A Ukrainian woman has taken to social media to show what her life is now like following Russia's invasion.
Ukrainian Valeria Shashenok, 20, has been using Tiktok to document her life in an underground bomb bunker in northern Ukraine where she "shows what it's like in real life".
Shashenok's videos - under the username @valerisssh - have gone viral with more than 60 million views, a quarter of a million followers and nearly 10 million likes.
Shashenok lives in Chernihiv where Russia has been dropping bombs on residential areas. At least 33 civilians have been killed during the conflict there.
Her videos document her new life of cooking with tinned food and dry goods in bomb shelters to "pretend she's in a Michelin-starred restaurant" and going on daily walks to see her "bombed-out city" that show buildings, housing complexes and hospitals destroyed and turned to rubble.
One video showed devastating images of a hospital with the captions saying, "amazing repair of a hospital by Vladimir Putin," as pictures show a completely destroyed hospital. "How did he do that? Maybe someone knows?"
Her videos caught the attention of American media outlet CNN who interviewed her about what her life is currently like.
"To be honest, the situation in my country every day is getting worse. I am really blessed as I'm with my family in the most safe place in a bomb shelter," she told CNN.
"I am a photographer, it's like my first job and I like to make videos and TikToks, it's nice social media to show what I see in real life .... and it's one of my missions is to show people how it looks in real life, it is real life and I'm here."
"Many people write to me saying Valeria thank you very much for showing us real life. Many Russian people write to me and say 'we are with you', but you know in Russia there is a lot of fake news and most of the people don't believe that in my country that we have a war," she said.
"Again my mission is to show the whole world that it's happening now in real life, and you can see war on TikTok.
"I want to say every day, every person, say thanks to everything, to simple things and understand that life and freedom is the most important thing that we have."
