March 8, 2023. The 378th day of war in Ukraine. "I do not have anyone. Take a picture of me so someone can see." - she asked when she saw the camera after saying hello.

When she came up and said hello, I thought she would ask for a cigarette or something, but she asked me to take a picture of her. I replied that we would not see each other again and I could not give her a photo. The answer was: “It doesn't matter. I do not have anyone. You can post this photo anywhere so anyone can see me." She didn't smile and I asked her to smile. The photo turned out just the way it was. On one side of us was a temple, on the other side was a hospital.
