The city is widely spread around the river. Silver mirror of a wide bug. The bridge through the bug is raised every now and then. From Nikolaev every day there are buses with women and children to the still safe Odessa, someone runs further-to Moldova, someone goes to those parts of Ukraine that have not yet been covered by war.

The city is fired on the outskirts. The city in the half -ring - Russian units stand from the north and east, 20 kilometers.

Military governor Vitaly Kim became a star. In his telegram channel-650 thousand subscribers. He writes himself on a mobile camera, each broadcast starts with "Mi Z Ukrainian!". He is a Russian -speaking and half Korean, and this is an endless occasion for local jokes about the “Nazis who seized power in Ukraine” (the Nazis does not tire of resembling Russian television).

In the city - the regime of the Black Heaven. After sunset, it is impossible to turn on the light, the employees of the city executive committee promised that because of the guilty they would turn off the light to the whole house. All shops, except for grocery and pharmacies, are closed. In schools and kindergartens since the beginning of the war - holidays. They try not to separate children from adults. Many routes have been canceled - part of the buses was taken by the army, other buses participate in evacuation.

At the intersections of the mountains are tires. They will be set on fire when the Russian military enters the city. On many tires - traces of paint: they were enclosed by flower beds. The mayor of the city said: at least some benefits from this war, we will get rid of rubber swans.

Neat lines behind the humanitarian. Croats, canned food, butter.

Life cut air anxiety. The BSMP hospital is converted into a hospital - after operations and processing of wounds, people are evacuated. The beds should remain free for new receipts. Hospital staff lives here - two weeks, from the beginning of the war

The humanitarian is coming from Odessa. Odessa prays to Nikolaev. Odessaites believe: it is Nikolaev - the reason why Odessa will not yet storm.

Yaroslav Chepurnaya, press officer of the 79th brigade defending Nikolaev, says:

- Nikolaev partially in the half -ring.

Around the city, 17 battalion-tactical groups of Russian troops are concentrated. If we assume that each battalion-tactical group is up to about a thousand military personnel, then it is 17 thousand military personnel. So, somewhere about one and a half thousand units of military equipment. We do not know, of course, the plans of the Russian command, we assume that some of these battalion-tactical groups will go north, maybe on a crooked horn. Well, some part will remain and will storm the city. We understand that the Russian command has the task of taking Nikolaev, there is a task to take Odessa and, apparently, break through the land corridor to Transnistria. And so we are preparing defense. And every day that they give us without attacking Nikolaev, he strengthens our defense.

They are from the east and from the north ... They are already trying in some places above Nikolaev to land the landing and organize, apparently, crossing the southern bug. In the area of ​​New Odessa, the river is already here. And here, in the area of ​​Nikolaev, the southern bug spreads, after the Barbar bridge it is already called the South Bug Liman. And he is very wide. And if we blow up the bridges, it will be very difficult for them to cross, we have a steep coast. Therefore, we understand that, most likely, they will be somewhere north, in the area of ​​the New Odessa, it is possible to make a pontoon-bridge crossing. Moreover, according to our intelligence, we know that they carry pontoons, they carry boats-that is, the equipment that is necessary to guide the pontoon-bridge crossings.

Several times Russian troops attacked the city. Four times attacked, the first three times-it was an exploration of battle, they approached with very small forces, we repelled these attacks, burned their equipment ... And on March 7 there was already a stronger attack, at first rockets and "tornadoes", then they already attacked our positions by the forces of two battalion-tactical groups.

And here is an interesting fact. They had a lot of equipment, but we knocked out several tanks, several armored vehicles. And this turned out to be enough for them to turn around, retreated. It turns out that, having suffered very little damage, slight damage to their troops, for some reason they turned around and moved away. We did not even expect. Because when there is an offensive by tanks, armored vehicles, there is a battle, the loss of several cars - this should not be an obstacle to the development of the offensive. After that, intelligence is also sometimes suitable - well, it leaves.

According to official figures, more than three thousand for the whole of Ukraine, and I trust this official data. Even in our area, many, many dozens are already going on. Two days ago, 12 people had already surrendered - after clashes surrendered, there were not even clamps.

