Forty (for Maryna)

#Maryna_Hryshko was killed by the #Russian attack on #Kyiv last night.

She was just seventeen and an only child of her parents. #Maryna's dad is defending #Ukraine.

Deepest condolences.

Relatives and friends helped with the interior and the start of the business. The coffee shop was opened in just a month and a half in #Mykolaiv.

#Maryna says she wants visitors to understand the importance of supporting the Armed Forces of #Ukraine and to never forget the fallen Defenders.

"Never forget the damage caused by #putins_russia!"😢

#Maryna_Muzyka and her husband dreamed of opening their own coffee shop. Then, a year ago, #Maryna's husband died defending #Ukraine.

"If he can no longer make this dream come true himself, I have to fulfil it for both of us and tell people who #Mykyta was," #Maryna shared.

The coffee shop's name, "#Kit_Mykyta" (#Cat_Mykyta), comes from #Maryna’s husband’s military call sign.

"It is very hard to take the keys and close your door forever. You can buy a lot of houses, but you can't buy your home."

#Maryna, a resident of #Donetsk region and a passenger on the evacuation train, shared how hard it was to say goodbye to her home.
