00:02Hello there, my name is Bogdan, I'm 20 years old, I'm a student and I'm from Odessa, Ukraine.
00:11As you can see, we don't have much lights here right now and that happens quite often.
00:18I think you know why and I just want to show you what life looks and feels like in Ukraine
00:26right now in times of war.
00:30So, thank you.
00:34Another day, just had a few air alerts.
00:43There were some ballistic missiles actually, but fortunately they are not for us.
00:50Some people are running, hope I can zoom in, yeah.
00:56So I'm about to show you what I usually do in the morning.
01:00How my routine looks like and also some plans for the day.
01:07So today is actually a lucky day because we have lights, but that's not for long.
01:17So, actually I don't like having lights in the morning.
01:20We have some water ready, just in case something happens with the water.
01:27There are actually a few of these in my wardrobe.
01:34That's a tiny backpack just with some documents and important stuff that I usually take with me if it's really
01:46dangerous out there.
01:47And we need to move to the bomb shelter.
01:52Do you know what actually proved to be quite efficient and crucial once the power outage started?
02:00The first thing is having this, just regular matches.
02:06And then, that is a gas stove.
02:11If we had an electric one, we would be doomed.
02:15But with this beautiful thing, we are quite sufficient even if we have no electricity for seven days straight.
02:27And this actually happened because we can cook something, heat something up in any time we want.
02:38And well, of course, if there is no power, you can't use this, yeah.
02:43But at least we have the matches, so it's all right.
02:47Do you know what else feels good in the morning?
02:50Of course, a quick shower.
02:53But what can you do if you have no lights and you need it?
02:57Well, I'm about to show you what I usually do in these types of situations.
03:02So, let's go to the bathroom.
03:05And as soon as you enter, you can see some automatic lights.
03:11But that's not all, because I can attach one really good flashlight right at my boiler.
03:20So, it shines right here.
03:23I have also this flashlight.
03:26It's getting a little bit dim, but still can be used.
03:30So, I usually put it somewhere like this.
03:33So, it's just some additional light.
03:36And for the final one, the third.
03:40Sorry, I actually use it right by my side.
03:47Yeah.
03:50So, it at least resembles the lights.
03:56Yeah.
03:59And just like this, with all the morning routine done,
04:03teeth brushed, breakfast cooked, shower taken,
04:07and of course, all the food properly stored back on the balcony.
04:12I can start my day.
04:15These few weeks, I still have my winter holidays.
04:19So, I'm kind of free of all the university stuff.
04:23So, my plans for today are to have a lesson with my students, because I'm a tutor.
04:30And I have also a little walk plan with my friends.
04:34So, I'll show you some places, tell you some stuff, and I'll see you there.
04:51We used to have a lot of museums and art galleries, but most of them are temporarily closed,
04:58as of right now, because of the missile strikes, of danger, of being completely destroyed,
05:06with all the paintings, all the sculptures, all the cultural heritage.
05:10Because Russia wages war against every living and not living thing that is here.
05:17It makes no exceptions.
05:19I don't know if this can be heard in the videos, but right now, our fighter jets are trying to
05:25intercept and destroy Russia's scouting drones.
05:31So, right now, they are flying above us, fighting.
05:35And these types of sounds, you know, the drone, the explosions, they find us every day, in random
05:43moments, and that's the most horrifying part about this, because you always need to be ready.
05:50Because sometimes, it's dangerous, it's close to you, sometimes the bomb shelters are quite far away.
05:59So, every time, I'm actually quite sensible, sensitive to the noise outside, because of all of this.
06:11First glance, these two look like, you know, common residential buildings.
06:17But actually, two years ago, Russian drone, Shachet drone struck these two.
06:25It was almost like a head-on collision.
06:29As you can see by the marks, it scratched the house.
06:33But well, of course, the wreckage was really bad.
06:37And then it hit this one, like straight into it.
06:42Most of the damage has been cleared out, apartments renovated.
06:46But, well, I've actually lived in this building for four years.
06:53So, every time, every day, almost, as I pass this one,
07:00it feels like a place of tragedy.
07:02Because, well, I passed my former home, and I need to, well, you usually, yeah,
07:08when you pass your former house, home, I don't know.
07:10So, you think about the war memories, or something like that.
07:15I just think about death, and how life can abruptly end,
07:20just like that, because somebody just wanted to destroy your country, your home.
07:30Now, then, it's just like a crowd, bye-bye!
