Talking to ETimes, Nataliya said,

"My entire family - including my mother, step-father, two brothers, and two nephews (aged 19 and 29 years) - lives in Rivne City in Ukraine. No one knows what will happen next because the situation is very bad and unpredictable. People are in a quandary. Everyone is in a state of shock. There is a lot of panic among people. I spoke with my mother a couple of hours ago, who told me that the Russian troops are closing in on their city as well, and they are being asked to evacuate homes and rush to bomb-blast shelters."

Nataliya is worried if she will ever unite with her family.
