I have to help people out there with some of the things I'm going to gain here. They are in very bad shape, our minds are there. I'm talking to the people in Ukraine, Russia drops bombs every day, it's very bad right now” said Mykhaylo Kononenko, who noted that he had difficulty in training in the first weeks of the war that Russia launched against Ukraine.

“TWO BOMBS FELL NEAR MY HOUSE”

“It took a long time to bring my family from Ukraine to Turkey. My wife was staying in Kyiv with my 2 children. They set out at 4 am, but the sirens did not stop. Within 24 hours, 2 bombs fell near my house. My wife and children stayed in the car park under the house for 1 day. They were bombing roads and bridges in Kyiv when I called the next day. At 22:00, my wife took the children and set off from Kyiv to Lviv by car. He was able to enter Romania in 2 days” said Mykhaylo Kononenko, stating that his family has been in Turkey for 2 months and his mother is staying in Ukraine.
