February 24 divided Tetiana’s life into “before” and “after.” Woken by explosions, she went to her relatives — to stay together during the hardest days. When fear and uncertainty became unbearable, Tetiana left for France. Paris, work, safety — it would seem she had everything needed for a calm life. But her heart ached with every piece of news from home. Three years later, she returned — to be near her country. She now lives in Vyshhorod, where nights are filled with alerts, but her faith supports her: a sincere prayer, kindness, and the strength of life will surely lead Ukraine to victory.
