“I saw a plane dropping a bomb on another plane”

I was born in Donetsk and lived there most of my life. When the war started, I was still in school, in Grade 2.

One day, walking home from school, I saw a plane dropping a bomb on another plane. After that, my family left Donetsk.

We moved from one place to another in Donetsk Oblast for quite some time. Then I moved to Kyiv, and now I live there.
