73-year-old Tamara is one of the few people who has stayed in the town of Konstantinivka, eastern Ukraine.
“God protects me,” says 73-year-old Tamara. She’s one of the few people who have stayed in the town of Konstantinivka, eastern Ukraine. “If there is a need, God will save me. If not,” she adds with a shrug, “it is what it is.” Tamara has lived in the same flat for the past 40 years. Her son, a drug addict she says nonchalantly, is in Russia. Her husband died long ago. Now, it’s just her and her cat. Konstantinivka is 22 kilometres, about 13.
An incoming missile hit a shed, shredding trees, throwing mangled sheets of metal in all directions, splattering shrapnel on surrounding walls. “I’m on the last breath of survival,” she sighs. “I’m on the verge of needing a psychiatrist.” What keeps her sane, she tells us, are her flat mates – five dogs and two cats. “In the market they tell me I should feed myself, not my cats and dogs,” she says, a smile creeping onto her wrinkled face.
