There's been speculation for weeks now whether or not residents of Ukraine's capital of Kyiv might hear air raid sirens. On Thursday, February 24, that prediction finally came to pass. After months of an increased military buildup along the Russian-Ukrainian border, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched what he called a "special military operation” in Ukraine. Soon after, explosions were heard around the country, including the capital. Russian troops are outside the city, and people are waiting to see what's next. In this episode, The Take shares one woman's view from Kyiv.
