"We were cut. I didn't know we had so much blood"

views: 92

Asia lived with her husband in the village of Myrnyi, Kalmius district. Her husband worked as a principal at school #30. She was the deputy director of school #45.

"We went to work at 7. We were assigned duties. On February 25, there was no more light. They took our work books. On Sunday, I was on duty at school. My husband spent the night at his school #30. It is closer to the outskirts of the city. It was already noisy there. On March 1, we moved to my mother's place. We moved to Karpinskoho Street. Yuvileynyi cinema.

On March 2, I tried to go to school. But there was a broken tram, and there were arrivals. On the edge of the sports ground, there was a Grad attack. There were two children in the bomb shelter. We took them to their parents. It was dangerous there. We walked back to my mother.

On March 6 , the gas was cut off. We had to go back to Myrnyi. On March 8, we returned to our house. On March 18, two bombs fell between the houses of my mother and son. It was good that no one was there.

The last time I heard from my son was on March 2. Then on May 20. We did not know if they were alive.

On March 28, it flew under our house. We were cut up. I did not know that we had so much blood. There are stains on the floor. The neighbouring house was completely destroyed. In total, 10 houses were damaged.

In Myrne, the water supply has not worked since March 7. We made a reserve of 200 litres. We tried to take water from 2 fire tanks.

On April 14, the village was occupied. The men were taken for filtration. The children survived. My niece's husband died.

On May 23, we left. The student's father took us out", -  said Asia, a resident of Mariupol.
