Peace is when everyone is friends with each other, when there are no shooting, conflicts and misunderstanding, as compared to the war. Peace is when everything is in a friendly way.
Konstantinovka is not very big. There are some sports circles, sports groups. It is interesting there, in the town. Before the war, we were not afraid of anything. There were always smiles on our faces and we used to go to bed feeling safe and calm. We were not afraid of anything.
But when the hostilities began – yes, it changed. It was scary to go to bed at night and hear the shooting during the day. When explosions started, my mother said that at first, she did not understand what it was either. Then an alarm system siren sounded and we were told that fighting was starting.
I don’t remember much as it was a long time ago. Seven years have passed since then. We were in the living room, as far as I remember. We were watching TV. And we heard the sounds of shooting. I was scared. I asked my mother. When we heard the alarm siren, my mother said that this was the beginning of hostilities. Everyone was scared at once.
This is fear, death, the departure of a person from life. This is a difficult psychological condition. I want to see a peaceful sky. I don’t want to hear shooting at night, and I just want the word “war" disappear, so that everything would be peaceful around us.
