Fifteen-year-old Olesia, one of Kravchenko's daughters, recalled the early days of the war, saying: "We had moments of fear. At that time, our brother was studying in Kharkiv, and we were very worried about him as the city was being bombed."
Olesia's older sister Miroslava said they were at home when the Russia-Ukraine war started and that they took shelter at a warehouse.
Natalya Kucherenko, 40, who was evacuated from the village of Vilshana with her family, said they could not return home for months.
Kucherenko further revealed that she lost her eldest son, 18 years old, during an attack, while her middle son was wounded in the shoulder and lung.
