We stayed at home. Our child didn’t go to school. At about 4 a.m. it started. Tanks were firing, a plane was flying over, hitting tanks. 

00:21.331 --> 00:29.117 position:50% align:middle
And there was a hit right in the roof of our house. We were in the basement. It’s on the street, no doors. There was snow. 

00:29.117 --> 00:38.922 position:50% align:middle
My children and us were on the cardboard in the basement, and there was water there. We slept on the water. Our child sits in the basement and says: “Mum, are we going to die?” 

00:38.922 --> 00:50.419 position:50% align:middle
– and that’s it, I’m apathetic. And my husband says: “That’s it, I can’t take it anymore. We have to think of something.” So we drove under the shelling. My husband had no petrol, 

00:50.419 --> 01:01.347 position:50% align:middle
the car was parked. But the neighbours had petrol. We were sitting there, and the neighbours said: “Let us give you petrol and let’s go already.” We got into the car, started driving, 

01:01.347 --> 01:13.786 position:50% align:middle
and they were shooting at us from automatic rifles. The windshield was blown out by a sound wave. They were shooting from tanks, and it was blown out by the sound wave. 

01:13.786 --> 01:25.535 position:50% align:middle
We were without one window. Our child was crying, they were shooting from behind, our car was shaking. We even hung up a white cloth. We barely got away. 

01:25.535 --> 01:40.801 position:50% align:middle
The car was covered in soil, shrapnel flying around. It’s scary. We barely got out. From there we went to Vuhledar to our acquaintances and stayed there. 

01:40.801 --> 01:52.520 position:50% align:middle
Then we were staying in Vuhledar and saw a lot of military vehicles. The hits started there, and we left from there too. I think to Vasylkivka, I don’t remember the name exactly. 

01:52.520 --> 02:05.401 position:50% align:middle
I think it was Vasylkivka. We were sheltered there, we stayed there. We saw a lot of planes flying. From there we went to Pidhorodne and lived there. 

02:05.401 --> 02:20.174 position:50% align:middle
And from Pidhorodne we went to Dnipro. In general, we travelled all over. We travelled everywhere for a month or a month and a half. And then we came to Dnipro, 

02:20.174 --> 02:30.726 position:50% align:middle
and after about 3 weeks I found a job, got my children into school, and everything started to get better. But even here, in Dnipro, where we live... 

02:30.726 --> 02:44.388 position:50% align:middle
When a missile flew to the railway station, our entrance was covered with glass, the door opened wide into the flat. We were sitting in the corridor. Black smoke came into the flat. 

02:44.388 --> 02:54.730 position:50% align:middle
Our child was scared again. I thought the same thing would happen as in Volnovakha – tears, screams. It turns out that we came here from there, and it’s scary here too.

02:54.730 --> 02:59.907 position:50% align:middle
And every time we are in this fear. At night and during the day there are missiles. 

02:59.907 --> 03:08.920 position:50% align:middle
And I can’t be with my child because I have to go to work. In general, we still live in fear. And we don’t know what will happen next.
