For the millions still in Ukraine, especially in areas under siege, life is incredibly difficult. And the world knows their plight, thanks to social media posts from those trying to survive. Olena Ness is in Kyiv with her three children and documenting her life as a mom trying to feed her family in a war zone. Ness is one of hundreds of Ukrainian moms reporting from the thick of the battle. The “Mom News Network” has recorded more than 1,000 videos capturing devastating images of the invasion.

Russian invaders are closing in on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, and the battle is expected to rage street to street. The Ukrainian resistance is defending their streets with a World War II-era anti-tank device called “steel hedgehogs,” which were deployed on the beaches of Normandy by Nazis on D-Day. Now the hedgehogs block city streets everywhere in Ukraine. In a heart-stopping moment, two Ukrainian soldiers defused an undetonated Russian bomb, carefully unscrewing the fuse as shells explode nearby.
