Dmytrivka, a small village in Ukraine, has witnessed the horrors of war.

The tragedies that occurred in Dmytrivka only a few weeks ago are still visible everywhere around Tamara Aheieva.

The burned wreckage of a Russian armored tank lies across the road from her small fruit stand.

A deep crater made by a rocket is just to her right, its edges formed of unusually smooth asphalt that melted on contact and then solidified again.

The building next to it has been severely damaged, and its roof has collapsed.

She said, “A man I knew was killed riding his bike down the road.”

Aheieva reopened her shop on Friday, selling home-made pickled veggies, flowers, potatoes, and “cabbage caviar.”

When Russian troops began to draw in on the village, she left and spent the following few weeks in the Zhytomyr region, about 50 miles away.

According to Aheieva, 17 homes have been damaged in this small community alone.

Her house was spared the worst damage since it was set back from the main road.

The 64-year-old pensioner was one of many who came here before the war to sell home-cooked food, veggies, and flowers. It’s just her now.

“We were here until the last moment. We left when the awful things started happening,” she exclaimed.
