I lived with my family in the village of Ruska Lozova, Kharkiv region. It is outside Kharkiv, near the highway to Bilhorod, not far from the border with Russia. On the first day of the war, I realized that I had to leave home. I took two minor children - these are my younger sister's children - and a small grandson and fled to another part of the Kharkiv region. We stopped in a village on the border with the Poltava region. We rent a small house. My sisters children are 8 and 16 years old, and my grandson is 7. My grandson has been living with me for a long time.

My husband, old mother and my younger sister remained at home. We had a nice big house, with a garage and our car nearby. Very soon, somewhere in the middle of March, our village was occupied. On March 28, 2022, Russian soldiers came to our yard.They killed my husband, my mother and my sister. And our house was burned down.

A local doctor and two local deputies came to the ashes. They found the burnt bodies of my relatives. The doctor established the fact of death, the neighbors identified the bodies. The neighbors buried it. I was not at home when the war started. The village was liberated, but there was heavy shelling. I have nothing left.
