In the dark hours of the curfew in Kharkiv, a quiet tension pulses through the city’s empty streets. People working at night balance between everyday life and danger, as Russia often carries out attacks precisely when residents are trying to fall asleep. Their nightly hope is that dawn will arrive in silence.
