In the early hours of a June night, Russian missiles and drones tore through Kyiv's Vynohradar neighbourhood and struck cities across Ukraine, killing at least 22 people and driving more than 41,000 into underground shelters. The targets Russia named were military; the dead were civilians. This is not a new story in the long arc of this war, but each repetition carves deeper into the lives of those who must emerge, again, into a changed landscape and ask what remains of the world they knew.
