My family and I lived in the Sumy region, near the border with Russia. In March of last year, we moved to the Ternopil region, to a village. We had crazy shelling at home. In the summer, a summons came to one of my eldest sons. He went to war. He was 22 years old. He died on October 30, 2022, in the Donetsk region.

The day before, his older 24-year-old brother joined the army voluntarily. He was released for his brother's funeral. He received the right not to fight - according to Ukrainian legislation, if there is one person killed in the war in the family, no one else is obliged to fight. The son said he had to do it. Hewent missing in February. He performed tasks in the occupied territory of the Donetsk region and did not return.

I was left with two children, my daughter is 5 years old and my son is 3 years old. We rent a house in the village. Kindergartens are open and children have something to do. I am on the labor exchange, before the war I worked as a saleswoman. Ihave not yet received any financial compensation for my sons.
