A Rancho Penasquitos man describes his family’s terror as their apartment was shelled in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
“They write, ‘I can hear sirens so loud. They’re about to start bombing. It’s horrible,’” said Michael Vartani.Since the Russian invasion began, Vartani's aunt, Victoria, along with three cousins and a German shepherd, have been holed up in a second-floor apartment in downtown Kharkiv, blocks away from the central square, which was bombed one week into the conflict.
“They said it was extremely loud. It felt like an earthquake, because they could feel the building was shaking. It was very scary for them,” said Vartani. “It’s winter and very cold. No power. No water. No heating systems … It makes it uninhabitable,” said Vartani.
