"We have nowhere to go back to"

As soon as I start talking about the house, I immediately start to cry.

I have a son. We are waiting for a daughter to be born in July. We have already picked the name – Varvara. The only problem is we have nowhere to go back to.

Our house in Donetsk was 300 meters from the take-off runway. Now the entire village is destroyed, let alone my house.
