A Ukrainian civilian volunteering as an emergency response worker arrived at the scene of the latest Russian attacks on Kyiv Monday only to realize it was the same apartment complex she helped repair after another strike just a month ago."It's a strange feeling because, you know, you always have hope everything is going to be okay," 45-year-old Kateryna Tereshkova told CBS News. "Usually it can be in one district, but different addresses. But here, it's absolutely the same location."Residents who she had already met responding to attacks in June greeted her with dark humor."People who come to us, they say, 'Ah, we remember you. You fixed it already on my balcony, but now I don't have apartments anymore,'" she said. "But, you know, the sense of humor is the main root of our nation."
