Late evening in Kyiv. Darkness is dotted with pale light from windows. Power outage. A familiar voice outside assured everyone that the air raid alert was over. When did it begin? These days, the attacks seem continuous. I see no need to complain or grumble. I write. You read. I write.

Whoever is ultimately behind the Starlink speed limits in Ukraine, this entire situation shows once again: communication infrastructure is a key part of sovereignty, resilience and defense. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sunday morning in Kyiv. Emergency power outages again after russian strikes. The window is open, bringing in the sound of generators. Covering myself in a blanket of autumn sun and sipping a warcoffee, I’m going to write a letter about what it was like to live in Kyiv this week.

Cherkasy, Ukraine. A girl is standing in front of her home destroyed by a russian missile. Next time you put fuel in your car, remember we did this.

I’ve never seen anything like that. A chestnut tree is blooming in Kyiv. In October. No, it’s not a massive ‘trend’. Other trees are just like trees in autumn. Yellow, red, bald, tiredly green.

russians kill children, women and men, the young and those whose hair has turned silver. russians destroy homes where someone had breakfast yesterday. They burn warehouses full of books. putin is evil. But this evil has hands that kill, destroy and burn.

Again and again russia destroys Ukrainian books. After each strike on a book warehouse, I film how Kyiv bookstores react. Today, my favourite one. In the video: some books by Knygolove, whose warehouse was hit yesterday. The bookstore asks people to support affected publishers by buying a book.

Kyiv. Early Sunday evening. I went to have warcoffee at my favourite place. Drones? Frequent uninvited ‘guests’ during the day. One of the bridges was hit earlier. People are out, doing the same as I do: living their lives.

Kyiv. Air defence is shooting down drones. I finished writing today’s letter. russian drones found a new target - data centres and internet providers. Perhaps I’ll go out for a while. Yes, it’s not safe to wander now. But we have to live somehow.

I am reading about the damage caused by russian attacks in Kyiv last night. Maternity hospital, warehouse, cars, houses… Two people killed. It’s raining. I had two cups of warcoffee. The drone threat has lasted more than 7 hours. I don’t know what has lasted longer: the rain or the drones.

Today was my last day at the Swiss National Cyber Security Centre. Five years. What began as a concept in 2021 now connects public authorities and operators of critical infrastructure. What stays with me: security is a question of trust between people, not technology. Stay tuned!

It’s worth mentioning here. Ukraine shares its experience with museums elsewhere to help them prepare for crises. Today, Ukrainian museum professionals shared lessons on evacuating collections and protecting cultural heritage at an international online discussion.

My days in Kyiv involve more than just attacks. I read, research topics I want to write about, write, visit exhibitions, attend discussions and lectures, and read again. Life goes on anyway. That’s my point.

Culture matters. The UK is a great example. Yesterday, the British Council announced £2 million in new funding over three years to support Ukrainian cultural organisations. The funding will go directly to them. Thank you 🇬🇧

Yesterday, I sent a letter about how the Old English word “orc” became part of Ukraine’s language of war. Here, russian occupiers are often called orcs. The word travelled across languages, cultures and centuries before it reached us. Image: 🇺🇦 Oleg Shupliak

How Kyiv adapts to war challenges. Some of the changes: From today (Sept 10), businesses may stay open during yellow drone alerts; red alerts (missiles or mass drone attacks) mean everyone must go to a shelter. The same applies to cultural events. A shelter must be nearby. Safety first

Kyiv. Between attacks. I went out to have a warcoffee and a bun. I’ve been writing since the morning to the sound of explosions. A new letter is coming soon. To those who know its value.

Yesterday I sent a Sunday Letter. Its focus is that life goes on even between attacks. I described my visit to Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, where I saw treasures from the sacristy (where objects used in worship and other church treasures are kept).

Yesterday, I sent a letter about the “russian world”, an ideology of russia’s special mission and influence beyond its borders. I traced how it evolved over centuries. Today, attacks on Kyiv resumed. They show what this “mission” looks like. Photo from the exhibition: Mykyta Shandyba
