Volodymyr is one of the residents of a Kyiv high-rise building that was hit by a rocket on February 7, 2024. At the time of the explosion, he was in the corridor. His mother was injured - both of her legs were hit by glass. Volodymyr and his mother managed to get out of the apartment while some of their neighbours were locked in their flats. The residents worked together to break down the doors and help people leave the burning building.
