Before the war, Nataliia was involved in developing eco-friendly settlements – communities of like-minded people who respect both their land and their relationships within society. The village of Yastrubna in the Zhytomyr region was chosen as the site for the settlement “Kazkove”, as its residents lovingly named it. But the war ruined all their plans. What was supposed to be a fairytale became a place of danger. Nataliia, her daughter and grandchildren left for Zhytomyr. The woman is firmly convinced that peace and victory cannot be achieved with peace in one’s heart alone; decisive action is needed. That is why she is actively involved in volunteer work, cooperating with all volunteer organisations in Zhytomyr.
