Yasya Golovko, humanitarian volunteer, Vyshniakov organization, carries humanitarian aid items in a room at the Nightclub "Heaven" in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday (14/6/2022). The nightclub was converted into a shelter for relief goods for war victims and Ukrainian soldiers who were on the front line.
From the outside, there is nothing special about the Heaven nightclub located in the city center of Kyiv on Tuesday (14/6/2022) – except that there are no signs of it operating. The doors are always closed. The windows are dark. The light up sign is turned off.
When you look inside the building, the nightclub resembles more of a warehouse. Cardboard boxes containing various items are stacked in the corners of the room. The Ukrainian flag is hung on the wall. The area typically used by bartenders has been turned into an office, with several computers there.
