It's no good Roman, with all that ever increasing light pollution you'll have to move home.. Well spotted though.
The decision is to drive some 30-40 km away from the city and observe in a rural area under better skies. But if I'd want to see really dark skies (black and grey areas in LP map) I will need to move for at least 700km away (there are still some unpolluted areas in S Ukraine e.g. Kerch peninsula). So the situation is bad indeed, it goes a bit better only when the sky is clear with no clouds/haze and the air is dry.
Below are the shots which I captured today at 6AM (only some best of them)
I saw a first extremely bright light pillar through the window, and when I went outside with a camera 2-3 minutes later, it had already disappeared. But the amount of freezing fog increased and very soon the light pillars started to form above the every street light in the neighbourhood. It was so exciting!
I tried to capture two gentle green and very long light pillars (they looked similar to the first shot) but they disappeared while I set the 12sec timer.
The situation changed so rapidly that during the 15sec exposure they could appear and disappear 2 or even 3 times in different directions.
The most exciting pillars reached 30
o altitude and were very bright.
