“On 24 February, we came to work as usual at 4 a.m. I worked in the school canteen. We prepared breakfast for the children and found out that the war had started. It was a horror that was impossible to believe. Very few children came to school that day, and the next day, distance learning began,” recalls Tetiana Filatova. Later, she worked in a cafe where she cooked for the military. But the cafe was closed when the front line began to move closer. The woman was forced to leave by her children because it was deadly dangerous to stay in Bakhmut.
