Olena did not believe in the possibility of an invasion and did not prepare in any way. After the beginning of the great war, she hid in the parking lot and followed the development of events. The trigger that influenced the decision to leave the city was the arrival of parents of neighbours from Irpin, who said that they would never want their grandchildren to see what they saw. Until the end of May, Olena with her family and friends were in the Ternopil region. The attitude of russian friends and relatives was a real blow in the back. She dreams of peace and a comfortable and good life in her native Ukraine.
