We haven't heard gunshots for six months, but the devastation around us doesn't let us forget what we've been through. The ghost town comes to life very slowly.
My nine-year-old daughter Marharyta and I had nowhere to run during the shelling, only to the basement. We remember well how we tried to hide.
It was difficult to survive the war without medication. My daughter has epilepsy. The disease was diagnosed this year. She's got cramps. She became very agitated. She's afraid of everything. She wants to sleep only next to me.
To ease the seizures, Daughter needs to takeanti-seizure medications. It is almost impossible to buy them here, because most pharmacies in Debaltseve are closed. You need a doctor's prescription to go to the controlled territories.