The city is sheated - “Smerch”, “Hurricane”, “Grad”. But if the “city” is 122 mm, the “hurricane” is 240 mm and the “tornado” - 320 mm, these are all systems of special power. The first attacks were on military facilities, that is, on February 24, our military airfield Kulbakino was fired, a blow was struck on it, but our aviation was no longer there, that is, it was essentially idle. On the 4th evening, they struck the railway station, warehouses with fuel, then got into the bread plant-I don’t know why ... And then, the 6-7th, especially, the shelling of the military unit began and the shelling of residential quarters began. The treatment facilities near Nikolaev have already been fired several times, and we understand that an attempt to make problems to the local population with water. There are settlements between Nikolaev and Kherson, and between them they have fire positions, from which they strike artillery strikes.

On Kherson, it fell out kulno. This is a ship area, the south is the private sector Balabanovka. The house was won. They seem to be unfinished. Slavifa flew away from the fence, hollowed inside the roof, the fragments of life on the road between the houses. The brick fence scattered into the bricks, a sign with number 22 was preserved at the whim of a whim. There are no glasses in the houses, from this they seem non -residential. Behind the green gates, a crumpled gazelle is hiding.

Distributed garden. Cuttled cherries - the branches lie on the warm ground. In the attic there are three through holes.

Sasha on the ladder is cleaned with a broken slate from the roof. He cries, but does not notice this, does not wipe his face.

- At first they shot. Then it burst on wheat, the windows carried out to us right away. Then it seemed quiet. My wife is in the hallway, I'm in the kitchen. She sat down, I look out of the window so and here, it is not clear where - two black planes are like stealth. The wife fell and there is tra-t-tu! The smoke is some white. I fell on my wife and we crawled. So I gathered all the fragments. The same fragment can be cut half in half.
Nadia, his wife, sits with his hands on his knees:

- Here I sat down. Here I sat. And I sit like that, there is no sound. There is no sound to be scared. Two planes of such terrible black, dark gray, and I did not even move. I think they do not shoot the population. And then it began on the ceiling ... This is such a horror ... Look at the gates, what holes. If you had time to shoot me. I am in such shock that I cannot leave. You know, I'm afraid. Because leaving is also scary. This must be reached. I watched the news, the family left. We hit the shelling. And the children died, and parents.

The Nikolaev Center for Socio -Psychological Rehabilitation of Children - the City Shelter - was evacuated immediately after the outbreak of war. 93 children from 3 to 18 years old. They are social orphan - there are parents, but they cannot take care of children. Children were evacuated to Antonovka - a village 67 kilometers from the city, towards Krapivnitsky, the former Kirovograd. Five days ago, Russian troops stood next to the village. On March 8, at 9:20 in the morning, a car was shot on the Kirovograd highway by the Russian military, taking the change of educators to children's shelter. Three women died.

The driver Anatoly Alexandrovich Gerashchenko shifts from foot to foot. In the right leg, a fragment. They did not get out - "the surgeon said, we will operate, if he starts to rot." Nearby stands Masha - one eye of blue, the other brown, clinging to his father. “I have three sons and two daughters,” Anatoly Alexandrovich boasts. He begins to shake, he says: "Cold."

This was his third trip to Antonovka. He worked for the cost of fuel. On the windshield glued a red cross from island. His car-a Mercedes-sprinter-burned along with the bodies inside.

- This is the third time for the third time. We went through the checkpoints. Passports were shown. Six women were sitting in the cabin with me. Two women sat in a booth from behind. On the checkpoint they said that something was at night. But, in theory, they should not have let us go there!

There were no cars to meet. The path is empty. We drove 25 kilometers. And for 250 meters, well, I have a little vision, and the women saw, they say: "Someone ahead, some kind of technique." I say: "Girls, what are we going to do?" Scheduled the speed. At first there was an automatic line. But I did not hear her or saw her. I just saw that the gravel was jumping on the side. I only now understand what it was.

As we shot at us, I do not remember. Either I stopped already, or the car rolled a little more. I have not seen the explosion. I just felt, something sprinkled. Flash in the legs. I run out of the car. They run up with machine guns. I am lying face on the asphalt and scream: “There are women! There are women! There are women! ”

The Russians opened the back door, where four more people were sitting. The women went out onto the field, they ran to them and shout: “Throw phones!” They, four women, threw phones under their feet. I throw the phone into the grass. I had a small phone in my pocket, and the smartphone stayed in a car on a torpedo.
I then return to the car, I look, there is no smartphone. I began to look for him. A woman near the door sits - she did not have a completely face. Only the insides were. On my threshold, on my footboard, her finger lay. There was no face, there was no! And behind me the woman killed me - but I did not see her.

