Ukrainian singer Natalia Mogilevskaya shared a harrowing account of seeking shelter with her children during a recent Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv. In a video posted to her Instagram, Mogilevskaya captured the sounds of the assault and the fear experienced while hiding, describing the situation as "just the beginning" and expressing a lack of words and tears.

The attack, which occurred on the night of June 15, reportedly saw approximately 60 missiles fired at Kyiv. Unian.net reported that the strikes resulted in casualties, injuries, and significant damage to numerous homes. The noise of the bombardment was audible even near Mogilevskaya's residence, underscoring the widespread impact of the assault on the capital.

Following Mogilevskaya's post, which included her daughters in the video, many offered messages of support in the comments section. Notably, Russian singer Alla Pugacheva, who has publicly condemned Russia's aggression and left the country with her husband, comedian Maxim Galkin, reacted emotionally. Pugacheva, known for her strong stance against the war, left a simple yet poignant comment: an icon of folded hands, often used to symbolize prayer and support.

Pugacheva's brief but heartfelt response garnered thousands of likes, with many interpreting it as a sign of solidarity and a recognition of the war's brutality. Despite the limited nature of her comment, it served as a powerful testament to the ongoing conflict and its human cost, resonating with many who are watching the events unfold.

Unfortunately, today is just the beginning... There are no words, no tears... We are holding on... Hug each other, if you have each other.
