Interview with Andrey
Kyiv, Ukraine / April 17 2022.

Andrey is soldier from the Ukrainian Air Defence Force who used to detect Russian rockets targeting Kyiv. In March 2022, Andrey was stationed in a military base on the outskirts of the city when he and his coworkers heard the whistle characteristic of rockets, but unaccompanied by explosions. They left the base, searched for signs of an explosive, and found that one had landed a few feet from the base walls, but had merely dug into the ground without detonating. If the rocket had exploded, as usually happens, Andrey would undoubtedly have perished. That possible misfortune instead of threatening him, made him feel blessed and gave him even more reasons to keep working for the military to protect Ukrainians from aerial attacks.
