My son Maxim is disabled. He had an accident. He dived once on an unfamiliar beach - as a result of this he got a fracture of the cervical vertebra. Doctors were fighting for his life for a few weeks, but after the injury he lost control of his arms and legs. The son hoped that at the age of 37 he would help us, but it turned out the other way around.

Especially frightening is his helplessness during the shelling. In our neighborhood, ten houses away, a shell hit, it killed four people.
