The worst thing for Maria from Kramatorsk was the nights. Shooting was more frequent during this time of day, and the flashes of missiles and the glow of fires in the sky were the most frightening. Girl's home is opposite the school. Russian artillery shelled it all the time.

Mariia's family left the city in April 2022. Her grandparents still remain in Kramatorsk. As does the old blind dog. Masha really wants to simply hug her relatives and pet the dog. And to spend at least an hour of her life in her home town.
