British Ambassador Melinda Simmons has admitted that even when she is outside of Ukraine, she is frightened by loud noises after more than a month of almost daily Russian missile attacks on Kyiv.
Simmons shared her feelings on Twitter, Ukrinform reported.
“I am in UK for some meetings & how it feels to not be in Ukraine after living through nightly Russian airstrikes is beyond words. A motorbike backfires and hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Any kind of bang and my heart races,” she wrote.
