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.

What a treat to see a chestnut tree in bloom again! The weather is quite confused atm and the growing season really seems to have extended into Autumn 🤯

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.

I agree, this sculpture evokes a multitude of emotions, and to me is a visual representation of strength in numbers but almost a shadow of their former selves.

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.

Hi Yaroslava, It’s great that Ukrainian’s support bookstores this way and it, once again displays the unbreakable spirit of Ukraine 💪 (I’m visiting friends in York over the next few days, so apologies if I’m late in responding. A pic of my late flowering lilac for you 🫂🌸⬇️)

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?

It’s an awful addition but sadly necessary. This year has come around surprisingly quickly, probably seems even faster for Ukrainians.

Kyiv. I am in my favorite bookstore. That means I crossed the Dnipro River. Trains of my metro line run across it again with some restrictions. Relief. I write more about how Kyiv and I live in the letters. Sunday Letter from Kyiv. Sounds good.

Hi Yaroslava, I saw the bridge attack reported on BBC earlier 🤬 It’s good to see that you visited one of your favourite warcoffee spots ☕️ I hope the rest of your evening is calm and peaceful and you don’t have any other uninvited ‘guests’. (Pic of Jerusalem artichoke flower 🌼)

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.

While putin is desperately fighting with bridges in Kyiv, we find solutions. I’m in an absolutely beautiful Telegram group, where people can ask for a lift from one bank of the city to another or offer one. I love reading messages there.

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.

Drone attack in Kyiv. We have had only 52 minutes without an air raid threat since midnight. It’s 3:37 pm here. I took my camera and went to the city centre. Because life should be lived even under such abnormal circumstances.
