Five Ukrainians from across the country have spoken about life since the Russian invasion.
The compelling accounts include one from Evgenija, from Bucha in Kyiv Oblast, who said: “The first shock has gone. We’ve already got used to the sounds of shelling and explosions so we are not scared any more to go outside to message people.
“Though we have already had the war for eight years, it is still impossible to believe that there are bombs and missiles in the centre of Europe. And we don’t understand what the world is waiting for with sanctions.”

More from Peter Beaumont in Lviv on a reported attack by Russian paratroopers in Brody, near the city.
There is a lot of confusion around claims that three Russian helicopters tried to land troops near Brody, about 100km from Lviv in Ukraine’s west.
The major of Lviv, Andrey Sadovy, had this to say on his official page. “At 9 o’clock this morning Russian assault troops landed from three helicopters in vicinity of Brody 60 troops and enemy is withdrawing to the forest. Armed forces are defeating the occupants and the situation is under control.”
However, the security services of Ukraine for the Lviv region are disputing this, saying the information about Russian assault troops near Brody “is fake”, adding: “They were Ukrainian helicopters.”
Purported video footage of what occurred this morning shows a helicopter firing two missiles. If it was a Ukrainian aircraft, it still leaves open the question of what they were firing at.

The Guardian’s Peter Beaumont in Lviv has this on a confrontation between an elderly resident in Melitopol and Russian soldiers.
The Russians claimed to have taken the coastal city today and – while still unconfirmed – this incident would suggest that even some Russian residents are not very pleased to see them.
Here is what he is saying to the soldiers: “Russians invading Ukraine is so fucked up! What are you doing here? We have our life and you have yours. I’m Russian too, but I live in this country.
“You have your own country and we have ours. Don’t you have any problems in your own country? Are you all rich there? Shame on you!”
