Nighttime alarms and hours spent in underground shelters have become routine for thousands of Ukrainians. Given the almost daily shelling and massive attacks, families with children are particularly acutely experiencing this reality, for whom bomb shelters, underground parking garages, and the metro have become makeshift bedrooms. To make these nights at least a little more comfortable, city dwellers are ingeniously furnishing their "temporary homes" using tourist equipment.

LIGA.net delved into this new reality and investigated how the war has changed the consumer habits of Ukrainians and how the market is reacting to it. In this article, you will learn:

  • What do Ukrainians most often buy for comfortable overnight stays in shelters, especially if they have children with them?
  • How much do tents, folding beds, and mattresses cost, and which ones are really worth buying.
  • Is there a shortage of the most popular equipment?
  • How are the largest Ukrainian retailers, such as "Epicenter" and Rozetka, responding to the surge in demand, and are prices rising? (Exclusive comments from market representatives inside).
  • How much does it cost to assemble a basic "comfort kit" for spending the night in a shelter?
