War broke out in Ukraine on February 24.
Thousands of people left their homeland in fear for their lives.
They also found refuge in the district.
Our newspaper asked four women to write down their adventures and experiences.
Today: Angelina Murskyh.
Wolfratshausen - My name is Angelina Murskyh and I come from Dnipro, the fourth largest city in Ukraine.
The night the war broke out, our daughter, then 1.5 years old, became very ill.
I accompanied her to the hospital.
Family from Geretsried takes in Ukrainians
The Russian military advanced to our area and captured the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
That was scary.
On March 8th I decided to leave the country with my mother and two children.
My husband stayed in Ukraine.
In Germany we stayed in a hotel in Bad Tölz.
We were provided with food for free.
People brought baby food, diapers and clothes.
Because we could only take a few things with us, we needed a lot.
In April, a nice family took us in Geretsried, we received a very warm welcome.
People helped us with any questions and difficulties we had.
Then we realized that the war was dragging on and the Russians could not occupy our city.
But the children missed their father and their home very much.
In addition, we could not find our own apartment.
So in July we decided to return to Ukraine.
No electricity and no heating
Because the shelling from the Russian areas continues, there is always new damage to the infrastructure.
We often have no electricity and no heating.
We often sit in the basement.
That's scary.
But it is important for us to be close to our relatives and friends, to support one another and to have hope in God.

Thank you Germany for opening our hearts and homes to us Ukrainians at this most difficult time in our country's history.
Thank you to all the nice and sympathetic people we were not indifferent to.
And many thanks to Anna Dörfler, who did everything to distract us a little from all the news and concerns about this war.
