Life in a Kyiv, Ukraine metro shelter over 24 days of war

With air raid sirens and the thump of explosions now a familiar night time sound to residents of Kyiv, increasing numbers have taken to sheltering in the city's deep underground metro stations, battling boredom as they wait for what comes next.

I'm impressed by how clean it looks!! Glad they have a place to stay though this may not look like much, it seems safe, clean, and has electricity.

It breaks your heart when you see small children like this. 💔

I am in awe of the spirits of these Ukrainians. When this is all over and Russia is defeated, I will want to visit Ukraine.

С каждым днём нам всё приятнее видеть буквально светящиеся лица ведущих теленовостей. Они нормальные люди и их просто переполняет чувство восхищения грамотными быстрыми и успешными действиями русских против фашистов в Европе. Желаю здоровья и радости в жизни этим телеведущим. Чисто по человечески понимаю их стремление сдерживать себя.

God bless these families, please God protect them. Be with them. Keep them safe. My prayers for people for Ukraine 🇺🇦 protect the children.

It sucks to have Russia as a neighbor.

Underground city's is worth gold.

[ellaeadig]

Imagine having to stay down there all day long with the sound of trains going past constantly.

You have no idea what it is like to be under constant Artillery barrage. One. Your eardrums are gone with the concussion alone. Then you gather and wait...

[obombabeenlaid]

Although designed as aerial bombing shelters, there are no restrooms in metro stations!

[jenineschroeder]

This is the kind of world 🌍 we've made for ourselves and our children. Better have no enemies when the light 🕯️ goes out, due to the economic crisis 🇺🇦and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make more money for the future 💯
