Valery left Oleshki in April 2022. He didn't know until the last if his own brother left during the humanitarian mission. But soon they met and hugged tightly. "I left Olshki on April 7, 2022. I left, my wife, daughter and son. We had nothing with us. We only took the documents. Everything was left at home when we left. The last contact with my brother was in 2023, three years ago," he shared. On October 31, a humanitarian operation was held to save people from Olshki. Citizens crossed the Ukrainian border in Chernihiv district.
