Ukrainians and Russians stand together in Cambridge to denounce the invasion
This time last week, Arsenii Nikolaiev was studying hard. Now the third-year maths student at Trinity College, Cambridge, finds it near-impossible to concentrate.
“Compared to people who are hearing bombardments every day, things are awesome. I can sit at a cafe, order anything, eat, fall asleep, and not be afraid that some explosion will happen above me,” he said. “But I feel pretty mentally bad. I can’t go about my normal life. It’s really hard to focus. I haven’t done a single thing for the past few days.”
