.. The stairs were full of people who were also running down to the shelter. The shelter was full of people.
The worst thing is uncertain and unknown. There is a lot of talk about the consequences in Telegram channels, but given the directions of smoke, there were several hits in the area of my house. And they don't write anything about them. I hope my house is safe. My hubby called, he is fine. Now we are waiting for the evening. Although, I don't want to work at all. Cannot focus.
When I took the selfie for the post, I was amazed at how....scared my face was. It took a lot of takes.
Anyway, I am fine. I wish these bastards a slow agonizing death and an eternity in hell.
P.S. The Air raid is all clear.
