Military action in Ukraine has led to the fact that many citizens of Ukraine had to flee their country. Take only what you need and escape from the horror that is happening in the country. Some fled with their families and children. In this article I would like to cite children in their early age have already faced injustice and saw with my own eyes the war.
The Russians are trying to help the refugees from the South-East, in Rostov-on-don one good man was sheltered by three dozen children who are with mothers, who are grandmothers. Igor Grekov had provided the refugees with their three-story mansion. The gate of this mansion are always open for those who wish, in a house often frequented volunteers, youth theatres are all trying to distract from trouble, to entertain, to make you forget the fear that is experienced by refugees. However, in the eyes of the children moved with fear, which never will be out.
Katya, 6 years old, came with her grandmother, grandfather and cousin from Krasnogorovka (Donetsk region).
- We left Krasnogorovka due to bandits. They bombed our homes and ourselves. We had a big house. When we left, he was still intact. The worst is when flying bombs. At night the whole sky blazed. In this case, we went down to the basement and sat there all night. Beds weren't there, were lying on boards. We left there very quickly, things take time. I managed to take only a small bear. I don't have boots or a warm sweater. But I'm not cold. I am very worried for the cross, she stayed at home, we don't know what it is, because there are still bombed.
Serge, 11 years old, came with her grandmother and sister from the may day (Luhansk region).
- The bombing started, we ran to the shelter. Ahead ran the grandma with Diane on her hands (she's only three). I had to run quite a bit, like five steps, but suddenly nearby something blew up, I fell. Then grandmother told me that I had a splinter passed through his cheek. Already here, in Rostov, I had the surgery. Now cheek does not hurt, but left a noticeable scar. How much is gonna be here and where are we to go then, we don't know. I'm afraid to go home. But, we left the cat and the dog. When we left, the dog Dara was crying, but to take your Pets with you, we could not. I am 11 years old, but in school I don't go, the doctors forbade me to get nervous and said that may open bleeding. But I'm already healed, and will soon go to school.
Lera, age 10, came with his parents and brother from Makeevka (Donetsk region).
- I'm crying, because I heard the song of the Cossack. Upset. We in Makeyevka did too. We had beautiful. I really want to go home. We have recently arrived with her mom, dad and brother. We didn't shoot, but it was all audible. Every time we listened and discussed: further or closer? When the war ends, I want to be a hairdresser, I love beautiful hair and are able to come up with them myself!
Daniel, 11 years old, came from Ilovaisk (Donetsk region).
- The last time we lived in the basement. I saw the shells flying. We were hiding, we sometimes resorted to hiding the neigbour aunt Ira. On our street there is no one of the whole house, in ruins. I have two brothers and a sister. They begin to cry at the sound of an airplane. The youngest brother, Egor, only 2 months. I do all the nursing. And I love tinkering, the details always carry with me.
Arthur, 6 years old, came with her mother and brother from Lugansk.
- We left Luhansk because of the war. There is constantly a shoot like this – Bang-Bang! Mom said it was fireworks, but I know that this is not a salute. Everyone is afraid and hiding in basements. We too were hiding. I was going to go to the first class. But we did not go to school, instead went to the Crimea. Mom's friends live there. Lived a little in them, and then came here.
Daniel, 5 years old, came with her grandmother from Lugansk.
Daniel - a boy with childish serious look. His grandmother said that really didn't want to leave, breaking up the family, but the boy was very afraid of the bombing, not sleeping at night. In the end, the family Council it was decided to leave to save the boy.
- Left all: parents of Daniel, house. Son to leave did not want to, the son-in-law went into the militia, the daughter behind him. Helps fighters, preparing a meal. Daniel misses her family: mom, dad, even though I try to do something, but most everything inside is turned with pity, responsibility for the child, fear and anxiety for children, because they stayed there, where do not stop the bombing, without a penny. Son and I were able to talk only once, to replenish the account even. We wait for the return home, the most important thing was this house...
