Andrii Skabiolkin is the director of school No. 30. He and his wife lived in Myrne village, Kalmius district. For 33 days, from April 14 to May 17, Andrii Mykolayovych was undergoing filtration.

“In April, russian soldiers started walking the streets. They offered to take our documents and identify us. That's how the filtration started.

It was the middle of April. The whole village of Myrne was taken away. I was in the gym. “Make yourself a bed and spend the night here.” They took our passports. A few days later, the filtration began. People were loaded onto a bus in batches. They took us to tents. Interrogations, photographs. They returned us. They took another batch.

There were no documents. Only papers about filtration. In May, my blood pressure rose. They took me to Novoazovsk. They gave me medicine. After 23:00 I reached Mariupol. 

 It took us 2 days to get ready to leave. I came to school. It was smashed to pieces. By air bombs. I looked at it. I met my colleagues who survived,” said Andrii Mykolaivoych.
