Russia’s navy is said to have 40 cruise missiles aimed at Ukraine and has warned of “increased attacks” but this has not halted the humanity of Kyiv's locals who have flocked to the city's riverside beaches in an act of defiant relaxation, seen on Monday (June 13).

The signs warn that the area is unsafe and that the water isn't meant for swimming but dozens of residents take their needed escape on these Dneiper River shores.

"In general, it is disturbing [the air raid sirens and missile warnings], of course, but life needs you to relax a little. Of course, I'm worried about what is happening in the country, but I lie down and rest, we're used to it now," a local named Viktor said to the camera, saying that he was now unemployed as an HVAC installation expert.
