According to her, one of the boys spent three years under occupation with his mother.
He refused to attend school, where teaching was permeated with Russian propaganda. They waited for liberation, but with each passing month, the situation became more dangerous - people disappeared after searches, and speaking Ukrainian was risky even at home.
