00:00Since the war started, our village has been shelled by rockets and cluster bombs.
00:07The village was burning.
00:09We left because of the destruction.
00:11There was never destruction like this before.
00:15We used to leave home, before.
00:17This is the third time we've evacuated, and this time it's for good.
00:22It's the final time we're leaving because there's simply nowhere to return to.
00:26I think the last time they shelled the village so badly, it's practically gone.
00:30Well, if there are more strikes.
00:33I know yesterday they dropped rockets and guided bombs there.
00:37The village was burning again.
00:40I think there's just nowhere left to go back to.
00:43We don't know what tomorrow will bring.
00:45We left for the city of Sumy.
00:47We hoped it would be safer here.
00:49Well, now it seems like nowhere is safe.
00:51I'm here with two children, and I really don't know anymore.
00:54How do we live?
