"My building is on one of the hills and all districts hear this anthem.

"I am staying here now, I want to stay here, many people go out of Ukraine but...I will not run from my native city, this is my home and I want to be here in the heart of Kyiv and sing for my people and maybe I will sing my national anthem again from this window.

"I want to say to Putin, you're a murderer, you're an aggressor, Ukraine was never against Russia.

She added: "Like our soldiers say: 'F*** you."
