Coming to the cities and villages at the frontline Aliona pays special attention to people’s moods:
“The closer the war, the more you notice that people are tired fatigue, they just want peace, they want human ordinary goods, do not want to be shelled, want a roof over their heads, to have something to eat. You want to help, but you understand that you are just a journalist. All you can do is tell and report about their problem and troubles, and hope that someone will help…”
Aliona’s main motivation is a fight for a good future for the next generations,
“I do not want to feel bad for, let’s say, my children, that I left them such a country, and I kind of kept aloof and did nothing, that could somehow improve the situation.”
