Monday was a relatively calm day in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
According to Norwegian Tonje Shvets (22), who is married to Ukrainian Vladyslav and lives in Kyiv, the curfew was lifted in the morning and people could move freely until 17.00 this afternoon.

– Now it’s really a bit calm. We have been informed that the next 24 hours will be important, she writes in a text message to Dagbladet.
– Become a slogan
Her husband Vladyslav has been out on the town today.
He has taken photographs from the city showing Ukraine’s special greetings to the Russian soldiers.
– This sign says “Russian soldier, go to hell!”, Tonje explains, referring to the much talked about incident on Slangeøya.
Claims the Russians have mobile crematoria
The message should be inspired by the story of the strategically important Snake Island in the Black Sea south of Ukraine, where a group of soldiers showed his last reluctance against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
– It has in a way become a slogan here, Tonje explains.
The soldiers on the uninhabited island had a brutal encounter with the Russian military during the first day of the invasion of Ukraine on Thursday.

“This is a Russian warship. Lay down your weapons immediately to avoid carnage and unnecessary deaths. In the worst case, you will be hit by a bomb attack ».
This is how the Russians try to deceive you
The warship repeats the warning in Russian in the recording, before a soldier allegedly answers in Russian over the radio:
“Russian warship: Go to hell”.
Different messages
The 13 soldiers were initially thought to be dead, but on Monday it became clear that they are still alive.
The Ukrainian navy confirms on Facebook that the soldiers and border guards on Slangeøya, who were believed to be dead, have been captured by Russian forces.
– We are very happy to know that our brothers are alive and well, the navy writes.

Also along the highway from Boryspil on the way to Kyiv hangs the same message, aimed at Russian soldiers.
Across the highway hangs digital signs, which usually show either advertisements or directions.
Now they should have a different message.
“Russian warships – go to hell!”
According to Tonje, there are several such signs in Ukraine, with different messages to the Russian soldiers.
– There are also several things, such as “Do not die for Putin” and “Do not sacrifice your soul for oligarchs”, she says.
“The Ghost from Kyiv” is hailed as a folk hero
However, she only has a picture of the “Russian soldier, go to hell!” Sign from Kyiv.
