The missile came from russia this morning. Without explosion. However, it is between the student dormitory (about 50 meters) and the building of our School. In God we trust! And hope for Ukrainian soldiers Source: Prof. Acad. Igor Girka

Today I was awakened by the sounds of explosions at 06-00. Fight was somewhere in the northeast from my house. Yesterday the fight was so close to my home that another house in my street got several missiles, luckily in a blank wall and with some angle, which resulted in no victims. Our mayor invited citizens to give their blood at a special hospital two days ago. Yesterday the hospital was bombarded by russian military planes. Some civilian buildings were destroyed in the city in the course of bombarding the buildings of the military academy. There are some students in our dormitory. They cannot go home since they live either on the territory which is temporarily occupied or where fights take place just now. After the missile attack on the dormitory (the missile landed dozens of meters from the dormitory) they spend most time in the cellar of the nearest hospital. They were very scared by the missile and a fight which took place two hundred meters from the dormitory and the hospital they hid at that time. Source: Prof. Acad. Igor Girka, Dean of Phys.

I live in the suburbs. My multi storage house is the last. In my windows, I can see the beltline and further – countryside. All day yesterday and in the late night russian tanks tried to break Ukrainian soldiers. But our boys did not let them come in. I do not look into the windows during the fights. I can only see bonfires in the breaks. russian tanks and vehicles flame. The enemy destroyed lines of power supply and internet cables yesterday. After the curfew, the mayor services renewed the supply and later – internet connection. My driver lives a couple of kilometers from me closer to the city center. We talked with him in the morning today. He says a mine crater appeared in front of his house during the night bombardment. There are no military targets in that vicinity: civilian buildings, a school and kindergarten – no more! Source: Prof. Acad. Igor Girka, Dean of Phys. Tech., V.N. Karazin Kharkov National University

Today morning I met the fifth day of the war. All day long yesterday and all night with short breaks I heard sounds of explosions of different power. Yesterday, the main direction was not 2 km but 15 km from me. There is the settlement where my School of Physics and Technology is situated, as well as Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. Many professors from the University and researchers from the Institute live there. The settlement is to the north of the city by the road Kharkiv-Belgorod (Ukraine-russia). The enemy’s way to the Kharkiv center lies through the settlement. Yesterday, russian missiles hit several times into the civilian targets in the settlement. In the pictures, one can see, in particular, a splinter in the wall of the flat and on the table (after drawing out of the wall). In the other picture, a mine crater is photographed two meters from the apparatus of the children’s playground. Photos: town of science town Pyatikhatki

Today is the sixth day of the war. However, it is impossible to get used to the sounds of explosions outdoors. Four notes about yesterday. First. From the beginning, the enemy fired at some buildings inside the city which had some relation to militaries, like airport, military university… Yesterday they fired at housing developments (https://www.facebook.com/). I easily recognize the place in the video since we often walk there with my wife. You can find other videos on the internet as well. Second. Yesterday, my University grieved about the first student who was killed during these days. He went to defend his Motherland in the first days. (https://www.univer.kharkov.ua/) Excuse me: the information is now in Ukrainian only. Third. This is about Sunday, February 27. russian diversion group came to the city, occupied the building of the secondary school. They were rendered harmless, but the building was destroyed. You can visit the internet and see the building before and after the fight. ( Fourth. Yesterday, I demonstrated the photos. One of them was with the door of a car. The hole in the glass is not from a bullet. No automatic rifles were used that time there. It was identified by my colleagues-physicists as that from a metal wall. It looks like the enemy used cluster bombs with 5-6 mm metal balls banned by an international convention. Today morning we had an air strike on the regional state administration in Kharkiv. Two buildings of the University in the central square were damaged. We came under artillery fire. It is not yet possible to scale the destruction. Our guards in the basement.

Today is the seventh day of the war. Bombardments continue. In the breaks I continue translating the educational materials for teaching nuclear fusion in secondary schools into Ukrainian. They were initially prepared by Sander Korteweg from Fusenet in English. Most of teachers and students speak English, nevertheless I do the translation. We have a curfew. Most of the colleagues spent all the day and night in bombproof shelters. What happened yesterday. First. I have already reported on the explosion in the main square of the city – Svobody sq. (square of Freedom). Two main buildings of the University are situated there. Glass in windows of the University was broken by the explosion wave. Second. The University has the second victim in its team (https://www.univer.kharkov.ua/). This time it is a Professor (head of the Department of economy theory and public finances) Oleg Amosov. He died from injuries received one day before during the shelling by the russian occupiers of a peaceful residential area in Kharkiv. Third. Yesterday evening, russian military aircrafts flew several times over my house. It was not very pleasant to hear and see them, despite they bombed somewhere in other place of the city and some of them were shot down as reported our administration and confirm my alumni who lives nearby the place where the fragments landed. Fourth. Two days ago, I demonstrated the photos. One of them was with the door of a car. My colleagues suggested that the enemy used cluster bombs with 5-6 mm metal balls banned by an international convention. Yesterday, I asked one of them (Ivan Guk) to make detailed pictures. He did and I attach some of them hereafter.

