00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:10.280
You see, there are no windows.

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:17.800
We have them covered. My husband has made one window today.

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.640
Here there is no glass at all; it has been broken.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.200
Over there, there is no foundation. On that side, the foundation has been destroyed.

00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:31.760
A shell exploded at our neighbour’s place, and our windows were blown out.

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.680
In our house, in that one and in those people’s house. It has been five years

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:41.440
already since it has affected me, and my husband too.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.800
I can hardly walk. I cannot get out or walk somewhere.

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:51.720
My legs are not stable. Twice I fell: I broke my arm, and my leg.

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.080
I cannot travel or go to our son.

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.040
This is like a reservation area.

00:00:56.040 --> 00:01:01.360
We are sealed off: we cannot go either here or there.

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:04.600
To Artemivsk [Bakhmut after renaming] or Dzerzhynsk [Toretsk after renaming]

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:06.440
maybe, but it is far from us.

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.800
We used to have a good life. A very good, peaceful life.

00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:14.680
We used to have holidays, celebrations; it was fun.

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.120
People used to go out, gather in the square; there was music playing.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.960
Now, at 7 p.m. there is no one in the street.

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.600
Earlier, we took cover in basements and cellars, now we run to an apartment or house.

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:33.040
We have got used to it, you see. It is a very bad habit,

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.920
a very bad one that we have got used to shelling.

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.880
We have got used to... As it could be such shelling that

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:45.240
you would not have time to run away. You understand?

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:48.640
Why do we need peace? As we want to live peacefully.

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.480
I have never thought that I would live through two wars.
