"People escaped from the Grad in the school basement»"

We live in Svitlodarsk. There are almost 11,000 residents there. We can't even sleep these days because of the shelling. Not everyone has restored the damaged housing. Many people do not have enough money even for food.

I personally built this City Infectious Diseases Hospital with my own hands 40 years ago, brick by brick. Now it is destroyed. There is nothing to restore. Only ruins remained.

The hospital was hit by a Grad launcher in 2014. People flew to the school basement nearby. It was completely overcrowded.

Now children are engaged here, since I conduct powerlifting classes. You know, sports have helped save a lot of lives.
