There’s no better way to understand the plight of the Ukrainian people than a first-hand account.
A Ukrainian girl has become a TikTok star because of her daily videos of living in a bomb shelter and showing the devastation in her city. @Valerisssh is from Chernihiv and is living in an underground bunker.
One video called “My Typical Day In A Bomb Shelter” has been viewed over 22 million times. In it, she and her mom do regular things and she also goes to collect items from their actual home.
The girl and her family have received a huge amount of support from commenters including one who commented “You amaze the world with your resilience. Love from America.”
