Every morning, Olga Boichak’s grandmother wakes up at her home in western Ukraine, turns on the television and discovers anew that her country is at war.

Panicked and flashing back to childhood memories of bombings during World War II, she starts packing to evacuate, her granddaughter said. Her husband of six decades hides the house keys and reassures her that everything will be all right, and that their home is the safest place for them.

Before long, the war, the fear and the reassurance will dissipate into the fog of dementia — as have all new memories in recent years. Until the next morning, or the next air raid siren, when the reality of the invasion that has subsumed Ukraine for more than 50 days will find her once more.

“She’s going through the daily trauma of rediscovering that war has begun, and keeps trying to evacuate,” said Boichak, who is based in Sydney and speaks to her grandparents and her aunt, a health care worker who looks after them, weekly over video chat.

She declined to give her grandparents’ names or their exact location in relatively safe western Ukraine out of concern for their safety.

“It’s really heartbreaking,” she said.

Latest developments: Putin ordered the Russian army to cancel the plan to attack the Azovstal iron and steel works Ukrainian officials said the Russian army launched a fierce attack on many places

There are underground tunnels and Soviet era bunkers, but probably in bad shape. I don't know how about food storage - after several weeks of encirclement, it may be empty.
Russians should be in possession of plans of the bunkers, as they're soviet-era. I can't rule out any sinister plans on their side... Chemical or bio weapon could "do the job" in such a fortess if you knew all the exits and entrances... provided no one leaves alive to tell the world...

Damn, my ability to think like a psychopath scares me.

Probably realize that if they engage in a fight they may lose badly.. but if they just wait, the Ukrainians may run out of food and water etc before they do and then be unable to put up much of a fight. May be as simple as that.

Hopefully there’s air backup on the way before that can happen.. that’d be dope.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

According to Ukrainian sources, nothing actually changed despite the declaration. Azovstal is being shelled and stormed just like it used to be.

Possibly off topic.

Two months ago, there were few people who dared to publicly support Russia on the Chinese Internet. This has nothing to do with censorship, just because it would be attacked by others.

A month ago, pro-Russians on the Chinese Internet would call pro-Ukrainians "Taiwanese spies", and pro-Ukraines would call pro-Russians "yellow-skinned Russians".
(And it seems that some people sincerely believe that people who disagree with them are Taiwanese spies, and the evidence is that public opinion on the Chinese Internet was different after the last power outage in Taiwan)

Now speaking under related questions will display the country/region of the user's IP.
That accusation has finally stopped. They finally began to seriously discuss military matters.

Azovstal being left alone for now, Mariupol still getting shelled and sieged.
