Two days before the war broke out, Vitaliy returned from Mexico to Bucha and found himself in a real hell. He and his neighbors spent 16 days in the basement without water, electricity, heating, gas, or communication. There were only four hours of silence a day. Street battles were going on around them, and then the occupation. There were two murders in their yard. Houses were being shot at, apartments were burning. We managed to leave this hell on March 11. We left Bucha on foot. We saw corpses and destroyed houses all around.
