I keep the Kyiv camera on during breakfast when planning trips, especially to check the weather before heading out. It is calmer than cable news and usually steady, though on a slow evening the views can feel repetitive unless you enjoy watching the city lights change.

I check the Kyiv view in the evening when I want a quick sense of the weather and city atmosphere from abroad. The feed is more basic than cable news, and it can slow down on quiet nights, but seeing Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Sumy in one place is genuinely useful.
