On February 24, 2022, a new page in the history of Ukraine began, full of pain and loss. Russian occupiers, not shying away from any methods, attack peaceful cities and villages, turning them into ruins. Maternity hospitals, schools, residential areas – everything becomes a target for enemy missiles. Every day, Ukrainians are forced to hide in shelters, escaping from shelling.
