“It’s our hope to end this war and finally move on.” She starts to cry when she thinks about the possibility that the planned Ukrainian counteroffensive will not go well - that the Russians will return, that her city, once again, will be on the front lines of battle. It’s an idyllic place, where she milks her cows and makes cream, butter and cheese that she sells to her neighbors. The property overlooks the Ingulets River. Natalia, 66, lives in a two-storey house with a garden full of tulips and daisies. She says that, today, everything is relatively calm, but about a month ago, 10 missiles fell in a single day. Her town - Snigurivka, in southeastern Ukraine - was occupied by the Russians from April to November 2022. Even her cows and calves learned to hide behind the trees when shells began to fall. Day and night, for several months, Natalia Valentinova Sitnik heard explosions and gunshots.
