It is early morning in Kiev, Ukraine. The crisp morning air that surrounds the people walking towards the Besarabsky Square, makes them look like human trains, as their breath leaves puffs of “smoke” trailing behind their quickened pace. A few greetings are exchanged as friends and locals who have been working alongside each other for years all head in the same direction. They have so much to do before the day is much older.
