The child, who was badly injured, recalled how he and his mother came under a Russian strike in Vinnytsia.
“It was the last time I saw my mother and could say goodbye to her,” he said. At this moment, the interpreter couldn’t hold back her emotions, and a colleague stepped in to help.
Roman Oleksiv spoke in Strasbourg during a presentation of documentary films about Ukrainian children.
