It is the early morning of February 24th, 2022. Just minutes after the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin declares his “Special Military Operation” or simply full-scale invasion in Ukraine, the Russian 3M-54 Caliber Cruise Missile is on the way toward its target. First, it seems like it will strike the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, like many other missiles that day.

However, its real target is the military base 3018 of the National Guard of Ukraine, just 10 kilometers away from the city. Around 6 am, the missile explodes on the empty exercise ground in front of the barracks. A couple of minutes later, another one hits near the local residential buildings.

This is the first attack on the small town, which will become known for one of the most significant and fierce battles of the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion. This town is called Hostomel.

I am curious to know what day-to-day life is like in Ukraine now, and how it has changed over the past few years, from before the war and when the war started until now. I understand this is a period of great economic and societal hardship, and I wish Ukraine and all Ukrainians the best in your noble plight. I am not from Europe and live in a very peaceful country in a very peaceful region, where war is not even remotely even discussed or considered a possibility.

I understand that GDP has dropped significantly (20%+) but has been slowly recovering although mostly driven by war expenditure. I also see that inflation and interest rates are exceptionally high. I suppose this points to a weakening economy. What is the economic situation like in Ukraine?

I understand Ukrainian cities have been undergoing bombing for years now. Once again my condolences and love for all Ukrainians. How does this looming threat affect your daily routine, if it does?

What about on the social side? I understand Ukrainian military conscription means almost all men are in the military and that means that women are largely alone in handling home affairs. How does this affect your day-to-day life?

I apologise if these questions sounds naive or might be sensitive. I would love to hear anything you might have to say. If there is anyway I can help please feel free to let me know too. I wish all Ukrainians the best!

After barely escaping certain death from above and being forced to dive into the nearest basement we could find while the rest of the street was getting destroyed, we played a SpongeBob SquarePants game.
Because.

And yeah, that's the photo of that.

Ледве уникнувши коси згори та пірнувши в найближчий підвал, який вдалося знайти, у той час як решту вулиці продовжували поступово знищувати, ми грали в гру про ГубкоБоба КвадратніГачі.
Тому, шо.

І так, це світлинка того моменту.

The aforementioned facility specializes in the production of synthetic rubbers, phenol, acetone and other chemical products. The enterprise’s capacity is about 2,000 tons of products per day.

Synthetic polymers are used in the production of rubber products, and special polymer binders are used in solid rocket fuel. Solid-fuel engines are used, in particular, in the missiles of Iskander-M, Topol-M and Yars complexes.
