“If you live in Ukraine today, checking the news is your morning routine. You have to understand what is going on — how can you not? You have to understand which direction the drones are flying from, whether it is dangerous to go outside. If you want to protect yourself, you have to constantly monitor the situation. When the air raid alarm goes off, immediately everyone’s phones in the office start howling. Everyone has the alerts set up. The Russians have gotten more sophisticated with the air raids. … On the one hand, in Kyiv, the sheer number of drones — sometimes 150 per attack — makes it impossible to intercept them all. On the other hand, the cities closer to the front, like Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, are simply defenseless.” (12/23/24)
