Galyna Danyliuk knew she would miss her daughter and grandsons when they fled to Canada shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, but she felt it was best she stay behind to protect their family home.
The 68-year-old hairdresser lives in Rivne, with a population of 240,000, about 330 kilometres west of the capital of Kyiv.
Danyliuk's daughter Kateryna Stepanchuk and her two sons, ages 12 and 16, left Ukraine last year, just months after the Russian invasion."I cannot leave my household and all of this here in Ukraine because my daughter's husband is left here in Ukraine and he's doing a job." Due to its location, Rivne is considered relatively safe, but there have been some rocket attacks. She said her grandmother witnessed one first-hand.
Stepanchuk applauds her grandmother for her resilience and sense of humour, but it was still stressful to hear.
