Survivor of the Irpin blockade reconstructs her harrowing escape and the haunting feeling of leaving part of herself behind.
On February 24th in the morning my boyfriend and I decided to go from Kyiv to Irpin to see his parents. It is hard for me to recall the chronology of those days, my mind blocks and minimizes all the memories, erases them, but the only thing I know for sure is that every day everything rapidly became worse.
