On 6 December 2022, Ukrainians in Kharkiv paid their final respects to Volodymyr Vakulenko, a children’s writer and laureate of international literary prizes, on his last journey. At the end of autumn, his family members received a confirmation that his body was found in one of the mass burial sites in Izium. The writer Viktoriya Amelina researched the story of Volodymyr.

P.S. Unfortunately, Victoria died under the Russian shelling of Kramatorsk.
