Tetiana met a column of Russian tanks in a pasture. At first she didn't understand whose vehicles they were. Until she and her neighbours saw a painted letter ‘Z.’ Russians were breaking into houses and interrogating people. And then there was trouble. They stole the equipment that pumped water for the villagers. One day, Tetiana was scared by a drunk occupier: he lost his documents and threatened to shoot the whole village.

One day, tanks of Aidar Ukrainian assault battalion managed to break into Malynivka. A woman met them on the edge of the village where her house is located. Ukrainian troops liberated Malynivka in a day and a half. While the battle was going on, one of Tetiana's cows calved. The woman bravely managed to take delivery under fire and named the calf Aidarchyk.

But a few weeks after the liberation, an urgent evacuation was announced in the village. The Russians began shelling Malynivka heavily. Tetiana's neighbour was killed and the deceased's husband was wounded.
