Nataliya Dvorichanska from Izyum
On February 24, we woke up at 5 a.m. to explosions. On March 3, the Russians entered our village and we found ourselves under occupation.
During the occupation, we had nothing in the shops, bread was brought to us sometimes, but we could not buy it all the time because it was brought in very small quantities.
We left only after 3 months and ended up in the city of Kharkiv.
The most terrible moment was when the Russians came to our street, took our neighbor away, they interrogated people and searched our homes. It was also scary when my husband and I were almost taken away because they didn’t like that we had different surnames and didn’t like that he had an ID. They proved that it was a car license. They almost took us away, but we asked them to let us go. They said they would take us until the circumstances were resolved… And there was no commandant at that time, so we could have stayed in prison for a month or two.
The future of Ukraine is free! We want to be free and demined so that we can return home. Everything there is mined and it is dangerous to go there with children.
The world needs to hear that Ukraine is free! It wants to be free! To those guys who are dying, thank you for my peaceful days and nights!
