I lived with my family in Kherson. We had three children when the war started. Two daughters aged 11 and 10 and a son aged 4. We didn't plan for a fourth child, but I got pregnant. My husband said that we are definitely leaving the child. I gave birth to our daughter already in Kryvyi Rih, where my children and I barely escaped...

My husband is a member of the anti-terrorist operation, he spent four years in the ATO, suffered a severe concussion, and was disabled. When the great war came, our city was immediately occupied. The enemies had lists of our defenders. Occupants came to our home on June 30, 2022. They broke down the door and smashed everything in the apartment - all furniture, dishes, even children's toys. They took my husband with a bag on his head. They also took his brother, he was also a member of the ATO.

Neighbors told me all this - I was at my parents' country house at the time. The country house later burned down during shelling. I could not return home with the children, because everything in the apartment was destroyed. I found volunteers and we were taken to Kryvyi Rih in July 2022. Russian soldiers kept us at a check point near Vasylivka for three days, it was terribly hot, it seemed to me that mychildren and I would not survive. I was two months pregnant at the time.

For almost a year I did not know is my husband alive or not. On March 30, 2023, a video with my husband appeared on the network - he is in a colony in occupied Gorlovka, Donetsk region. I stay in Kryvyi Rih with my children, I have a baby in my arms for 4 months. The state does not pay the assistance of the families of prisoners. Yes, I know that we have thousands of captives. I will be grateful for the helpof good people.
