Are you going to ignore it or have it towed to a mechanic? ---

What specifically is it doing–or not doing? Does it crank and not start or does it just sit there and not crank? ---

The car just doesn’t want to start. I drove it switches off and then it does not start again since 12 June 2021. ---

There are many ways people describe car does not start, all with different possible fixes Turn key and complete silence Turn key and clicking sound Turn key and engine tries to turn over but does not catch Which of these has been happening since 12 June 2021 Based on the way you list the date you are either military or outside the US. If outside the US do you have access to a competent mechanic? ---

If it just died while driving, my best guess is a broken timing belt. ---
