Oksana Kovtun, 39, shared with The Post how she’s helped refugees and soldiers in the year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
… we decided to use this “rule of two walls” — occupying a space in a building where two walls will separate you from an explosion outside.
Maybe two weeks from the beginning of the war, the refugees from other regions started coming here. One of my friends at the university told me, “Children who are refugees asked for help. Can we organize something for them?” We bought diapers and children’s food. I wrote on Facebook to my friends. One of my neighbors is a fruit seller so he helped.
I remember the van came with some humanitarian aid, and we were offloading it. And there was this missile alert, and very, very loud, booming. We heard it, just picked our head up, it’s not here, and we went on working. In my city, there is a very big hospital [where] the soldiers are treated, cured, so our doctors are performing very complicated surgeries. Now I can see a lot of wounded soldiers on the streets without legs, without arms.
