I witnessed the full-scale invasion in the village of Korotych in Kharkiv region. Our village was under constant threat because there was an airfield nearby. We often had to stay in the basement, although we did not always manage to hide before a rocket arrived. Our neighbour was killed right in his yard.

I have two children - a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. For some time I moved with them to another region of the country because my daughter is ill and needs proper treatment. She has stage 3 oncology. She has abrain tumour. She has almost lost her vision, it is not corrected by glasses, asthere is already atrophy of the optic nerves. Earlier, the tumour was partially removed, but then my daughter is inoperable, because there is a risk of losing her eyesight completely. She has already undergone 14 blocks of chemotherapy and 27 radiations.

Now we are back home, and fortunately, our house has survived. Because of the war, we gota lot of pets - 5 dogs and 3 cats. I don't work, because my daughter needs care, constant attention and frequent tests. All this requires money, and we liveonly on her pension. The children's father does not help us.
