- It's horrible.
- It's horrors. ... Tanya, me, her husband, and my son, and husband...
- And more... [they] were running away with a young kid, 6 persons, wanted to drive straight, but got stuck in the field. They came to our place to get warm, and were going to stay overnight. It was still daytime, 1pm or noon, we hadn't had breakfast yet. We gave them breakfast, then we ate, and then we were sitting, a young kid, a toddler, 1 year and 9 months old, was hungry, we began boiling potatoes, because they ran to the field to pick up their bags, they said, the kid's porridge had gone bad, we said, lets boil potatoes. As soon as we started peeling potatoes, shooting began. We were hiding at Stepka's, and the guys in the stokehole. It was all [shooting] from that side, from the highway. It's good that we left Stepka's place. We went out, and something hit. We didn't understand, something flying, glass flying, and the house on fire! We are running, good it didn't hit again! we left our bags, all our things, left our cell phones, everything... we are running across the road, Mykola said, they left, stooped down, the roofing is flying, shells are flying over, and there's no house anymore! It was such a big house! We say, your house is so strong, we will sit in your house! Laid with brick... They [Russians] stood on the highway and were specifically hitting that house! It's flying, the roofing is flying, and that young kid... she was holding it, breastfeeding it... She lifted her clothes, her stomach was showing... She ran across the road, all her stomach had been cut across, bleeding all over, she was wounded, all along ploughed up, all her stomach, all bleeding. We ran, hid at that old woman's place, but in her place also everything was flying, the windows, all from across the road, all is flying, something hit the stove... Mykola says, let's run and hide behind that sty, and we are sitting there behind that rotten sty, we see, that house is set on fire, another house is burning... Bah! Bah! Such an unpleasant sound, iron, I closed my ears, I'm sitting and praying, I have my Gospel with me, the akathist prayer, the Mother of God is with me...
- Maybe you were praying, and we didn't get killed.
- I bandaged that [woman] Alyona, because the blood was running, he says, go bandage her up, she's all in blood, but the bowels didn't seem to show, I bandaged that Alyona. We're sitting with Mykola, we say, it's the 11th [of March], my godmother died on the 11th, and we ourselves will die...
