I spoke on the phone with Oleksiy, whose apartment in Kyiv has been destroyed by a Russian missile in the early morning today. It was on the 22nd floor. He, his wife and three children luckily are unhurt because they were hiding in a bomb shelter at that time 🧵 
'We heard a siren at about 8 am and went to the bomb shelter. There, we heard a loud bang, everything around us was shaking. Some time later, we saw photos in a neighbors' chat that our building was hit. We realized our apartment has been destroyed', Oleksiy told me
An entrepreneur in peace time, Oleksiy, his wife and three kids aged 8, 12 and 20 were unable to leave Kyiv earlier due to heavy fighting. Now, they also don't have a place to live. Oleksiy said they will probably have to spend next days and nights in the bomb shelter
'All our neighbors stay in the bomb shelter as well because there is no electricity, heating and water supply in our building anymore', he told me. 'We are frightened of course, but we try to stay strong. I'm trying to joke with my kids to keep their spirits up'
