"You live at home, but you are not at home. Once the whole world was taken away from you", – Yevhen says. "We dream about Mariupol. We try to forget, but it will never be forgotten. Sometimes you wake up at night. It's completely dark, and you think you're still in that basement where you can't see anything. We will never forget this.

The worst night was the night before we left. We did not know whether we would get there alive or not, whether we would have the courage to leave. If we stayed, then what? The circle is getting smaller and smaller. The neighboring quarters are already destroyed".
