thinking about a ukrainian wedding folk song where a girl is upset that her mother can't visit her wedding and sends a nightingale with an invitation, and the mother responds with: "I would love to go / To my child, to my child / To give her a gift / But the soft weed had wrapped around my legs / So that I can't walk / The raw earth had layed upon my chest / So that I can't talk / The pine boards had trapped my feet / So that I can't get up"
Anastasia lost her boyfriend, her friend and other pregnant friend, whose husband is in intensive care now, from russian airstrike. The group was celebrating birthday moments before the attack.
"There were two strikes, it's a miracle I'm still alive, everybody around me died, 5 meters from me. The doctor, who came to apply the tourniquet, had his arm torn off during the second attack", said Anastasia.
