00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.840
We used to live well, very well.

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:14.320
We were all friendly, friendly,

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.400
no one quarreled with anyone at all. Well, we lived normal lives.

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:23.840
Now it is very difficult for us due to this situation.

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:27.520
The environment here is very depressing.

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:33.520
There were attacks here. We have no bomb shelters here.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.400
So we have practically nowhere to hide. Some people have basements …

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:40.440
We have a neighbor who only has a deep basement.

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:43.160
The neighbors also do not have anyone.

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:48.960
Well, in short, and the shells were flying over our heads everywhere.

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.600
Practically everywhere.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.200
Without doubt, it was terrifying. You lie down and don't know what to think.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.360
You know, when you go to bed earlier, you squeeze into this corner

00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:03.520
and listen to the sounds where it's going to fall.

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.200
And pray to God that it would not fall here.

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.120
The worst moment was in 2014,

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:17.000
well, the beginning of 2015, because there was a lot

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.280
of shooting attacks from all sides

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.920
We had shells falling nearby. Here in the yard

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.400
and on the road. Thank God that the house hasn't been destroyed.

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.240
Others have ruins instead of homes.

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.840
So it is very difficult and dangerous. You know what I mean?

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.040
You don't know what will happen next.

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.960
Sometimes I cried. I used to squeeze

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:46.080
my fists so as not to cry.  My husband can't walk.

00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:50.760
So I have to check if everything all right myself.

00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:56.160
See if nothing was destroyed.

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.200
His name is Oleksandr Sharapov.

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.480
Well, he's 73 years old.

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.080
He is paralysed.

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:09.560
A stroke and heart attacks were the reason. His left leg has been amputated.

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.760
Well, he had gangrene due to blockages of blood vessels he had.

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:19.120
At first, he could move a bit after the first stroke.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.360
After the second stroke,

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.440
he has become completely motionless

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:27.680
and can't even eat himself.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.320
Naturally, no one cares for us.

00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:35.560
We have been deserted. You know how?

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.640
We have no one to go and complain to.

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:40.800
I don't go anywhere, and

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.920
I don't complain. We have what we have.

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:48.600
I receive a pension of 1300 UAH, and my husband gets 1300 UAH.

00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:50.120
So, we have the total of 2600 UAH.

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:54.160
Gas is very expensive, very expensive. I don't even know

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:58.440
what I'm going to do here, if this is the situation for the fall,

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:00.480
I don't know how we will live.

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:02.280
First of all, gas is very expensive.

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.200
We won't be able to heat it and pay for it.

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.880
I don't even have enough money to pay for gas,

00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:12.720
and you don't have to ask for food.

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:15.960
And medicines are very expensive, too.

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.680
Well, I spend around 1000 UAH on medication.

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:26.480
I have somewhere 300-400 UAH for food.

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:29.360
If it weren't for the humanitarian aid, I wouldn't even know

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.520
what we would do. You know what I mean?

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.680
You can't survive on that money,

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.520
considering the prices these days. This is unthinkable.

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.840
Now, in April, I cut off the heating.

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.640
It is more or less war,. Plus,

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:54.920
I still need to pay for other months.

00:03:54.920 --> 00:03:58.520
I'm going to pay for gas for another four months,

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.080
because I used to heat in the winter.

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.080
There are people who are so old and elderly. They are immobile,

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.600
they can't work for themselves, and they can't do this for themselves.

00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:12.520
Luckily, we receive this humanitarian aid

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.920
which helps us a bit.

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.320
No one wants this war. It is unnecessary.

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:24.800
We lived peacefully. No one wants this war.

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.040
What good did it do? Just ruin and death, that's all.
