Helping the Kharkiv region and clearing rubble in Moshchun and Horenka.

In the spring, Sergii Mirnyi's crew took aid to the Kharkiv region and to refugees in the Poltava region: Oleshky, Novyi Merchyk, Mykolaivka, Potichok.

In the fall we went to Moshchun, a village near Kyiv destroyed in the battles for the capital. Together with Save Ukraine Team we cleared rubble. A volunteer field camp worked there; it was coordinated by Antonina Zakharova, and Ihor Lavreshyn cooked the lunches. For the villagers we collected warm clothes, toys and plastic sheeting to cover broken windows before winter.

We cleared many houses. Owners came up and asked for help, and we did not ask who they were. Only later did it turn out that some of them were people we knew in common.

People came whom no one had called. We photographed one boy with a wheelbarrow full of bricks. "He is as old as the war," Yaroslav Yemelianenko captioned the photo.

Then came Horenka.
