Iryna is the wife and mother of a military man. Therefore, on the first day of the war, she was left alone – the men went to defend the country. She united neighbours and set up a basement where they could hide. And she didn't want to leave the house until the last moment. But her husband was very insistent, so Iryna went first to the west of Ukraine, and then to Germany. There she was engaged in volunteer activities, made art classes to warm the hearts of refugees.
