No big plans were built. Everything can be said calmly and balanced. Well, then the situation got better a little. There were all kinds of conversations, but no one believed it.

Many of our settlements go to work in Kyiv, in Brovary. Information came from there that equipment and self-propelled guns had gone through Slavutych to Kyiv, to Gostomel.

On February 24th [2022], I had an accumulation of information from all regions. It just didn't fit into my head what could happen. At first they thought that it would be as it would be: there they would hit military facilities, there they would hit military facilities, and there would be no civilian trolls. We do not have such strategic settlements to strike.

People rushed to the shops. There were those who ran to the local large grocery store, jumped in and shouted: "Give people everything as a gift, the war is going on, the Rashists are going on. So give away everything you can".

In Chernihiv, they were still reeling as much as they could to deliver food. My wife is baking bread, so we had no problems with that. They helped who was given lard, who was given food. There were no problems with food stocks. Well, so that some kind of baking, candy, we don't buy such a thing at all. I am a beekeeper, there were two or three cans of honey.

Consort regularly instills eye drops. They are not always and everywhere, and then it was difficult to get them at all. They brought from Kyiv.

We were, one might say, in such a circle. There is a house here, there were cattle, that's all. They were not going to leave like that. To be honest, there could be marauders.

So it was the month of March, I don't remember the exact date. They hit us, it was flying from the side of Krasny. Near the neighbor, a projectile flew into the cellar nearby. The tracking projectile flew 100 meters away, just behind the intersection, and entered the asphalt. And we were at home, hiding in the cellar.

As soon as something started, we immediately went down there. They sat for an hour or two, well, more or less calmly. A person cannot hide endlessly in a cellar, in these basements.

We had no problems, but the lights were turned off. I have two boilers, one for firewood and one for gas. We had a lot of firewood, we had 5-6 candles in our room.

Spring was coming there more. Beds and gardens were to be planted, potatoes were planned to be planted, everything was grown. It's just that, I'll tell you, there was a lot of tension. You read the information, there the self-propelled guns were shot down and fired upon.

Life went as it went. It was impossible to stop him.
