Mykola Kuleba said that they managed to take out of the occupation an 8-year-old girl and a boy who have been taken care of by his grandmother for seven years.
According to him, his grandmother decided to leave permanently when a shell hit their yard at half past six in the morning. The shock wave destroyed part of the house.
It was very difficult for the family to leave the occupation. At the border, the Russian special services arranged a real mockery for an elderly woman and an orphan boy - they gutted all their belongings and threw everything out of their bags. There was no reason for this. During the difficult journey, the woman began to have problems with her legs.
"As of today, we have already rescued 284 children, 73 of whom are orphans," Kuleba said.
