Liudmyla remembers well the day the war first knocked on her door – in 2015, after the shelling of the Skhidnyi microdistrict in Mariupol. At the time, it seemed that things couldn’t get any worse. But the real horror came in 2022. Her sons persuaded her to leave the city on the first day of the great war – and it is to them that she owes her life. None of the family’s four apartments survived. Today, Liudmyla lives in the dormitory of the YaMariupol Centre in Dnipro and feels the taste of life again – despite the pain, loss and war, she wants to live like never before. And she wants to believe in a peaceful sky for the whole country.
