Vlad, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Can you describe what daily life is like in Kharkiv right now?
It’s hard to put into words. Every day feels like a roller coaster of emotions.We wake up not knowing if we’ll experience another air raid, another bomb blast, another sigh of relief when the sirens finally stop. The city is a shell of its former self. Buildings are damaged, streets are deserted, and the constant hum of anxiety permeates the air.
How have you and your family adapted to this new reality?
Adaptation is a slow, painful process. We barely leave our apartment unless absolutely necessary, always keeping emergency kits handy. We sleep in the designated shelters whenever the sirens wail, clinging to hope that we’ll wake up safe. The fear is ever-present,a constant shadow over our lives.
What are your thoughts on the resilience of the Kharkiv people in the face of this adversity?
Kharkiv is a city of strong, resilient people. Though the war has stolen so much, it has also revealed the depths of our courage and unity. Neighbors help neighbors, strangers offer comfort, and a shared determination to survive binds us together. We refuse to let fear extinguish the spirit of our city.
What message do you have for the world about the situation in Kharkiv?
We need the world to understand that this isn’t just a conflict happening on a distant battlefield. its a human tragedy unfolding in our homes, our streets, our lives. We need unwavering support, humanitarian aid, and a resolute commitment to ending this senseless war. Our city, our people, are fighting for their vrey survival.
What keeps you hopeful for the future?
it’s hard to hold onto hope amidst the chaos, but the resilience of the human spirit, the unwavering courage of our defenders, and the outpouring of international support give me reason to believe that peace will one day return to Kharkiv. We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will emerge from this darkness stronger than ever before.