The Russians say: “We warned! They gave a warning queue. " But I'm not fighting! Not every day they warn me with a queue. One woman had one injury in the shoulder. They lifted her. One, Yakut or Buryat, made her a dressing. And the second was a young boy like that. Such glasses are black as mine. I also remembered my face. And my leg, well, beat me with fragments. And this boy shies away from me. Is it scary or something, did he become? I tell him: how do we get out of here? He says: “Go with fields. The signs were taken everywhere on the road. ” I say: “We will go along the highway. You tell yours if someone is there on the way. ” They say: "We have already reported."

From the Russians, there was indifference. It was not even interesting to them that the car was burning there, that someone stayed there. I say: "Help at least put out!" They are standing.

Already the car was burning and, the booth was burning, I see someone is lying there. I went into the booth. There is a woman. The husband accompanied her. Kissed. I pulled her out from behind, then another woman helped me. We put her on the asphalt and the back was exposed to her. I dragged on the jacket and, the whole back was riddled by fragments. Well, I did not check the pulse, nothing. My husband called today. I say: "She has not burned, I pulled out ... She is still there."

Two bodies remained in the car. The car was burning well.

My birthday is November 11th. And March 8.

The murdered women were called - Natalya Evgenievna Mikhailova, Elena Alexandrovna Batygina, Valentina Anatolyevna Vidyushchenko. Svetlana Nikolaevna Klyuyko, director of the center, tells about each: “Mikhailova Natalya Evgenievna - she has been with us since 2014 and worked as a teacher. She has very extensive experience, she worked in a special school at one time. This is a person from God, a kind soul man. If you can come up with, it will be a sample. She loved children very much, she is so smart, needlewoman. In general, all employees are good for me, but she found a word for each. She worked only with adult boys. On May 4, she would be 50 years old, prepared to celebrate the anniversary. Batygina Elena Alexandrovna - she was engaged in children: dressed them, dressed up, picked up clothes. Our children have always been very beautifully dressed. She always had a large selection of costumes, elegant dresses, her children also loved very much. The kindest. She worked for 20 years. She was 64 years old. Vidyushchenko Valentina Anatolyevna - here she is recently, for the second year she worked, an assistant teacher. She worked in our group where the kids were only acting. In the group of newly arrived children. She had such, you know, one of the most heavy areas. The children only come, they cry, they .. I brought it, I don’t know where, he is worried, this child. This is the person who met the children. She washed, dressed, changed clothes, reassured, persuaded. Here. These people died. The children had a tantrum. The children were waiting for them, we said they were going. The children shouted and shouted. "

The bodies - what was left of the bodies - could not be taken. "It is impossible to get there." They lie 25 kilometers from the nearest Ukrainian block.

The wounded - assistant educator Anna Nikolaevna Smetan, psychologist Elena Fedorovna Belanova - in Nikolaev hospitals. The surviving educators Galina Ilyinichna Lytkin and Natalya Evgenievna Vedeneeva are hospitalized “in a state of psychological shock”.

93 children and ten educators in Antonovka surrounded by troops are waiting for evacuation - "further to Ukraine."

All bodies of the dead pass through the regional bureau of forensic medical examination. According to the head of the bureau Olga Deryugina, since the beginning of the war, more than 60 bodies of Ukrainian military and more than 30 civil bodies have received. Please name the exact numbers, she says: “meaning? We constantly have new revenues. ” Each body is examined by the employees of the investigative department - they prepare documents for the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

- We have never had such a number of bodies. Shrapheads, bullet, explosions ... most fragmentation. We had bodies with unexploded ammunition, and explosive equipment came and neutralized them ... In the bodies, inside, there were two such cases, explosives arrived and these bodies cleared.

- Yes, there was an unexploded mine, I pulled out. - says the forensic expert Yuri Alexandrovich Zolotarev. - The warhead was damaged, so it did not explode, I pulled out the mechanism, gave it to the explosives, because it was necessary to investigate. I said that the women move aside ... the former military ... I carefully extracted her and gave it out. In the body of a man, in his chest, the plumage stood, and there was a warhead in her stomach, so she did not explode, her stomach is soft. This is even when Ochakov’s shelling was, it is mainly the bodies from Ochakov ... And the second only had a part of a min. When the women recognized the women yesterday, they shouted to the whole street so, I have not heard this in twenty years. I was in the war in Bosnia, there was no such atrocities. I opened our two - not only that they shot them, they still finished off their knives in the back ... On March 6, two young guys went to the territory of the aircraft repair factory, tried to burn Molotov with the technique ... They were caught, tied up, shot in the head and then finished off in the shoulder blade, there were knife wounds, from daggers, finished off. This is atrocities, they took the wounded, finished off ...

