Nataliia Kozub, who was displaced three times, experienced the worst in Mariupol. Her only son, Oleksii Kozub, was killed in Azovstal. He was 26 years old.
“The war began for us in 2014. In the town of Snizhne. We saw all the horrors there. And then, in November 2014, we left our hometown for Ivano-Frankivsk. My son turned 19 there. And he went to war. My husband and I came back to Mariupol. We rented an apartment. We wanted to grow old in the city by the sea and see our grandchildren. “Mum, there will be a massacre,” my son said on the eve of the full-scale invasion,” Nataliia, a resident of Mariupol, told the Museum.
