Yesterday there was a very long air alert, almost 4 hours. The Russians bombed power substations almost all over Ukraine. The news reported that almost 100 rockets and 20 drones were launched. 70 percent of the missiles were shot down. All drones were also shot down. Two rockets fell in Poland 7 km from the border. 2 people had been killed. At first everybody thought they were Russian missiles, but today it turned out, that it was most likely Ukrainian anti-aircraft missiles which trying to shoot down Russian ones.

       **** From about 6 o'clock in the evening until 2 o'clock in the morning, there was no light. When they turned on the electricity at night, we charged mobile phones. Phones must be charged at all times. This is very important because it is not known when and for how long there will be no electricity in residential buildings.

       ***** Today, from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the morning, the lights were turned off again. In the morning I went to the store and bought 4 candles for UAH 45 each. They are probably ordinary large, church candles, at least that's how they look. Outside on the street, just as it's getting cold these days. The weather forecast for tomorrow shows snow. Without electricity, there will be no heating in the apartment because the automation in the boiler will not work. The phone should always be charged just in case.
