Life Under Shelling — How Kherson Lives Now.

The situation in Kherson is extremely tense. The war has left its mark on the city's residents, who work and live in fear for their lives. Despite the constant shelling, people in Kherson continue to fight, rebuilding their homes and supporting each other.

The war in Kherson is felt every second. Here, there are not just sirens — there are explosions, debris, constant danger, and silence after another strike. But despite the ongoing shelling, destruction, and psychological exhaustion, people still live and work in Kherson. They repair damaged property, support each other, and hold on to what is theirs — because this is their home.

A large part of Kherson's residents live under distrust, fear, and anxiety. The events of last year have left a deep mark on the hearts of those who live here. Pro-Russian information attacks easily penetrate the defensive barriers created by the community. For many Kherson residents, everyday trips to the store or getting coffee can become the last. Prolonged stress and restrictions force people to adapt to a new reality.

Living under shelling means you go to the store, but count the minutes to the next 'arrival.' You drink coffee, not knowing if it will be your last sip. Many have already gotten used to it — and this is also a form of protection. The body simply learns not to react. But not everyone can adapt: some are constantly afraid, others flee to shelter at every explosion.

If the war continues in Kherson, residents will have to continue fighting against fear and uncertainty. This is a great test for the entire community, but people show great strength and solidarity in these difficult times.
