In two days, Tetiana’s grandson was taken to Crimea with classmates. They were supposed to return in two weeks, but the stay kept extending. Kyrylo called to say they weren’t coming back.

He was just three years old when his father, a soldier, was killed in the 2015 battles in the Donetsk region.

At that time, Anastasia and Kyrylo, along with their children and a relative, took shelter in the corridor of their apartment.

This is precisely what psychologists, educators, and social workers at Save Ukraine’s community centers are dedicated to.

On February 24, the boy was with his father and older brother in their native village.

Today the children finally met their families after a long separation.

17-year-old Elizaveta studied at a college in Kherson and lived in a dormitory. It was in September 2022. After a week of training, the director told the children they were going on vacation to Crimea.

During the occupation of the city of Kherson, Denys Berezhny was taken to a camp in the Crimea.

By painting a piece of iron that brought death and sorrow to our land, the children transformed it into a work of art.
