Yeva said that her family was able to leave occupied Kherson on April 18, 2022. On the 19th, this opportunity was closed. It was really scary in Kherson. At the age of eight, Yeva saw civilians killed with her own eyes when she went to the market with her father.

The family moved to Lviv, then ended up in Zaporizhzhia, and now they live in Odesa. The girl has made new friends, but she misses her hometown very much. Although she has nowhere to go back to - a shell hit her flat.
