Hi there! It\u2019s Sean here. So far, I can\u2019t help but feel a sense of awe and amazement at how quickly time seems to be flying by. Therefore, it feels like I was doing my last update only yesterday, but here I am, back in Kyiv, ready to give you another glimpse into the city\u2019s daily life.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, my first winter update isn\u2019t as nice as I would have liked it to be. Since I was last here, It\u2019s been a few weeks. However, now that I\u2019m back, I can see things have changed. There was an attack on the park downtown Kyiv a couple of months ago, and I\u2019m standing right next to what was the bomb crater. Despite this, they have just planted new trees, and the playground has been put back together.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the first crater was here, and kids were actually playing inside it for a couple of weeks. Despite the uncertainty, Ukrainians kept moving forward and not letting the war stop them. In addition, I can see the red building in the back, which is the university, and scaffoldings and sandbags protecting the Shevchenko monument, one of the city\u2019s most treasured monuments. That\u2019s where the missile hit.<\/p>\n
Despite the tense atmosphere, traffic, bars, and restaurants remain open, and people continue to enjoy themselves out and about. However, there\u2019s a feeling of anticipation in the air as people are unsure when the next attack will occur. As everyone knows that the system has been weakened, there\u2019s an expectation that another strike is imminent, which could cause more outages for an unknown amount of time.<\/p>\n
