According to Yuri Gorbunov, at 4:20 in the morning, a rocket fired by Russian invaders hit an air defense base located near the house of Gorbunov and his wife Ekaterina Osadcha near Kyiv:.

" Not everyone in the country knew yet that the war had begun, but we already knew it for sure, because our house trembled. Everyone woke up - children, nannies, we. And already, looking out the window, how smoke was coming from the place where the base was, another rocket hit there, before our eyes,"

The producer shared that he and his family decided to go beyond the West of Ukraine:.

“At first we were looking for where to find housing in the West of Ukraine, because we first moved to Katya’s parents, then it turned out that planes were also flying overhead there. When you have one five-year-old child, and a five-month-old second, then these are not just small children, there is food, water, and everything else... "

Finally, the family left for the Ivano-Frankivsk region in the Carpathians, where they spent some time. However, Gorbunov and Osadchaya were among the first to return to Kyiv. When asked if Gorbunov tried to persuade his wife to go abroad with their children, the presenter replied:.

" We didn't argue about anything.. We have all things - we do without collusion and think the same. This is, in my opinion, a very big advantage of a real family.. When we pull the cart in one direction and especially do not argue where to go - to Prague or to Vienna. Of course, for every person who cares about the family, first of all it is the safety of the family.. And then your maximum effort, where you can be needed and help, "

He also shared whether their children returned to Kyiv with Catherine:.

" They come back, then go again. We try. Because we do not have a kindergarten, no circles. When they start to sit on their heads again, then we again. Because, for Ivan, who is almost six years old, communication is, of course, important to him, and at home it can be simply unbearable,"

He also shared that the eldest son of Ekaterina Osadchaya from her first marriage, 19-year-old Ilya, is in the United States. He has been there for two years, since he has been studying: "
