It has been several days since the war started in Ukraine. While many people somehow managed to escape with their families to other countries by crossing borders, it was not possible for everyone. There are many people who stayed behind with their families. These people are now showing the world what it feels like to live in a war-torn country and these pictures share a silent message of how war is never the answer and the ones who suffer due to political decisions are always the innocent public.

Writer's Note:
In another video, the woman explains that they do actually allow pets in bomb shelters, just that they don't allow these particular breeds as people often are afraid of them (despite the video showing that they are very friendly) and there are a lot of them, which means preparing food and walking them will be a problem. She also has cats and kids to take care of which makes transporting and maintaining it all very difficult. Hence she decided to stay at home.
