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.

The Bondarenko family had a solid two-story house with a basement, providing a quick refuge from shelling without being detected by surveillance drones.

The family cherished this flag for the entire year and a half they spent under occupation.

When Russian shelling briefly stopped in Kreminna, 12-year-old Maximilian’s parents rushed to deliver humanitarian aid to the hospital in Rubizhne.
