We quickly gathered, but then my son told me that the helicopters were already flying. We got up and we saw that the shooting was starting, about 20 helicopters were out. flying towards Antonov, which is about a kilometer away from And I didn’t risk it at that moment that I didn’t know where the explosions were happening, they were both on the right and left, and I didn’t know which road was safer go to.
The sky is orange-red, there is a lot of fire. I bothered the kids, I tried to stop them from starting to panic, especially since I had a 13 year old girl.
