The night after I arrived in Lviv, Ukraine, there was a major air raid. The entire country of Ukraine was on air raid alert. Earlier in the evening loud voices and music from across the street sounded like a party outside of my window. A man’s voice boomed out of nowhere in the middle of the night. His excited voice spoke only in Ukrainian. I did not hear a siren, however that most likely woke me up. “What’s going on” I wondered.

It was a major, possibly the worst ever, air raid from Russia. Drones flying overhead. From my fifth floor apartment, I had no clue what was going on and was glad I survived, when others did not. People died, were injured and buildings demolished.

Then two nights ago, sirens blared. The ominous man’s voice boomed over the load speaker. Now I knew what what was going on.
