The Nesterenko family hit a tripwire at night when they were fleeing a Russian-occupied village. The couple was wounded, but their four-year-old child miraculously survived. Her husband’s, Maksym’s, knees and back were hit by shrapnel. Marharyta was able to move. She ran for help. In the morning, her beloved was found shot in the head! It happened on Independence Day. On the day of Maksym’s death, Marharyta did not know that she was pregnant with their son.
