@sorensuorin: What is it like to wake up to an air raid in Ukraine? During my time in Lviv, I experienced a 4 a.m. air raid alert that sent phones across my hostel blaring and sirens echoing through the city. We headed to the underground shelter, where I quickly realized that for many Ukrainians, this wasn’t an extraordinary event, it was simply another night. Experiencing an air raid in western Ukraine and witnessing how people continue to live during an ongoing war was one of the most eye opening things I’ve witnessed.
as a Ukrainian person, the air raid sirens truly became a part of everyday life, and are no longer something unusual, but a part of life for many of citizens, despite of how scary it may seem for foreigners. I also was scared of sirens at first war days, but now I adapted to them.

I mean yeah dude Lviv n stuff but if you actually wanna experience and witness the reality of war visit some near the front line cities. You prolly could even face drone attacks there n yes russia continues to kill civilians there every single day...

Just a reminder that Russia was attacking us since 2014, mostly Donbass, but almost no other countries talked about it

I’m Ukrainian and I still ignore those alarms because when the whole country lits up red on map its means it safe but when it only one city that’s when they attack with rockets

This is something that most Europeans and Americans will never understand. For you, one alarm in a city a thousand kilometers from the front is an experience that changes your view of the world, but for millions of people who live in Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Chernihiv, Kherson - nightly drone and missile strikes are just everyday life. I am extremely grateful for the information you share. speak with locals, maybe find some refugees from east of Ukraine, and tell their words in your homeland. More people should know about this
