Pictures were drawn, greetings were conveyed to Okhtyrka!

On February 24, the city of Okhtyrka, in the Sumy Oblast, became almost the first large settlement in Ukraine, where the Russian invaders entered with tanks and other armored vehicles.

The shelling of a military unit, where at least 70 soldiers died, three vacuum bombs, the destruction of a thermal power plant, shelling by missiles and aircraft, bombing and terrible destruction, wiping the streets from the face of the earth - this is how Okhtyrka took the blow of the Russians and, thanks to the titanic efforts of the Ukrainian defenders, survived . The invaders did not take the city and did not pass through it further!

Our Serhiy Bobokalo has brothers in the Okhtyr military unit, in particular Mr. Oleg Mykolayovych. Therefore, from time to time our Rotary HUB supports the morale of the Sumy Cossacks. For example, pictures. This particular patriotic sketch was made by the daughter and wife of our Serhiy.

A child is not a soldier, he does not defend his Motherland, although he suffers with it. In the eyes of children, war always looks the same. Regardless of place and time. Children draw tanks, planes dropping bombs, fires and explosions. They draw the wounded and killed, destroyed houses, graves. They draw themselves and their family, draw evacuation and escape.

But they also draw a yellow-blue heart and their dreams of a peaceful future, the sky and a field of ears of corn, sunflowers and a cherry orchard around the house, they draw what Ukraine will be all about!
