Huliaipole is a town in Zaporizhzhia region. Hryhorii and his wife stayed there until October 22. The shelling was so intense that a dog on the surface died of a heart rupture from the horrific sounds. Hryhorii tells about this when he recalls long sleepless nights in the cellar.

The family moved to Zaporizhzhia, first lived in a house, then moved to a dormitory. Russian attacks are also felt there, but not as often and loudly.
