The local Khotyn community is not going to leave, they say, they have only become stronger and braver during this time.

And in order not to despair, they are working more on the ground and rebuilding what was destroyed by enemy shelling, says TSN.

Tetyana's surroundings came under fire when the woman was in the garden.

The woman and her son barely had time to run to the cellar when explosions began in the garden and in the yard.

"We hear such a whistling above us - immediately we lay down on the ground, it jerked.

And then one by one they started to cry," she says.

Having recovered from the shock, the family immediately began to clean everything.

The son covers the holes in the house with cement.

The wicket was demolished, the gate was broken, and construction film was stretched instead.

The windows were also covered with polyethylene, although the wind does not blow in the rooms.

And again to the garden, because the potatoes have not been chosen.

On a nearby street, three people came under fire. A projectile hit the roof of a car in the middle of the street when a 35-year-old man was driving home. He miraculously survived and is now in the hospital with multiple shrapnel wounds.

"A man and two women have shrapnel injuries to their limbs, they are in the hospital.

The woman was riding a bicycle and the other woman was just outside her yard," the police say.

The grueling shelling of the Russians became a real test for the residents of the Khotyn community - the border of the Russian Federation is 500 meters away.

In the village of Studenok, a school, a kindergarten, a medical facility, and the village council have been targets of shelling more than once.

"We fixed it again, they fired again when they got things in order a little and fired again at the same buildings.

The main thing is that there are no victims and victims, and we will rebuild the rest," says village head Petro Yeromenko.  

"They are envious that we live, and they exist.

We have freedom of speech, but they don't, try what you say - and you'll be in trouble right away," local resident Viktor is convinced.

The villagers say that you can't get away from an aggressor neighbor. So how can they show the occupiers that they should not be intimidated and left their homes, they will not be forced.

They hide from shelling, they save themselves from despair with hard work and faith in the fact that the Armed Forces will soon drive out the invaders from the entire Ukrainian land.
