Valeria’s husband was killed, and she is raising two daughters on her own. The family lived in Mykolaiv. The windows of their apartment looked out onto the airport. That district was among the first in the city to come under heavy shelling. One day, a missile exploded near their building. The younger daughter, Milana, was wounded. The child lost a lot of blood. Right after surgery, Valeria took her daughters to Poland. She even changed Milana’s bandages on the way. The woman told her story of the war during her daughter’s rehabilitation in Zakarpattia, provided by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.
