“Thanks to the services, thanks to the companies, to everyone who got to work. There is a lot to do. Life goes on: in the evening – a book by the light of three candles, this morning – boiling water for coffee from a thermos of friends living in the next house, charging a mobile phone at the gas station. The contents of the fridge have been distributed.
Just without grumbling and complaints, because there are places where the situation is even worse,” she wrote.
