My family livedin the town Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhia region. My husband, 29 years old, worked on afarm and in construction. We have two children: a 7-year-old girl and a2.5-year-old boy. I worked in the market. I have been raising my youngest sonfor the past few years.

When the warstarted, мy husband went into territorial defense. Very quickly he was sent tothe front. He was not a professional soldier. Butthere was no time to study - the war was already near. He was sent to Mariupol.He has been considered missing since March. No compensation was paid to us.There is no body, so there is nothing. He is also not in the lists ofprisoners.

At the end ofMarch, I left my hometown with my children and my husband's mother. Now we livewith relatives in Zaporizhzhia. I prepare food, preserve food for the winter.Kindergartens are closed. That's why I can't go to work.

Our city ofOrihiv is completely destroyed. The front line passes through my town. Theterritory behind it is already occupied. It is impossible to live there.
