This week, Russia has returned to attack the city of Kiev, in a new attempt to sow terror among the civilian population of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
As I told you Tuesday ago, one of the places attacked was a playground<\/a>, in which a missile crashed leaving a large crater. Obviously, living in such a situation is traumatic, but Putin does not seem to have achieved his goal of intimidating the Ukrainian people.<\/strong> Proof of this is a nice video published this afternoon by the YouTube channel What is Ukraine<\/a>. This channel belongs to a Ukrainian woman, Olena, who lives in Kiev<\/strong> and is the mother of two girls and a boy. At the beginning of the invasion, her husband volunteered for the Ukrainian Army. I have been following this channel since the beginning of the invasion: it is a good way of discovering, without intermediaries, what the Ukrainians are experiencing.<\/p>\n This afternoon, Olena has toured the center of Kiev, showing an image that many of us would not expect from the capital of a country at war.<\/strong> There are cars on the streets, people coming and going, and seeing most of the images do not seem that we are seeing a country at war. Among other things, Olena shows us the gardens of Taras Shevchenko <\/strong>, where her husband proposed to her 15 years ago, next to the monument dedicated to the Ukrainian writer after whom that place is named, and where the playground attacked on Monday by the Russians is located<\/strong>. The video lasts one hour and Olena presents it in English:<\/p>\n
