Andrii was only ten when a russian convoy crushed his family’s car on a road between villages in the Chernihiv region. His mum, dad and uncle were in the car. After the crash, the boy lost consciousness, and when he came round, he saw russian soldiers who had pulled him out of the wrecked car and left him by the roadside. A few minutes later, they shot the car’s fuel tank and set it alight with the people still inside. Andrii says: at that moment, his mum was still alive.
After the tragedy, his older sister Tetiana took charge of looking after him. She lost three of her closest relatives at once, survived a fresh russian shelling in Kyiv, is restoring her damaged flat and, at the same time, is trying to give her brother, who lives and breathes football, a normal childhood.
The boy is certain: it is important to tell your stories so that the world knows that war is a crime.
The story of the brother and sister is one of loss, remembrance and an attempt to cling to life after the war took almost everything.
