«We're playing ‘russian roulette' against our will»: A Kramatorsk resident on the role of business in the city, the paralysis during airstrikes, and the hope that keeps her going amid the shelling
Two months ago, there were pools of blood on the doorstep of the «Garage» café in Kramatorsk: during the shelling on May 5, the occupiers killed civilians who were returning home. This happened just a few meters from the café. Within seconds of the bombs hitting, the first screams rang out—from eyewitnesses and people who had lost their limbs. Olga Malva was one of the eyewitnesses to what happened immediately after the strike. Due to her concussion and grief, she was afraid to step out onto the summer terrace—where patrons used to sit all the time—for several months.
