The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has issued a warning that Russia may try to ruin Ukraine’s Independence Day by targeting Kyiv with new attack.

“There is an elevated risk of both nighttime and daytime Russian drone and missile attacks across Ukraine in the coming days and through the weekend due to Ukraine’s Independence Day on August 24,” the statement reads.

The embassy urged its citizens to stay alert on the days leading to August 24 and take necessary precautions for their safety.

After the full-scale invasion, thousands of Ukrainian women were forced to flee abroad to save their children. Oleksandra Nikitina was one of them—she had to evacuate her three children to Europe. She also enrolled at the London School of Economics and Political Science, wrote research on the uniqueness of Ukrainian volunteering, and founded the project “Vtomlena” (translated “Fatigued”). In an interview with Bukvy, she recounts her journey from Crimea to her current research work, which lays the groundwork for future changes in Ukraine.
