Amid ongoing strikes by Russia, some Ukrainians are turning to a new kind of air-raid shelter for protection. Kateryna Storozhuk, a resident of Bucha, has installed a 'Life Capsule' in her home.

The $2,400 steel pod can hold up to six people and withstand 43 tons of weight, according to the manufacturer. But one expert tells RFE/RL the new shelter has some drawbacks.
