Rena had to flee war twice in her life. The first time was during the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, when she left her native Azerbaijan. For more than 35 years Rena has lived in Ukraine, which she considers her home. But in 2022 war again forced her to hide, to flee, and to endure terrible trials. On March 5 her village found itself under occupation. Rena recalls that most of the time they had to spend in the cellar, because russian equipment was standing on their street. Two shells exploded right near the house.
