Alina has an emergency backpack beside her bed with documents, money and a first aid kit ready to go. She sleeps fully dressed in case she hears an alarm.
Valeria wakes up in her bomb shelter with her family before eating breakfast. Heading outside, she sees a local movie cinema has been destroyed in the recent attacks.
They are just two of the women who have been sharing what life is like in Ukraine right now on TikTok.
From underground shelters to destroyed city buildings and empty supermarket shelves, Ukrainians are using the social media platform to offer a glimpse of what life looks during a war that has devastated the country for the past two weeks.
Here's what they've shared.
Life inside a bomb shelter.
Like many Ukrainians, photographer Valeria Shashenok has been sheltering in an under-ground bunker in the city of Chernihiv, where 47 civilians where reportedly killed in an airstrike last week.
In videos posted to her 540 thousand TikTok followers, Valeria shares what a typical day looks like living in the bomb shelter with her family and pet dog, including what her mum has been cooking for meals.

Outside of the bunker, Valeria goes shopping for supplies at a local supermarket, which is riddled with empty shelves.

18-year-old travel blogger Alina Volik has also shared footage inside her bunker, explaining how her life has changed since the invasion.
"Our gym: to go to the shelter and go back home," she writes in a video shared with her 74,000 followers.
