According to the Head of the Presidential Office, the teenager was forced to study under the Russian curriculum, and for the slightest manifestation of Ukrainian identity, he was threatened with a "basement". At school, propaganda was imposed, and on the streets, there were only Russian flags and calls to join the occupiers' army. He tried to escape many times, but all attempts ended in failure.

Thanks to the efforts of the Ukrainian Child Rights Network, a safe route was developed and his departure was organized. The teenager had to leave on his own, leaving his mother, who has not yet been able to leave. Today, he is already with his father, on free Ukrainian land, receiving the necessary help and preparing to start a new life without fear.
