I live in Druzhkivka, Donetsk region. This is the first front line. We have constant sirens. Frequent shelling, explosions. I live with two old women: my mother is 78 years old and my aunt is 83 years old. They are both sick and do not want to leave anywhere. Children in the occupied territory. There is no connection with them.

Before thewar, I worked at a machine-building plant. I was a boiler room operator. The production of parts depended on our boiler house. We heated baths with acids,in these acids craftsmen worked on parts. With the beginning of the war, the factory was closed.

A few shop sand pharmacies are open. Prices are very high. Not everyone wants to work underfire. We live in great trouble. But we stay here because this is our home.
