“People from the Drama Theater came to our bomb shelter. They were all covered in whitewash and had injuries”

A phosphorus bomb fell on Olha Romanenko’s house, burning two elderly people alive. Later, wounded and shell-shocked Mariupol residents from the destroyed Drama Theater joined them in the bomb shelter. Someone was even transported to the hospital. The war was everywhere, and the only thing that comforted everyone was the people around, who painted anti-war slogans with Ukrainian symbols on the basement walls.
