The nightmarish moments she lived, with her family, in martyrdom Mariupol describes, speaking to SKAI and Maria Douroudithe Nina Topalova expatriate Greek teacher, who was forced to leave the city.

THE Nina Topalovawho is also the former president of the Greek youth of the area, is told that she managed with her children and her mother, to leave as if chased from a city that was found in a suffocating siege.

“We just woke up and got some things that were necessary. “I left with water and in my pajamas,” she said.

The decision to leave her family in Mariupol as he said it was not easy at all: “We did not want to leave. Nobody wanted to. But we decided to leave. “We did not have time to think about what to take with us.”

In fact, as she revealed, her house was leveled as it was hit by a rocket.

However, despite the extensive destruction that Mariupol has suffered, Nina Topalova stated that people will return to the city where “the heart of the Hellenism of Ukraine beats”.

The interview in detail:

Nina: what a nice city we had, what nice houses, with Greek buildings. We also have a federation of Greek clubs, what a beautiful building. I do not know if this building exists. And we did not want to leave. Nobody wanted to. But we decided to leave. We did not have time to think about what to take with us. Should we go or not should we go …

We just woke up and got some things that were necessary. I with water and left in pajamas. My house no longer exists. Rocket hit my apartment building and in the pictures you can see my apartment building.

My daughter took her violin, my son took the bouzouki, but he also plays the guitar and now he has a big psychological problem to tell you the truth, that he did not take the guitar with him.

Journalist: You were with two small children. You could eat and drink water, there was a toilet.

Nina: We entered the house and then left. For a few minutes at first and then the hours increased. When we sounded the sirens we went from the house to the vestibule. From ten minutes at first, then we sat for 3-4 hours.

Journalist: Leaving an image that hurt you a lot, what was it?

Nina: When they started bombing the peaceful population, the apartment buildings and I know a lot of people built. They renovated, just like me. I feel so much pain for Mariupol and so much grief that it is difficult to describe. People sitting in shelters in the 21st century hurt me a lot.

Journalist: Will the Hellenism of Ukraine be lost with this war?

Nina: No never. The Hellenism of Ukraine will never be lost. The city that beats the heart of the Hellenism of Ukraine, Mariupol, I believe they will rebuild it, the people will return.
I feel the pain of all these people and I can not understand why people are to blame, why the peaceful population is to blame.
