Vladimir Sagaidak is doing his best to make the 50 children at an orphanage in Kherson feel safe as Russia continues to attack Ukraine.
The video call goes in and out, but what is clear is that an orphanage in one of the most besieged cities in Ukraine — Kherson — is doing its best to make the children feel safe. All 50 of them. They range in age from 3 to 17 years old.
"They are afraid of war, but they're happy when they are with my father and his colleagues. They are always happy," Fateeva said.And to prevent light through the windows from attracting the attention of Russian soldiers. "Yes, of course. All our country is in danger," Sagaidak said through his daughter's translation."We can't do anything because we are circled by Russian soldiers. We are just blocked and always bombed."
Earlier this week, Russia claimed to have taken control of Kherson. However, Ukrainian officials have pushed back on those claims, saying that some parts of the city remain under their control."There are a lot of military Russian machines and two or three kilometers there are rockets," Sagaidak said."Because the rest couldn't get to work because of army, war," Sagaidak said.
