The family of Artem, Lesya and their little daughter Kira miraculously survived and was able to unite again after their car was fired upon near Gostomel. Of the six passengers, only three survived: Lesya and two children. She had a gunshot wound to her hand, and 10-month-old Kira had three fragments in her leg..

" They are shooting at us... ”- the last thing Artyom’s wife had time to say on the phone. A few hours earlier, her husband put Lesya and her tiny daughter in a car with friends in Demidov, Kiev region, so that they would be saved. He himself remained to help with the evacuation of local residents. Then the connection was broken....

The three friends the woman was traveling with died on the spot.. Lesya barely managed to get out of the burning car and get her daughter and 3-year-old son of her friend out of there.. Kira had three metal fragments in her foot, Lesya herself had a broken hand, the boy miraculously did not suffer.

A woman with children was taken in by a family from neighboring Gavrilovka. To the sound of sirens, they spent the whole night in the basement, and in the morning the rescuers took them to Borodyanka, where they provided first aid.

Only 10 days after the shelling, they managed to get to Lviv and seek medical help.. The girl underwent intensive antibacterial treatment, anti-inflammatory therapy, and finally, the doctors stated that the debris does not threaten the life of the child and will not harm the movement of the foot and the growth of the child in the future..



Meanwhile, in the 8th hospital, doctors had to fight to preserve the function of the hand in Les, because all the bones of the hand were broken, and one finger was gone. Hand microsurgery specialists actually refolded woman's fingers. Now she is normal, although there are still a number of surgical interventions to restore the functions of the hand..

But the main thing is that everyone is alive and safe.. And in Lviv, Lesya and her daughter finally met Artem. After the experience, the man thanks God for saving the people closest to him.
