Tetiana Andriivna's daughter was in the Saltivka residential area in Kharkiv at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. This district was one of the first to be hit by russians. The girl told her parents about the outbreak of war. At first, Tetiana still tried to go to work at the village council. But the occupation began.
Russians were driving around the village with weapons, robbing and terrorizing the locals. Tetiana Andriivna recalls that at that time Ukrainian farmers were giving out foodstuffs to their fellow villagers for free. So the woman lived for half a year, but later, when the occupying authorities put her on the arrest list, she was forced to flee her home village.
