My youngest daughter, Rita, is four months old and growing up under fire. I am a mother of seven children; I hope that the shelling will stop soon and the children will be able to live in peace. Older children have a particularly hard time.

Older children have a particularly hard time

For example, Artem was constantly in hysterics: "Mom, now the tanks will come and roll us out!»

It will be difficult to recover from this. The image of several months of complete isolation is constantly before my eyes. At that time, all of us, residents of Stanytsia Luhanska and Valuisk, did not have access to food and medicine.

I remember one lonely old lady traveling more than 20 kilometers in search of food and help. But she didn't get anything. The elderly were very badly injured, and many elderly people  simply could not stand it!
