10:27 am: “I was worried about everyone”, says Alina, 9 years old
“On the 24th (February), I was very scared, I was shaking. The first night we slept on chairs, later our parents brought beds for the children, so the children slept on beds and our parents slept on chairs. The first day here, there were only two benches. Then we brought everything: blankets, pillows, dishes.
I started to cry a lot: I worried about everyone, when there were bombings or sirens. I am especially worried about my family and my friends, who have left (from Kharkiv), for my grandmother who recently left for her village located 15 km from Russia. I don’t want to leave, because there is my family, my city. I was born here. In the morning we have online lessons, in the afternoon I do my homework and for the night we come here.
Victory for me would be when I am very happy. The war won’t end right away, but in a few weeks it will end, I made a wish. »
