Maksym (age 2), Vladislav (9) and their family had to flee their home in the occupied Kherson region in the east following the beginning of the war. Their father, who joined the Armed Forces to defend Ukraine, was later killed during combat in Donetsk. The family was left without a loving father and husband and have no way of returning home.
Maksym and Vladislav miss their daddy terribly and consider him a true hero.
