"The war broke out. No one imagined what it was"

In 2014, the war broke out. No one imagined what it was like, because they had never encountered a war.

We live closer to the center, because the shelling hardly ever reached us. However, we hid in the corridors, as sometimes they managed to get nearby.

For example, once a shell fell quite close to our building. All our neighbours had to clean the broken glass. Thankfully, the situation has stabilized more or less.    Therefore, residents feel relieved and live ordinary lives.
