Nadiya Osipova from Odesa
At the beginning of the war, the first thing I heard was explosions. Then my mother called and said that the war had started. After February 24, life changed, constant sirens and explosions began. I lost my job. The scariest moment since the beginning of the war was when a rocket flew nearby. I have never heard such a terrible sound. I hugged the children and thought that this was the end. Before the war, I worked as a market seller, but I lost my job when the war started. Children are frightened by explosions and the sounds of rockets. I have 2 children: Tymur is 7 years old, and Alisa is 2 years old. I did not receive benefits from the state. I live in the city of Odesa, I have to pay for the rent, I don’t have enough money. I believe in a bright future for Ukraine and I believe that the war will end as soon as possible. I want peace to reign and for our children to hear no more sounds of explosions and sirens. More than anything in the world, I fear for the life and health of my children.
