The stores have been closed since last year. Gennadi's wife went to buy groceries in a neighboring village, 20 kilometers away. The man himself was in a wheelchair, so the family could not evacuate sooner. Now that the humanitarian corridor has opened, he and his wife are going to the Krasnodar region.
