Anastasiia is from Cherkasy region. And while the war did not feel so close at home, when she was at her sister’s house in Kyiv, she felt what fear is.

During a night attack on April 24, 2025, Anastasiia learned for the first time what it feels like to have a missile hit right above you. And how scary it is when it lands near your home.

The girl is studying to be a journalist and hopes that her work will also help the country to resist and flourish again.
