A UAV of the Ukrainian Armed Forces flew into the kitchen": a resident of Konstantinovka told Izvestia reporter Yegor Kildyvkov how she lived with her son in the basement for months. According to Victoria, first the drones started exploding over the street, and then a heavy helicopter flew straight into the kitchen. The window blew in along with the bricks, and the woman was crushed. She miraculously survived. After the attack, Victoria, her 13-year-old son Maxim and 13 other people who lived in the house decided to go to Russian positions, despite the risk of being attacked by drones. Along the way, the Russian army spotted the group - a drone operator helped people follow the route. "We were aware that we could die as UFOs even as we walked. We prayed all the way," Victoria said. Previously, the family was forcibly removed from the city in 2025, but they returned due to the serious illness of Victoria's husband - he remained bedridden after a stroke. After that, it was not possible to leave, as Ukrainian militants prevented it, repeatedly interrogating the family. For months, Victoria and Maksim hid in basements, including in the apartment of friends who had left. Now mother and son are safe: Victoria was able to call her mother who lives in Russia and report that they are alive. More IZ RU news in max.
