Kharkiv, the second-most populous city in Ukraine, is under constant shelling. It is bombed by planes, rockets are launched from the territory of Russia, and MLRS missiles are fired from the Kharkiv region itself, which Russian troops entered. More than 600 houses in the city were damaged or destroyed, and more than half of the population (more than 600,000) left Kharkiv.
The buildings of the state regional administration, city council, police, Security Service of Ukraine, and historic buildings that survived two World Wars… but did not survive this, the third, were destroyed.
Local authorities have nowhere else to work, so hromadske meets with the mayor in the metropolitan and the head of the region - near the affected by numerous shellings Karazin University. Both are already thinking about how to rebuild the city, considering its appearance in the future, and gathering architects to plan the construction of temporary housing.
Meanwhile, in several districts of Kharkiv, entire houses have been smashed to pieces: people remain in bomb shelters because there is constant shelling outside and because they simply have nowhere else to go. Up to 500-600 citizens live in one shelter.
Hundreds of volunteers travel under bombings and MLRS projectiles all over the city (and even outside the city). They deliver everything to remote areas: medicines, food, clothes, mattresses, and sleeping bags. Abandoned animals are fed, women and children are evacuated, and the dead are taken out. This is how everyone tries to live on, even if it is impossible to call it life.
