Valeriya | Druzhkivka

“I do not want innocent people keep on dying!”

I live in the town of Druzhkivka. When the war started, I was about eight years old, so I had no idea what was really going on. Although it is the closest town to Donetsk, shots were hardly heard there.

And although I did not become a victim of the war, I sincerely want the hostilities to stop.

My relatives live in Makiivka so I have not been able to see them for a long time. I do not want innocent people keep on dying!