- First shot, and then finished off?

- I have been working as a forensic expert for twenty years! I understand that the wound was before, which after.

The bodies are dumped in two sections of the "refrigerator" - rooms with temperature control. But in the refrigerator they do not fit. On the street against the wall in black plastic bags are those who have already been examined - eight bodies. In the building, which was used as a barn before the war, two rooms are busy with bodies. The bodies cover the floor. In the corner are the bodies of five Russian troops. “So far it’s cold, we keep it. It is not clear to whom and how to transmit them. ”

- This is all who suffered from the war, charred, packed already in bags ... cross, do not be afraid. ... I still have it, here. And then, when we worked, we pack them in sanitary packages, respectively, lay them, because the opened bodies, honestly, have nowhere to lie down, you saw the halls ...

Naked legs, someone shod. A charred guy lies with his arms divorced, a sprayed black lump instead of a face. Half of the human body, the meat is mixed with grass, the head is covered with a jacket, a male hand peeps out from under the jacket. A naked man wrapped in a colorful sheet. Russian soldier - his hands are thrown behind his head, camouflage lifted up, a clean vest, a yellow strip of abdomen peeps.

In the refrigerator, the bodies lie in several layers. Two girls lie on the other. They are sisters. The eldest is 17 years old, in a heap of bodies I see only a hand with a neat pink manicure, long thin fingers. The youngest - she is three years old - lies with her sister. Blond hair, the lower jaw is tied with a bandage, the hands are tied on the stomach. In the body - red points of fragments, input holes. The girl seems alive.

- Arina Dmitrievna Butema and Veronika Aleksandrovna Biryukova. They have one mother, different fathers. Were delivered on March 5 at 17.00. Lived in the village of Meshkovo-Pogorelovo, Shevchenko Street,-the orderly Nikolai Chan Chu-Mila speaks and looks past. “I am a kum ... their parents baptized my children.” We are friends of families. They brought me girls, on my shift. Of course, I recognized them. I cannot tell you that at that moment I experienced.

The father of the girls Dmitry Butoy stands behind the fence. Waiting for the body to give. Eyes are hidden in rollers of red skin. “Faith in the kitchen warmed food, Arina went out into the yard. That the youngest, that the eldest - there was no chance. The youngest immediately died, a fragment through the heart, the eldest had a heart for two minutes, but it did not go. Mom in the hospital in the oaks, a fragment went through the thigh, damaged it inside. Sorry. I am now the main thing to bury children. ”

They brought a new body, unfold a striped sheet. A man with an oxygen pipe from his mouth, the body was sown with fragments, saved, did not save. He is left to lie in the yard.

Four men with dark roses stand in the corner. They are waiting for a colleague to them - a guard, peaceful, Igor, “Damn“ Smerch ”flies and that's it.”

The body is taken out of the barn in camouflage pants. The body is purple, instead of the face - a wide incision. Two men from the investigative department are inclined over him. They describe their clothes, tighten their pants, take a sample on DNA - they lay a bandage in the blood, then one sticks fingers in a mess in place of the mouth - you need to find out which bones of the skull are broken and which are not.

A fair -haired woman in a dark scarf over her head says:

- My mother lived on the fifth floor. She could not go down, in the bomb shelter, to the basement. She had neighbors nearby. The neighbors helped, they were one family. She died in the morning, calmly, as far as possible - calmly. In the bathroom on the floor, hiding from this horror. And the next day, exactly at the same time, a rocket hit the neighboring house, and all of her apartments were knocked out. But she was not there already, in this apartment. I don’t know, this is some miracle that on Sunday she died calmly. The next day, she would have died in terrible fear. She was 77. I have a photograph of the apartment, what was left, the neighbors were sent to me. Here is a view from her window, and this is a neighboring house where the rocket got. It was the next day, she would not have experienced it. She died on forgiven Sunday. And on March 7, all the glasses in the apartment were broken, she would be unbearably scary. Since this was destined to happen, it is good that this happened on the 6th, not 7. I am so grateful. My mother was called Svetlana Nikolaevna. Half Russian. Her husband, my dad, was born in Krasnoyarsk. He served here, and they met. My grandfather, my mother’s dad, he is from Kursk. Our family was Russian -speaking. We are going to the cemetery. My son is in Kyiv. My name is Oksana.

