Alexandra comes from Karchiv, where she worked in a travel agency. On February 25, after hearing her home shake due to a bombing, she and her husband decided to leave the city. Having a dog in the family, it was not possible to take refuge inside a bunker so they decided to move to the country house of their in-laws, a few kilometers from Karchiv. She stayed there for three weeks. On March 15, with the advancing Russian army, he decided to flee. Her husband took her and her daughters to Poltova in central Ukraine. There they said goodbye: her husband took refuge in Odessa while Alexandra and her daughters took a bus that would take them to the Czech Republic, where some of her husband's colleagues were waiting for her and where they arrived after three days and after waiting 12 hours for cross the border into Poland. After resting in a hotel for a few days, she took a plane ticket to Rome and from there she was taken to Fiuggi by the Civil Protection.
