In the summer of 2022, Antonina and her husband evacuated from the occupied city of Berdyansk, but a Russian missile caught up with them in Kyiv. On the night of April 24, 2025, a missile fragment that hit a neighboring building destroyed the family’s new home. Having climbed out from under the rubble and still not fully realizing what had happened, Antonina is grateful for only one thing — thank God she’s alive.
