Natalia Tsybulko's life was shattered by the death of her daughter, Olena Kohut, who was killed in an explosion during a Russian missile attack in Sumy. This Ukrainian city has faced persistent assaults during the war, becoming a target for missiles and drones. Despite the ongoing conflict, the community remains determined, with residents taking up arms to defend their town. The acting mayor, Artem Kobzar, emphasizes the city's resilient spirit. Sumy has transformed into a refuge for those from villages closer to the border, impacted by frequent attacks.
Natalia Tsybulko recalls her son-in-law's call, saying, 'Mom, Olena is no longer with us.' He was holding her body in his arms after she was killed.
Despite the bombing and attacks, Sumy remains resilient. Locals still visit the riverside promenade and remember music festivals from before the war.
