00:43I spent a night before.

00:46So if the quality of the video is not so good, I do what I can because we leave and now we just get news that already the metro doesn't work.

00:58So we have to go by foot to the station if we hope to come out from Kyiv.

01:10We are leaving our home and we are going to find other places where to stay.

01:18I hope we can come to the station.

01:22So this is what we did for tonight to be safe.

01:29We did it because we are already bombarding normal houses.

01:37So this is my home.

01:40Windows.

01:41And we just make windows more secure.
