Victoriia and her son were waiting for a bandage at Okhmatdyt when Russia launched a massive missile attack on Kyiv. After the first explosion, the family managed to move to the dining room, a room without walls. This saved little Romchik and his mother from the debris. The next rocket hit the largest children's hospital in Ukraine. Roma had undergone surgery two weeks before the shelling, and after the explosion, he suffered a considerable psychological trauma.
