‘Drones all night. By morning, you smell the smoke’: life in the last hotel on Ukraine’s frontline
Amid blackouts, artillery fire and the onslaught of Russian drone attacks, the Richelievsky in Kherson provides a refuge for those with nowhere else to go There is one important rule in the Richelievsky, Kherson’s last functioning hotel: close the curtains before dusk.
