Olena is a doctor from the village of Ivankovychi in the Kyiv region. After the start of the full-scale invasion, she and her family decided to stay in their home. During the shelling, she hid in the cellar with her children. She joined the local self-defence unit because doctors and the military should work on the same front. Together with other doctors, they set up a hospital in a local outpatient clinic, where they treated both military and civilians. People helped in any way they could: they brought medicines, warm blankets, and hot food. Olena wants the war to end as soon as possible and considers our people an absolute miracle.
