the population ready to do anything to defend themselves

In Dnipro (Ukraine), civilian women prepare Molotov cocktails, in a school transformed into a clandestine workshop. Makeshift Bottles and Wicks: This war effort recalls scenes from World War I. A woman explains that her husband is on the front line. These Molotov cocktails are used by Ukrainian civilians against Russian tanks, even if it means burning themselves.

In this workshop, 1,500 Molotov cocktails are made every day. There are five such workshops in Dnipro, it is becoming a real industry. Outside, the alarms are ringing. The city lives in fear. In another workshop, sewing this time, designers make bulletproof vests. Outside, in broad daylight, other people are building makeshift roadblocks around the city, on all the major roads. Tires and wood are put down to warm up, for months if necessary.
