“All the smoke started coming down into the basement. Someone knocks on the door and says in russian: “Whose apartment is on fire?”

The house of Liudmyla, a teacher from Bucha, was one of the first to come under fire. At the time, 70 residents were hiding in the basement of the apartment block! One of the shells hit the second floor, a neighbour’s apartment. A fire broke out, and smoke quickly filled the shelter! And strangers appeared in the yard.
