Ukraine: Violence against civilians in Kiev

In the summer of 2023, reconnaissance Defender Volodymyr Ovsiannikov came under Russian fire and suffered severe injuries. He lost an arm, a leg, and an eye, and underwent 48 surgeries. His Mom, Mrs Vira, has stayed by his side, caring for him and supporting him. “She gave birth to me, taught me how to walk, and raised me. And then she had to teach me to walk all over again,” Volodymyr says. Mrs Vira shares that Volodymyr often felt insecure and depressed, and she had to find the words to help him get through this. Russia's war has brought so much grief to Ukrainian moms. 📹️️️️️️: Radio Liberty
