Russian forces are waging a psychological war on Ukraine's capital. Their weapon is relentless bombardment.
The attacks on Kyiv happen day after day. They often target key infrastructure. This leaves residents without electricity.
But the greater toll is a widespread deprivation of sleep. The constant threat of air raids and explosions makes rest nearly impossible. This strategy aims to exhaust the city's population.
Experts call this "sleep deprivation warfare." The goal is to break civilian morale through constant stress and fatigue. For Kyiv's residents, survival now includes finding moments of rest in a city that never sleeps.
