When her daughter and son-in-law left the village on February 25, Iryna stayed to take care of her family home. And almost immediately she got to know the occupiers closely. They decided that the elderly woman and her husband had done something to the tank that had broken down right in front of the house. And they staged a real interrogation, threatening with weapons. The husband was laid on the asphalt, and a machine gun was placed against Iryna’s head. However, later the occupiers left the couple alone. Iryna still remembers that episode as the most terrifying during the occupation in February-March 2022.
