Vira from Markhalivka survived a missile attack on May 25, 2025. Early in the morning, the village in the Kyiv region came under another massive russian attack – missiles and drones were flying towards Kyiv, and one of the fragments fell near Vira’s house. A powerful blast wave smashed out the windows and damaged the façade. Vira was at home with her children. Her husband managed to react – he actually covered them with himself, literally shielding them from the glass flying out of the windows. He was injured: glass fragments hit him in the back. The children were in terrible shock – they were crying, screaming, unable to calm down.
