This letter from the Ukrainian journalist can cause you to cry: “5 am hour...”

Ukrainian journalist Natalia Gumenyuk has written a powerful emotional letter to Guardian, from Kiev, until the attack by Russia began today.

This is a piece of paper, translates Periscope from the Guardian:

“For many years, I've been careful to compare any dictator with Hitler or some war with World War II. To make such comparisons, to me it was excessive, even vulgar.

But what other analogys you can use now. For no reason, with a clean drive of madness, an old - fashioned form was attacked through the air by a neighboring country.

I told this to a Russian colleague and tried not to cheat on me. She apologized.

There's a famous saying: “at 4am Kyevi was bombed”. Every Ukrainian and Russian kid knows that. So the German bombing on Kiev sounded in 1941.

And here we are: February 24th, 5:00 a.m. Kiev was bombed by Russia. /Periscope.
