At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Tetiana was called to the military hospital in Mariupol where she worked. There were many wounded, both military and civilians. Very soon she lost contact with her family. She saw her son only twice, when he came to the hospital. Tetiana did not know the fate of her family. Only later did she meet her husband in Dnipro and learn that her daughter was abroad and her son was in captivity. Now the couple have been given accommodation in the YaMariupol hostel in Dnipro.
