Someone will return home, and someone will have to accept new places as their new home...

Before the full-scale war, Nadiya and her large family lived in the village of Mytrofanivka in the Kharkiv region. In addition to their own children, she and her husband also adopted three more kids. Immediately after February 24, their village of Mytrofanivka was occupied. The family was under tremendous pressure, because Nadiya worked as the village council. Nadia's husband could not escape, so they decided that they would all wait for the de-occupation together. Only when Ukrainian soldiers entered the village to the happy shouts of the locals did the family dare to move to the Zhytomyr region.

– A human-being can survive a lot, – says Mrs. Nadiya. – We don't even realize how much we can bear. I learned about it only during the last year. Although, it seems, I lived a huge part of my life before that.
