the bbc's zhanna bezpiatchuk, who's sheltering with her parents as i speak in a residential suburb in kyiv. for the moment, the whole country, all of ukraine became the front line. at some point i had to take some breaks between lives and just get out of my home and watch what was happening. if any missile strikes were in the air in the skies over kyiv. i wanted very much to do everything that it was possible to at the moment. so i decided to continue reporting. and at the same time i had this thought in my mind all the time, how tell parents what to do when we have to evacuate, if we have to flee kyiv. so, that was the beginning of warfor me. one of the things that i realized that it's really important to meet your professional commitment as a journalist. i felt that, in fact, all my previous experience with journalism was like a preparation that helped me stay focused and be able to do yourjob on this day. what seemed very clear in those early days was that the russians would try hard to get to the capital and to topple the ukrainian government, and try to achieve a quick victory. s
