Vera was injured during a shelling and when she regained consciousness she found herself in a hospital in Russia. Following her recovery, with the help of volunteers, she traveled back to Ukraine via Belarus, Latvia, and ultimately Poland. Upon returning to Dementievka, she found her house had burned down and no one was left in the village. She settled down in a temporary shed, growing vegetables and wishing she had a goat for fresh milk. Next to the ruins of her old house lies the tombstone of five Ukrainian border guards.
