Halyna's son from Toretsk, miner Vitalii, was returning home from a night shift. On the way, he fell into the epicentre of rocket fire and received serious leg injuries. At that time, there had been no communication in the mining town on the front line for several days. Halyna's son was saved by a passing elderly man. He bandaged him with a rubber rope from a utility wheelbarrow. The rope worked like a medical tourniquet. Vitalii was taken to the hospital by volunteers who saw the explosion site from afar. The man has had 7 surgeries and complications. He was treated first in Dnipro, and then in Zaporizhzhia. The Rinat Akhmetov Foundation supported the family.
