The war took away everything her hardworking family had. During the hostilities, the resident of Novodonetske village tried to save her large household. But in vain! Her native village became a battlefield. Nina recalls 27 hectares of land that remained under occupation. She knows that these territories are currently mined, and her home street has been almost destroyed by shelling.

In 2014, Nina’s children left Donetsk because of the war, and in 2022, they left Novodonetske village. In ten years, the war has taken away both homes and the beloved farming business to which the family of farmers devoted most of their lives.  Despite all the hardships, Nina is hopeful. She hopes that someday she will be able to return to her village, to her home, which remains in her memory.
