Voice of Ukraine

From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 666):

‭‭Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.
Psalm‬ ‭66:8‭-‬9‬

It’s another drone attack on Kyiv, and we are sleeping in our hallway. We heard several explosions, and there are reports of drone fragments hitting an apartment building.

I know it sounds horrible, yet even despite these attacks, it feels good to be home. Four months ago, I wasn’t sure what life back in Kyiv would be like, but now I know that little can compare to being at home.

Even though we spent the first 18 months of this full-scale war at my grandma’s, it still wasn’t really our home, and we never knew what would trigger the unbearable wave of homesickness. It could be a dish we used to make, a picture on my phone, or a significant day we had to miss.
That’s why, every night, we thank God that He keeps us safe and that we still have our home unlike many people who have lost their homes forever.
