Valentina 76 and Anatoli 68, we’re preparing for Anatoli’s birthday breakfast but instead they “got a gift from Putin” with a missile .
They have lived in the shelter below their apartment since the missile landed on April 16 . Valentina is too scared to go back to her apartment and attempt to clean it in case of another rocket attack .

Badly damaged 1950’s residential homes in an industrial area of Mykolaiv which was struck by a Russian missile on April 16 .

There have been water shortages in Mykolaiv since Russian rockets struck the main water supply in mid April . This leaves the population in a daily routine of filling up empty bottles from vending machines or municipal water deliveries donated by neighbouring regions .

Mykolaiv is a strategic shipbuilding city which stands between Russian occupied Kherson in the East and Odessa in the west and has repulsed a number of offensives by invading Russian forces since February 26 2022 .
