The war for Iryna and her family began with loud explosions and shelling in March 2022. They could not believe that peaceful life had suddenly turned into a real nightmare of war. She stayed in Bakhmut until April 2022 when the situation became unbearable. Then Iryna decided to go to her daughter in Nikopol. However, heavy shelling began there as well, so she moved to Morshyn, where she lived for two years. She returned to Bakhmut for 10 days, but after a direct hit between two houses, where windows and radiators were completely destroyed, she realized that she would not return. Iryna believes that Ukraine will definitely win.
