When I woke up on the morning of February 24, I couldn't believe it was all real. Then, for the first few days, I tried to leave Kyiv for the city of Korosten, where my family lives. I spent the days of the war with my grandmother and little sister, the first days were quiet but then there was an explosion near our house and we were forced to go to the village where it will be calmer. Then I had to leave them and go abroad, my heart breaks every time I think they are there. I hope the war will end as soon as possible, and I will be able to return to them and they will be fine.
