A family of IDPs from Donetsk Oblast opened a family bakery in Dnipro. They have had to leave their home twice because of russia’s aggression. In 2014, they left occupied Horlivka; this year, they had to leave Toretsk. Now, they bring bread and buns baked in their new bakery there. It is impossible to bake bread in Toretsk anymore because there is no water, no electricity, and no gas. However, there are still people in this city on the front line who wait for fresh bread.

The IDPs said they had planned to open one more bakery in March – in Sievierodonetsk in Luhansk Oblast. They even installed equipment there. However, they lost their property when the city was bombarded by artillery and then occupied by the russian forces.

Iryna Dubchenko rescued a wounded Ukrainian serviceman in the village of Rozivka, Zaporizhia oblast, where the active combat started at the beginning of March. Then Ukrainian forces were forced to retreat. Iryna found out that one of the wounded, Serhiy from the Aidar Battalion, had been left in a village house without heating and food.

Iryna took care of the military man and planned to take him to Zaporizhia, pretending to be a couple. However, they did not have time to implement the plan: the soldiers in uniforms with the inscriptions of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic came to Irina. That’s how the journalist and the soldier were taken prisoner. The woman was released in early April. Now Iryna lives in Zaporizhia and is waiting for the deoccupation of her home village.
