On 2 January, a Russian missile exploded in a residential neighborhood in the Solomianskyi district of Kyiv. The worst damage was done to house 7 on Mokra Street.

Nataliia learned about it from a phone call from her son. He survived because he had left the room where the blast wave hit. Despite the damage to his legs, he got out on his own and took his pet parrot out of the apartment. The woman is very grateful to all the people who responded and offered help. “You realize that you are not alone in this world. It's very nice".
