Hanna Kisilishyna lived in Mariupol with her son Oleksii. On the morning of February 24, the boy went to defend Ukraine as part of "Azov."
"All of Mariupol thought it was for a few days. For some reason, we believed that our mother's house would protect us. We were surviving in the basement. We were waiting for a "green corridor."
When we were leaving, we had 15 minutes to gather our things. We left with what we had on us. The city was burning. People were dead, paralyzed. Mines exploded under the wheels.
When we got to the exit, it was March 20. russian monsters threw apples and “Mivina” into the car: "Now you will be fine." I became hysterical. I betrayed my son. He stayed in Mariupol.
My son sent messages from "Azovstal," called several times, said that he would not surrender. I said: "You must do everything to save your life." He smiled: "No, captivity is not for me, I will not go there." But he followed an order, was captured and died in Olenivka," said Olena Kisilishina, a resident of Mariupol.
