Ukrainians Turn To Indoor Life Capsules For Safety Amid Air Strikes

Kateryna Storozhuk no longer sleeps in her old bedroom in her apartment in Bucha, west of Kyiv.

The threat of Russian air strikes and flying glass or shrapnel was keeping her up at night. "I was so concerned about it that I couldn't sleep," she said.

Storozhuk decided to take a potentially life-saving step. She bought a steel shelter, called a Life Capsule, and installed it in her spare room.

The unit costs about $2,400 and breaks down into pieces for transport to buyers' homes. Once assembled, it can hold up to six people.
