On Terrace Boulevard Shevchenko in Kiev, one of the main thoroughfares in the Ukrainian city, business continues as usual.

The locals are not at all excited about the possibility that Russia will start a war with Ukraine.

The entertainment venues and shopping centers are full as usual, the traffic jams in the afternoon are very noticeable and business people and tourists continue to frequent the hotels in the area.

Only a few are a little apprehensive and worried.

We caught Natasha, a 36-year-old local, in one of the nearby parks on a trip with the baby.

"I'm a little worried," she says.

"But it's mostly a worry because I do not know what to expect. If something happens, I may have to stay home and not be able to leave. I have my personal file with all the documents and some money just in case but I do not do anything different from my routine life. "My two days. I have friends who have already gone to buy food stores and prepared in advance. After all, it is impossible to know what will happen, there may be a closure."

But many locals believe that nothing will happen.
