Tetiana remembers well her first meeting with Russian soldiers. The Russians captured the village and came to the street where she lived with searches. One of the occupants turned the muzzle of an assault rifle on Tetiana and interrogated her on the topic: "Who allowed Ukrainians to live so well?". Tetiana did not lose her temper: she bravely defended her truth. Moreover, she reprimanded and blamed the Russians for the attack on Ukraine. This made the invaders very angry.

Who knows how this dispute would have ended for her? Fortunately, the soldier was urgently called by radio. 

After the village was liberated, Tetiana joined a volunteer project to weave camouflage nets and kikimoras for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
