Lada Bondarenko recalls in detail Kyiv in semi-siege. 8 elderly people left in the entire apartment block. The list of missing medicines on the doors of pharmacies, the shortage of food. And the animals she agreed to look after when their owners left the city. The search for food was compounded by the search for animal feed. So Lada became an assistant in a pet shop, as there was a shortage of workers. She was rewarded with food. The woman has a sober view of the situation, knows how to provide first aid, carries a turnstile and has a very large score to settle with the enemy.