Today is the eighth day of the war. Bombardments continue. In the breaks I finished translating the first module of the educational materials for teaching nuclear fusion in secondary schools into Ukrainian. What happened yesterday. First. I have already reported on the explosion in the other separate building of the University. russsian bomb hit in the building of School of Economics of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. According to preliminary information, three people were killed. Then the total number of victims within the University team is five. And there are still more than 3,000 foreign students who hide in basements and beg, pray for a green corridor and a special evacuation train. Second. The second secondary school suffered from bombing yesterday. I have not anybody from my staff there to take a picture. That is why I provide links to local media. https://ua.news/ru/foto-vorozhij-snaryad-poshkodiv-shkolu-u-harkovi/ https://ukraine.segodnya.ua/ukraine/v-harkove-rossiyskiy-snaryad-popal-v-shkolu-foto-1606352.html

| No message from Igor Girka today. We sincerely hope that this is due to the fact that part of Kharkov has no more internet access.

| Today is the tenth day of the war. Eight days I sat in my apartments and could see the fight in direct view from my windows. And even the sounds of the explosions and the fight did not force me to move away. However, after a missile hit the house in the direct neighborhood of my house in my eyes, I decided to move away from Kharkiv.
Please, pay attention to two issues since my previous report. First. My relatives spent this week in underground which is now transferred into shelter. What is important! Mayor services provide for free: water, food, hygienic things… for everybody, milk, special food, diapers… for children. Volunteers assist for elder people. They provide three–time food for free. On the other hand, sitting under ground for a long time destroys psychological health. Second. On March 5, sport facilities of Kharkiv University were destroyed (https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-regions/3421298-u-harkovi-rosijska-aviacia-rozbombila-sportkompleks-universitetu.html) We ask to shelter the airspace over Ukraine! P.S. Since I am not in Kharkiv more, most likely, this is my last report.

    Date: 09/03/2022 “Yesterday, Dr. Valentine Bobkov visited his lab for studying the interaction of charged particle beams with solid surface in the building (picture 3) of the School of Physics and Technology, V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University. Formerly, flowers greeted everybody who came into the building. Now it is cold, nobody can water the flowers (picture 2). Because of permanent shelling the missile (between the building of the school and the dormitory) is not removed still (picture 1).“ |

Today is the sixteenth day of the war. I have already reported on the strafing of the building of the School of Physics and Technology, V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University by russian troops. In particular, the laboratory of fluorescence spectroscopy. For these days nobody could come inside because the lock melted. However, some water flew from the room and it was necessary to stop this. Yesterday, I asked Dr. Valentine Bobkov to apply special tools to open the door. One can see destruction in the picture. Head of the Department of materials for reactor design and physical technologies Professor Serhiy Lytovchenko spent these days in a shelter together with his daughter and neighbours. His daughter Vira is a violinist. One day she put her dress for concerts on and played the melody of the song “What a Moonlit Night” for the neighbours in the shelter (https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=4919661764786134). She played to drown out the sounds of explosions for people with whom she has spent 9 days there. Yesterday, I looked through the pictures of well-known Kharkiv photographer Leonid Logvynenko. My attention was drawn to the picture of the orthodox Christian church suffered from the russian cannonade. Ukrainians saw much from russian army: strafing of secondary schools and Universities, houses and churches… However, on March 9, we (and I hope, all the mankind except of russian militaries) were saddened by russian troops who carried out a devastating air strike on the orphanage and maternity hospital in Mariupol. Children were under the rubble. (https://www.radiosvoboda.org/a/video-aviaudar-po-dytyachiy-likarni-ta-polohovomu-budynku-v-mariupoli/31744998.html) With the hope for Ukrainian soldiers and international support, Igor Girka Photos: Valentine Bobkov, photographer Leonid Logvynenko, |

russians continue destroying objects of education. Yesterday, Professor of the Medical School Igor Belozorov sent the picture to me. On one hand, the building is that of the University hospital. One more hospital destroyed by russians! On the other hand, this hospital is especially important for me since thirty years of my life beginning with my birth; it was the hospital where I applied if it was necessary. The building is situated twenty meters from the house I lived in those thirty years. Pray for the victory, Ukrainian soldiers and international support |

Today is the 26th day of the russian war against Ukraine. russians continue killing my colleagues.
Defending his native Kharkiv from the invasion of the russian occupation troops, Olexander Bezugly, an associate professor of the Department of Regional Administration and Local Self-Government, died heroically. It is sad. It is a painful loss. He was a true man, young and full of strength and energy, a model of teaching, an active public figure, one of the organizers of the territorial defense of Kharkiv region; reliable, useless friend and companion. Glory to the Hero! Bright and eternal memory to the colleague! Pray for the victory, Ukrainian soldiers and international support. Date: 21/03/22 |
