Hanna's husband died in Mariupol during a mine attack. He came out of the shelter to help put out a fire in the house, but did not manage to walk a few metres. They had to bury him in the courtyard of a multi-storey building. Hanna and her children tried to leave through the green corridor, but Russian troops opened fire on the convoy of civilians. Together with her neighbours and friends, Anna walked to the Russian filtration point. They stood there for 5 hours, waiting to be checked. One woman died in the queue from a heart attack.
