“We are crying here all the time. We are scared and some of us can’t leave our cities or Ukraine. Enemies bombarding a lot cities in Ukraine and also the regular citizens. God, help us. Praying for Ukraine,” tweeted one of the admins of the Twitter account BTS Ukraine UAverse, a BTS ARMY fanbase.
A week ago before Russian invaded Ukraine, BTS Ukraine UAverse celebrated the birthday of BTS member J-Hope, which was on Feb. 18, with a billboard on a rapid transit station in the capital city of Kyiv.
On Feb. 25, the BTS fanbase uploaded a photo on Twitter of the the J-Hope billboard in the station, which has become a bomb shelter for thousands of Ukrainians.
“Our project for J-Hope from UAverse Ukraine in Kyiv metro. It’s hard to see how people now saving their lives here but a few weeks ago we made photos and laugh there. We just crying and can’t believe smth like this happens in Ukraine. This war is a nightmare,” the fanbase admin posted.
She shared what is happening in Ukraine.
“A lot people asking how we are and what’s going on in Ukraine. The cities still bombarded. I was in bomb shelter today. The scariest day in my life,” she tweeted.
She added, “Now I (one of the admins) trying my best to move from Ukraine. I run away with my pets and mom. God help us. I’m praying for other admins in Ukraine. We are on the phones all the time. I’m praying that regular citizens will be safe. I’m praying all the time,” she said.
The admin also shared a video of the assault by Russian troops in Ukraine.
“This is what’s going on in Ukraine now. R/ussia bombarding regular citizens and also the airports and a lot parts of Ukraine, especially Kyiv. God, help us to go through this and stay alive. As far as we know p/utin wants to grab our Ukrainian capital and bombard cities,” she said.
She said she wants to leave Ukraine to be safe but she is unable to because of the chaos.
“Personally I want to leave Ukraine now, but it’s impossible Bc bombarding are everywhere, waiting 1-2 days and hoping for the best to go to the west part of Ukraine and after that to another country if that will be possible. I really hope someone will help there,” she added.
She thanked Ukrainian soldiers for defending the country.
“At night a lot R/ussian troops and soldiers tried to cross all possible cities borders. Enemies bombarding almost all Ukrainian cities. Thanks god to Ukrainian soldiers saved us tonight. God help us. We don’t know what they want from regular citizens?” she said.

World leaders slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine.
Ireland’s deputy head of government Leo Varadkar said Putin is becoming the Adolf Hitler of the 2st century.
“We knew that Putin was a bad man, we’ve known that for a long time now. But we didn’t think that he would be the Hitler of the 21st century, and I think he’s putting himself into that space,” Varadkar told RTE Radio One, the UK’s Independent reported.
“With tears on our eyes we just want peace in Ukraine and around the world. God help us. No cities are safe so it’s really hard to stay calm. Everyone just don’t know what to do. We losing jobs and everything around us. Thank u everyone for praying for us. We are praying too,” the BTS fanbase admin wrote.
