Nadezhda Sukhorukova (Mariupol, 03/19/2022):
I go outdoors in between bombings. I need to walk the dog. She constantly whines, trembles and hides behind my legs. I am sleepy all the time. Our yard, surrounded by high-rise buildings, is quiet and dead.
I'm no longer afraid to look around. Opposite to me, building 105 is burning down. The flames have devoured five floors and are slowly spreading to the sixth. In the apartment, the fire burns gently just as a fireplace.

KNU: Yula Zdanovska, a talented young mathematician, died during the bombing of Kharkiv. She was a member of the Ukraine EGMO team in 2016 and in 2017, when she was awarded a silver medal. Yula was doing volunteer work, helping people in the hardest days for Kharkiv.
Her last message in Telegram was that she is staying in her city until the victory day. And before the Russian invasion she was teaching children to love math. Rest in peace, Yula. We will never forgive that.
