We have online lessons now, and almost every minute, every second, we hear explosions in the centre. We hear explosions, launches, hits. Shaheds are flying very often.

My name is Mykhailo Turkov, I’m 14, I’m from Sumy. I met the full-scale invasion at my grandmother’s house, I spent the night there.

Her employer said that tanks were coming. She worked outside the city, so she didn’t go to work. That’s how I found out that the war had started. 

00:53.062 --> 01:07.767 position:50% align:middle
I saw it, I even heard it, because there is a street where my dad lives, and 50-100 metres away, tanks were coming on the first or third day.

And I saw them, because on the first day, I was going to see him. I’m staying in Sumy now because my mother is a volunteer, she goes to hot spots.

For many people, the war began in 2022, but for me it started in 2014 because my grandfather was a missile launcher, a gunner, and he died in 2017 from an injury.

And during the full-scale invasion... I have an aunt and uncle who lived in Mariupol. My uncle served in the security of Azovstal. 

02:01.707 --> 02:19.799 position:50% align:middle
They were captured and my uncle was burned alive. My aunt was taken out of town and died six months later, although she is still considered missing.

I really want to help people like my mum, because it motivates me a lot. And I would like to have a profession related to IT and blogging.
