At the start of the full-scale invasion, Oleh’s son was working near Hostomel and was forced to stay there for a long time; he even said goodbye to his parents. But by a miracle he managed to break out of the encirclement. Oleh is a pensioner. He took his wife, daughter, and two granddaughters and left for Zakarpattia. Money was scarce, but a friend helped Oleh by inviting him and his family to the Czech Republic.
