Diana Totok, a 19-year-old Ukrainian, has racked up millions of views on TikTok after posting videos that documented her leaving her hometown of Mykolaiv after the Russian invasion began.
Mykolaiv, a key port city in the south of Ukraine, has been the target of fierce attacks since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24. When the bombardments began at 5 am that day, Totok was having a sleepover at a friend's house.
