«My whole family still remembers the day on July 24, 2014, when we left Horlivka. The day before, the separatists staged a mortar shelling. Lights were turned off everywhere in the city. Then a lot of people left by train. The last train from Luhansk was leaving, and my family and I had time to leave,» Iryna Zinich recalls the events of 10 years ago.

Currently, the woman lives and works in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. With the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the situation here is also tense. Iryna worries that she will have to run away a second time and start her life from scratch. However, she is ready for any scenario.
