Daily life in Kyiv involves weighing—and living with—potentially deadly risks, according to a report by The New York Times that follows a day in the Ukrainian capital. Its account frames the city as a battlefield of a different kind, far from the front line.

The report characterises Russia’s pressure on Kyiv as an effort to make the capital unlivable. Only its headline and summary were available for this dispatch; they provide no specific incidents, casualty figures or resident testimony with which to assess that characterisation further.