The military unit A0224 is one of the two unconditionally military facilities in Nikolaev, where artillery got. March 7 at 5:15 am a caliber missile hit the barracks. 9 dead, of which there are 5 conscripts who did not participate in hostilities. 14 wounded. Two conscripts, who were considered missing, found after a few hours - they fled to another position and hid there.

A piece of a three -story building turned into debris. There is a two -story bed on a surviving piece of floor.

The fragments are dug up manually. Rescuers work with the military, the fragments are transferred upwards up. They are looking for the body of the last missing person - his name was Stas, he was born from Western Ukraine, was drafted 8 months ago.

Yaroslav, saved that night, squints in the sun, his hands lie on the machine. “The alarm was shouted at 5:15. I get up, shout: "Guys, we’ll run out!" And the very first ones, they didn’t even shoes, ran out of the building ... Outside, the guys stood - shouted to enter the room because God forbid, he would fly outside that the fragments could ... and began to return back. I began to run back, and on the second floor, and seven meters from me ... seven meters from me I see the following picture: these plates ... threw slabs and flash - fire. I saw fire.

At 5:17 they already hit us.

And I was thrown back, I fell, closed my head and I feel that the glass was falling on me. I'm starting to turn on ... 15 seconds pass, I turned on the flashlight and crawl. I hear that people scream, the woman screamed. I crawl, crawl - and I feel that there is no longer land under me. There is no land. And I hear, the foreman shouts: "Everything is outside!" I was able to go back, began to run out into the street. The machine captured. And he shouted to everyone who was still, who [NRZB] say: "Guys, we all run into shelter." So we ran into. Taras, Danila, still guys - remained under the rubble. There were 29 people in Kubrick.

I don't want to swear just swearing ... but after that I will not take. And I don’t feel sorry for the fact that there are parents somewhere, my wife is not a pity. I am twenty years old, I studied at the veterinarian, but now I am not sorry for anyone. "

Next to him stands a dark -skinned Anthony. He was born in Moscow, then he lived in Lugansk with his grandmother 11 years old and left for America before the war. “Eight months ago I arrived in Ukraine, I wanted to start a new life, I knew that they would take it into the army, I thought I was 23 years old, now I would serve a term and start my new life, and then bam - and the war began.” “I will finish the service, I will earn extra money in America, buy an apartment in Ukraine, I will find my wife. Now I know for sure what I want and will live in this country. ”

On the forefront, the Tiger was shot. The crew - four Russians - surrendered. The command believes that the Russians conducted reconnaissance in battle, but those who stood in positions say - "most likely got lost."

Arthur-the face is closed by a black bandage, in a peaceful life-an economist-defector, tells.

- from the side of Kherson the car rode. I drove up, I found that it was armored. They opened the window. I look inside - Russians, in uniform. I say - give up, well, and obscenities too. He closes the window. I wanted to shoot out the window, but I did not have time, I started shooting at the wheels, struck the wheels. Seconds for 20, the car was driving. They threw a grenade, the car caught fire. They did not get out of the car at first. We knocked out the window - they began to give up.

“Have you talked with them?”

- They tried not to talk. These are terrible warriors.

The soldiers are laughing.

- They said, well, as usual, they told all kinds of garbage, such as the exercises, all these jokes. "I don't know where I got." This is all nonsense. They all know.

The prisoners were handed over to the SBU.

On the dividing strip they wrote - death of the Vorogam.

Soldiers are warming up by the stove, drown with firewood. "Russians *** (stolen) Spring"

“They told me that there were from those towers.” Either a sniper or a machine gunner, I will definitely not say. My bullet passed 40 centimeters from my leg. After the third bullet, I realized that they were firing personally for me, ”says the fighter with the call sign, the artist.

- Are you waiting for the assault on the city?

- I am waiting for one thing: so that all this garbage dumps - you yourself know where. And I also want to wish local residents of the occupied territories to prepare Molotov cocktails. And I want to wish happiness to my daughter. She is 3 years old. He called - Maria.

