Nataliia and her daughter, under the sounds of the first explosions in Boryspil, fled to the Chernihiv region to their relatives. There they fell into occupation. At first, there was both light and heat in the village, but in a few days everything disappeared, and even the connection. In the first days of invasion, the russian military was gathering forces, artillery was fully deployed. The russians randomly shelled the city of Chernihiv and the region. Aircraft bombs, cluster munitions, mortars and drones were used. Nataliia said: the occupation troops shelled the village every day, indiscriminately killed locals and looted. Nevertheless, the woman managed to leave in March for the territory controlled by Ukraine.
