My mother-in-law was born in Odesa, lived in Kharkiv for a long time. On Rymarska Street. And her grandmother is nearby, in Sumy ... Mother-in-law has not been with us for two years. How would she listen to today's information reports about the death of soldiers, about explosions, that civilians in Kyiv and Kharkiv spend the night in the subway, again fleeing the war ... I'm sure that if my mother-in-law lived to this day, and she would be very old, she would have found the strength to say: "This war must be stopped! No to war!"
