"Where there is a washing machine and an open door. This is their apartment. It's where they were: the bedroom where she slept with Oleh, and little Lizochka was with them. It looks like one room, and the balcony didn't collapse. Rescuers climbed up there, called them, but it's obvious that they didn't survive," Vladislava said.
