They left at the last moment: the story of rescuing the Platov family
The Russians kept shelling the village of Stepove, where 84-year-old Valentin Platov lived with his family among three young children. Later they ran out of food and medicine. The family lived without electricity and gas for a month, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
The grandfather decided to save the family and took her out of the Zaporizhia region in western Ukraine on his own. As it turned out, they managed to leave at the last moment: two days later, an enemy shell destroyed the Platovs’ house.
The family stayed in Ivano-Frankivsk. The Prykarpattya Juvenile Police, knowing the story, handed to the Platov family boxes of provision, baby food, medicines, hygiene products and toys to the Platov family as humanitarian aid.
Earlier Zaborona told the amazing story of rescuing a Ukrainian defender who spent two days with a bullet in his heart making his way through the woods to the nearest village.
