“That time and this time,” she wrote in a tweet published on 28 February. “In that time, I used to read The Economist and Financial Times in the morning to check the business news. In this time, I’m reading the Ukrainian Parliament and City Council to check war news.

“To be continued. I’ll be sharing two realities to show how war changes our life.”

And on 1 March, after she fled Kyiv, Antipina posted: “6:27pm in #Slavuta. Please meet a new view from my window. I’m in Western Ukraine. It’s soooo quiet here. No explosions, no air attacks, no horrors. But my country is at war. My people are dying. My buildings are falling.”

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, accounts like Antipina’s are providing a heartbreaking look at what’s really happening in the country – and reminding us of the people behind the figures we see in headlines and news stories.
