I myself am from an orphanage, I was taken in when I was was 2 years old. Then I was kicked out of the house, my stepmother told me not to return. The youngest, Sashkov, is 5 months old. I gave birth to him in Kyiv on October 10, but not here, but in the maternity hospital. After giving birth, it so happened that I was sent to Poltava, to the home of the mother and child. But I ran away from there, because it’s like a concentration camp there. I stay here for about a week, and in total in Kyiv for about 7 years,” she claimed Antonina.
