KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — In makeshift shelters and underground railway platforms across Ukraine, families trying to protect the young and old and make conditions bearable amid the bullets, missiles and shells outside. Hundreds of thousands of citizens rushed to spend yet another night in Kyiv’s subway network as air raid sirens howled overnight Sunday. Among those taking refuge in shelters are some Associated Press journalists, bearing witness to how Ukrainians are coping with the war that is tearing their country apart. Life in Ukraine’s underground shelters is hard — water and fuel shortages are common, toilets sometimes overflow. But families find it hard to complain. One 74-year-old woman noted “it’s much harder for soldiers at the front.”