The family stayed here. Brother has a larger house than mine. We all live in the same village: that mother, that brother, what I am. Since his brother is older than me, he, as they say, is the head of the family. His task is to protect women and children, my task is to be here. When the shelling of the Kulbakino airfield was going on, I was in Varvarovka at this time, I worked at the 61st plant (Nikolaev shipyard-E.K.), we built ships there. My uncle woke me up at 6:30, the shelling of Kulbakin was already walking, it was very well audible. At 8:20 I was already at the Central Military Commissariat. I was given a summons, they said - the next day at 6 am with things. I told my wife after I visited the military enlistment office. And she knew that she knew that I would do so.

- Where can we evacuate? We are on our own land, ”says another soldier. - I have a family in Odessa. While Nikolaev is standing, Odessa will not be touched. Here I am.

- We say: Russians need to go home! They just left home - and that’s it. We did not call you. It is not necessary to die here.

“Here we fired at yours and they died.” Why are they not taken out to their homeland?

- Why don't the bodies take the bodies? Your bodies are simply fertilizing. Sorry, but your son will come here, and you will never see him anymore, and you will not come to the grave to him. And if what happens to me, my mother will pay me and bury me.

- People who used to be brothers before us are already enemies for us, because they attacked, the brothers do not do that. We are forced to protect our land, keep the defense, we did not want war, we did not wait for it.

- I myself am from Nikolaev. What, I will sit at home and wait? On the first day, I immediately went to the military registration and enlistment office.

- We do not want to fight after forgiving Russia. And you do not fight against us.

- They think that Ukraine is weak. No. Ukraine is very good. We know each hole and mink. You came to our land.

- We do not want war. We want us to be left alone.

During the war, 22 children were born in the Nikolaev maternity hospital No. 3. 2 of them - in the basement, which became a bomb shelter. Survived - all.

They practically stopped making a cesarean - the seam should be heated and you need peace, but air anxiety does not give rest.

A maternity room was equipped in the basement. But the operating rooms remained on the third floor - and this is very dangerous.

Air anxiety sounds. Pregnant women descend into the basement, step by step, one hand on the wall. They go hard on the steps. The midwives carry children.

Lena Silweistrov lies on a metal gurney, covered with a woolen blanket. Her husband, Alexei, put her hand on her neck, calms down. Lena gave birth at 4:30 in the morning, Caesarean, before that she tried to give birth herself - almost a day. She is 28, Alexei 26, this is their first child. The fights began in the morning, after the announcement of the commandant, Alexey was driving his wife to the hospital himself.

- Just the war began - and I had a preliminary date of birth. I was very worried when it would begin. I was constantly in fear, in anticipation of when this would happen, not to get on air alarm or to shelling in the city. I was lucky - I made a cesarean between air anxiety. You know, when you are in contractions and want a child of peace and silence, and your city is bombing endlessly!

Alex is stroking her cheek.

“I just want to remember how it is to walk along the street, not afraid of shots.”

The basement dimly lit by lamps. Women are sitting along the walls.

Alexei followed by the head physician. The head physician opens the door of the archive. There, on mattresses, a midwife with a white bundle sits.

The midwife holds out a bundle of Alexei. “There is no need in my hands, I'm afraid,” says Alexei. “We must get used to it. Do not be afraid, please do not be afraid, ”says the midwife.

Alexey takes Masha in his arms. This is the first time, and the midwife carefully corrects his palms.

“So little,” says Alexei. He is silent and leaning lower to his daughter's face. - My girl. Hello! What are you showing me a language? Masha, what are you? Come on you and I will be straight together, in the place every day!

- We only wish the world. Please write, ”says the woman in a white coat. - My name is Nadezhda Sherstov. I am an older sister of anesthesiology, I have been working for 30 years. You know how the war began, the child is born - there is no joy in the eyes of parents. You are worried that women have milk. It's scary for this. Parents have no joy.

“It was very violent in the stomach,” says Alexei to the doctor. - Drowned constantly. Especially when my voice heard, I immediately arranged dancing. Mom did not allow her mother to sleep at night. Now also kicks a little. I thought she would look like me. On the ultrasound they said that my features, and she was beautiful.

The next shelling of Nikolaev began on March 11 at eight in the evening and continued with interruptions all night. According to the mayor of Alexander Senkevich, more than 167 residential buildings, hospital No. 3, filled with civilian wounded, plant for the production of semi -finished products, 11 schools and kindergartens, and a boarding school were damaged. 11 private houses are completely destroyed. The fragments were sown by the courtyard of the oncological department, an ambulance station, Kuzya’s hospital dog, gold, yard, was killed. He was covered with a towel. The city cemetery fell under the shelling. Fires began in the city.
