Volodymyr worked at the Irpin hospital. The blow to the hospital was not long in coming. Then, a missile nearly cut short the lives of him and his wife. When it became clear that it was necessary to leave, Volodymyr put his wife in the car to his acquaintances, and he got out on a bicycle. He remembers how, before the blown-up bridge, he gave it to a girl hurrying to get back to the city. With a smile, he tells about Kamyanets-Podilskyi, where pensioners were received warmly, supported, and helped cope with the shock.
