We watched political reviews, listened to news, but understand And really to realize what war could begin. We could not.
It was especially scary to wake up from my girlfriend's phone call, who said that the war had begun. When I looked out the window, I saw those horrible, not festive, salutes.

We sat down then until 3am, not knowing what would be tomorrow. parents. Hearing the news, there were no panic. The first seconds were fear, but we quickly took our hands. We recently read our family chat and surprised the correspondence with each chaotic. From that day, I remember the night in the parking lot: cold, strangers, frightened animals, confusion, but at the same time unity and support.
At that moment, everyone was in the head of everyone, "we will all overcome everything," the actress said. He confessed that his war was found in his friends.

The brightest memory of the morning when I wrote to all my family and friends, as we all gathered together to decide what to do and where to go. There were no thoughts, breakfast, I only felt anxiety. The first arrival near my parents' house, and I was constantly worried about them until they came to me at noon.

I immediately had the idea that, probably, this was still the war.
When there is a stressful situation, I always blunt the reaction, so I do not remember everything in the smallest detail. Then I tried to look for news on television, bloggers. I very clearly remember how I sat on the sofa and started to flip through the ribbon. Even then, we gathered a alarming suitcase and left for the cottage, "the girl said.

After the news he and his team did not delay and began to collect things quickly. Already at 8 am, Melovin with the team and friends left for Lviv. The singer took his cat with him.
"What we saw on the street did not fit in his head! People were frightened, threw things into the trunk and just drove away from this, thousands of cars, multi -kilometer traffic jams, queues to fill the car. Everything like a fog. I remember that we were asleep in the back seat in turn, woke up from air anxiety and thought that we would all stop. And while I was driving, I wrote the song "Do not delay".
So, the first days I was devastated, I did not understand what was happening, but I knew one thing - we had to go west the country. This was done by my parents - we called and they also decided to gather and leave Odessa - they took the dog and left their home.

" It was a deep shock for me and the first thing I started to do - read the news. My parents and brothers were still asleep, I woke them up in an hour, because before that I could not gather and just went nervously around the house. I realized that life was divided into and after.
There were many emotions during this period: fear, despair, misunderstanding of how to act and how to help. The most striking emotion is confusion, "- said the singer.

We stayed with friends for several days in the apartment, sometimes we went down to the bomb shelter, when on February 27 we decided to go in Chernivtsi. We tried to get on the train, we were 2 guys and 8 girls.
When we came to the station there was a million people, everyone panicized and did not know what would happen next. Solid panic. In the end, we reached, according to my estimates, there were more than 150 people in one car. " This is how I remember my morning on February 24. After this phrase, I immediately heard the explosions and began to call my loved ones.
We were preparing for the invasion with her husband - we prepared documents for animals, passed a course in self -defense and tactical medicine. We were together. All day, I went to the house of a shot in tactical glasses. For reinsurance, and suddenly there will be shelling? All day it consisted of monitoring of news and answers to a bunch of messages, because I always wanted to hear the same "all OK" from their loved ones.

On February 24, my wife was outside the city, I stayed at home with my children. And in the morning we just slept. At 4 am she called me, "Sasha, the war began. " At first I did not believe, and when I looked out the window - I saw a glow. I quickly called the mother -in -law to be with her children, and he left his wife. We spent about three days just on parking. They lived on the 13th floor, so we had to run back and forth. It was not clear at all how to respond to everything that was happening.
And on the fourth day we went to my brother to another area, they spent another week in the cellars until I decided that the family needed to be taken out. It happened just when the enemy columns began to move to Kiev, "Alexander said. At that time he went to the Zhytomyr highway, but she was too dangerous, so he decided to go to the fields.
So they went with his family to Lviv for 28 hours with some incomprehensible trails After, somewhere during the week he was engaged in documents, and subsequently removed the family to the United States (previously they lived there for eight years).

She thought that I would be a little bit of the road, and he would take me to Bukovel. But the day before, I was called and said that the concert would not be due to the fact that most people leave hotels in large numbers. And I remember, I still thought, "Where do you go, I have a concert.
What did you come up with?" But it turned out that the people who lived there knew a little more than I was. And they were probably warned. So, on February 24 in the morning, I met in Mukachevo with my young man. He woke me up, said that the invasion began and immediately went in business, helping relatives, mom, buying gasoline, and everything necessary. I was staying at home and I had one simple task- to keep calm and call my mom so she would not worry that I was, in fact, "Ler's admitted.

That's something like that.
I didn't have optimistic thoughts at all. As always, my mom was very impressed in my beloved situations. My funny is little. I remember if I called her somewhere at lunch, ask how she was doing, whether she was aware. She cried very. I call her, she cries, I say, what's the matter. She says the war began. And that we have already seen a tank near the school in the village. It was very funny, because they did not reach Kiev then, and I had already seen a tank in my neighbor.
Here my mom thought that the Russian soldiers were already going to us, they were gasping. These were very striking events that clearly reflected in my jokes, "Lera admitted. On this day, 24. 02 I enrolled in my teeth. I really wanted to whiten my teeth and record a new song that day. And then I woke up from my mom's call. She said that the war started and invited me to come to her. I was traveling through all Kiev , and it was very creepy . . . There are no people around, only a few men with a weapon.
