Speaking about the death of two people as a result of a drone strike on a high-rise building in Belogorodka, Kyiv region, the head of state mentioned the rescue of a 4-year-old girl who was in the same apartment with her parents.
“I want to thank Maryan Kushnir, a journalist of Radio Svoboda, a soldier who acted courageously and saved this girl. Much depends on the fact that our people do not lose their courage. The day before, the Russians hit an ordinary civilian train with drones. There were dead, there were wounded. The Ukrainian sergeant, a soldier of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade, Vladyslav Rozhkovskyi, nicknamed Omar, was riding in the train. He was not lost and did everything he could to help others. I want to thank you, Vladislav! Thank you to everyone who is currently doing everything possible and impossible to save as many people as possible, as many lives as possible,” the president said.
