Life in Ukraine #2: 12:07 AM in Ukraine. City of Lviv. Almost complete darkness outside except for some faint light from the moon. You can hear the silence, & see some stars you’ve never seen before. One generator breaks the silence. It’s far but not far enough not to hear it 👇🏻
It doesn’t bother us. Once generators are made more available this monotonous sound will be heard louder & from different angles. Every day you adapt better. Watched a movie on my phone that I downloaded previously. Felt relatively normal but the water hasn’t been available👇🏻
all day. People are worried about theft because most alarms don’t last for more than a few hours without electricity. But undercover patrols and police are always watching (relief). You can’t go out now anyway - curfew. My heart goes to the cities that are closer to the front 👇🏻
as you will have to add to all of this ‘drama’ the sound of shelling and even maybe aircrafts. Who knows? Not quite sure about this one. As for the coffee shop/bakery - still waiting to complete the fundraiser but I am confident we will (check pinned tweet) I will try take👇🏻
pictures & even videos to show you more the “feel of life” in Ukraine. I hope you enjoyed this reflection and I was able to take you on a journey - albeit short - into my world.
Stay Positive. Smile.
Enjoy light, water, & warmth ♥️

🧵 I have decided to do my best to show you more the daily life in #Ukraine. Here is a thread:
- we closed our coffee shop/bakery only *temporarily* as we wait to complete the fundraiser (still 573,39$ short)
- in the last 72 hours we didn’t get any electricity during the day 👇🏻
- we got some hours of ⚡️ during the night. We washed, heated the house, & showered (oh, this is a huge victory!)
- it’s becoming noisier to walk outside as retail shops are installing generators near their entrances;
- people are very eager to see all shops with generators 👇🏻
- generators: very difficult to find any. Even though some sources mentioned that Ukraine is now importing around 10,000 a day - it is still not enough.
- we are planning to have someone buy it from Poland & bring it over. Government has made generators tax free 👇🏻

1/5🧵Summary of Interview with the Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of #Ukraine: 👇🏻

▪️The #Russian Federation has only 30% of the number of missiles left before the war. And the number of "Iskanders" has already fallen to 13%.
