Sovsun began by describing an interaction between her and her 10-year-old son during an attack on Kyiv on Oct. 10: "We woke up and I was about to take him to school when I read on the news that there were explosions in Kyiv,” says Sovsun. "At first, I thought, 'OK, we can still hide in the bathroom.' Then I heard some explosions myself and I realized I should probably go to the bomb shelter, which in our case is the closest metro station.
