Reply to comment by [deleted] in Kyiv residents told to head to air raid shelters as sirens wail across city by redcccp

Kyiv subways are usually warm in the winter and that's where most of the shelters are. But yeah, I get it; can't imagine living there under constant threat.

Sadly some people might take the warning lightly and not go to shelters. Zelensky even said in his Letterman interview that people are getting used to air raid sirens =/

Huh. I knew the Moscow subway was built deep to double as a blast shelter. Kyiv's is 21 meters lower at its deepest, at 105 meters.

That’s because the smartest and most qualified people in the USSR came from Ukraine.

Wasn’t that sub, the Moskova, built in Ukraine?

“Moskva” is “Slava” class cruiser and they were built in Mykolaiv. 2 of them are still in russian navy, just not in Black Sea fleet. There’s also unfinished cruiser which is in Mykolaiv port

Not some, but the vast majority. We just keep on living, being hit by a rocket is basically the same probability as being hit by car in an accident.
