The Main Thing I Took With Me

"There is a text ДЕТИ there (kids) this inscription was in Mariupol, where the Russians bombed women and children in shelter. Even one dead or injured child is an exorbitant, impossible price for political ambitions, and in Ukraine hundreds of children have suffered since February 24. Many people reading the news with these terrible numbers, simply block it in their minds so as not to go crazy with pain. A few weeks ago in Lviv, 109 empty strollers were put up on the main square (the number of children who died at that time, but alas, now the number has increased significantly). When you see these strollers, the numbers stop being just numbers and a terrible pain pierces right into your heart. I asked my daughter to help me and put the imprint of her small hand smeared with red paint on the canvas. Look at this tiny print, how can somebody hurt someone with such a small hand?! My fish in the painting, running away from home, took with her the most important thing - her baby! When we left Kyiv, we did not know whether we would get there alive or whether we could take our child alive to a safe place." ~Daria Zaseda
