.@Kim_Barker, @MarichkaVareni1 and Oleksandra Mykolyshyn on what it is like to live one day in Kyiv, as life in the Ukrainian capital gets harder and harder: "Russia has threatened to knock out power, heat and water in Kyiv this winter. This month Moscow started trying to cut the city in two by hitting bridges over the Dnipro River, which divides the east, where rents are lower, from the west, where most people work. Every decision, small or big, feels fraught with what-ifs that could be life-changing. People in Kyiv first decide where to sleep. A tent in a subway station. A car in an underground parking garage. A mattress in the hallway. A gamble in bed. Shopping has turned into a Sisyphean task, because many larger stores make people leave when the sirens start. School is constantly interrupted, because children must go to the schools’ shelters for every alert." nytimes.com/2026/10/16/world…
