None of us imagined that Vladimir Putin would start a war. This was unthinkable even after he took Crimea and the two Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. The worst we assumed was that he would again arrange a provocation at the border. But he suddenly began to bomb the center of Europe with planes.
On the night of February 24, when everything started, I slept in my apartment with my one-year-old child and my husband. I usually plug my ears at night, so I slept through the first two hours of the bombardment. I woke up at 6 am from a call from a relative.
