“May 4, 2022. Liudmyla Kirichenko, 75 years old, has lived in a basement bunker at her apartment building since the beginning of the Russian invasion in the heavily shelled Kharkiv, Ukraine, neighborhood of Saltivka. With her neighbor Sasha Zolotov, she has helped rescue animals lost during the war; she especially loves the elegant gray cat with piercing green eyes she calls Meow-Meow.”
