Viktor, 23, Sofiia, 18, and their dog, Teddy, were bedding down(躺下睡觉，过夜) for the night on Thursday at the Dorohozhychi metro station three stops from Kyiv’s city centre. The couple have sheltered(躲避，避难) here “every night for the past three weeks”, Viktor said, as the missile threat to the city worsened; the dog, only three months old, has been with them a fortnight.

The atmosphere in the Ukrainian capital has shifted(转变，改变) in the past couple of months as the war has returned more sharply to the home front(后方，大后方). Russian high-speed ballistic missiles are routinely(例行地，经常地) targeting the city and Ukraine’s military have run out of the interceptors(拦截弹，截击机) from the only weapon system that can stop them, US-made Patriots(爱国者导弹系统). The anxiety that hangs over the wartime city has intensified.(笼罩在战时城市上空的焦虑加剧了。)
过去几个月，随着战争更猛烈地回到后方，乌克兰首都的气氛发生了变化。俄罗斯高速弹道导弹经常瞄准这座城市，而乌克兰军方已经耗尽了唯一能拦截这些导弹的武器系统——美国制造的“爱国者”——的拦截弹。笼罩在这座战时城市上空的焦虑加剧了。
