"You have to switch off the light so that they do not drop the bomb on us," three-year old Kira said in a cellphone video filmed just before their escape, dressed in a rainbow-coloured tutu and head torch and clutching a stuffed pink unicorn. 
 
But when they arrived, Ivano-Frankivsk was also under attack and Kharazii realised they had to leave Ukraine. 
 
Her husband, Kirill Antonov, stayed behind to deliver supplies to troops, while the women took a 35-hour bus trip to Budapest where they found a free flight to Madrid on March 18. 
 
A relative living in Spain put them in touch with Maria Jose Angoitia, a retired book shop owner who had a vacant flat. 
 
"We had just bought it and were planning to rent it and we said `That`s it, the four of them are coming here!`" Angoitia said, explaining that friends and neighbours helped furnish the house with beds, a television and a microwave. 
 
Angoitia accompanied the family on Tuesday to help them apply for their free travel cards and healthcare registration. 
 
While the women waited in line, Kira, who has already visited the school she will be attending, propelled herself around on a toy motorbike and played with her new Spanish host. 
 
Kharazii`s Russian-born mother-in-law Svitlana Antonova, 64, who grew up in the Donbas region of Ukraine, recalled how she already had to flee once when fighting broke out between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops eight years ago. 
 
"I always thought Russia was the country most committed to peace, I was raised with that thought," she said. 
 
"All of it was a lie."
