This was a great idea, and will turn out fine.

Today's dog of war was just lying by the pharmacy door when Zoriana was in a hurry to go to the store. She couldn't pass by such a charming dog sunbathing and relaxing while people were around.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Even when Russia is not attacking, many Ukrainians are still terrorised by Russian strikes in their nightmares.

Mariana, who has always suffered from nightmares, tells us how the war has made her sleep almost impossible.
