Day 1690 and Ukraine woke up incredibly angry this morning. "Used", "betrayed" and "disgusted" just 3 of the words most commonly heard, as the former leader of the free world managed to tarnish the reputation of the U.S. yet more. I've never missed a day. This is the daily 🧵

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.

Kyiv. Saturday. Emergency power outages after russian attacks. Such a sunny day. The metro stopped running for a short time. I want to visit KYIV ART FAIR. Missile attack. Explosions. Still want to go.

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.

A few minutes in Kyiv. Drones and a power outage not on the schedule. Someone is stuck in the elevator. My upstairs neighbour is going to look after her mum (97) in Sumy, closer to the frontline. A woman on the street asks where the nearest shelter is. I see her fear and take her to a safe place.

Late morning in Kyiv after the overnight attack. Soon, I’m going to my workout. As usual on Wednesdays. Perhaps you’ve read about the casualties and damage. Not only in Kyiv. I hope you have. I don’t open the windows. The city is covered in smoke.

Kyiv. Power outages are back in our lives. Today, we got the outage schedule. Keeping a detailed war diary helps. I checked it to see when the outages began last year. On the night of October 9-10, russians attacked our energy system. We had no power for over 15 hours. What will this year bring?

These days there’s so much talk of a nightmare waiting for Kyiv: we’ll freeze with no water or electricity, and strikes on bridges connecting the two banks will cause a logistical collapse… I don’t say times are or will be easy. But I stay in Kyiv. This panic benefits russia.

Late Friday morning in Kyiv. No, I won’t go to the right bank of the city as I planned. Why? The bridge I use was hit again at night (for the third time). And traffic on some other bridges across the Dnipro River was restricted. So, traffic jams are inevitable. I'll wait. I'll wait.

This is what I was afraid of. russian drones struck near the support structure of the Pivdennyi Bridge in Kyiv. It connects the two banks of Kyiv across the Dnipro and it’s the one I use. Metro and other public transport across the bridge have been stopped while engineers inspect it.

Such moments will stay in memory forever. Kyiv. Today, for the first time in 4 years and almost 7 months, I crossed the Dnipro River by metro during an air raid alert. The line I use keeps running during yellow (drone) threats. How was it? Faster, I think, than when there’s no alert.
