A Ukrainian family now living in B.C. has learned that they have lost everything they left behind in their home country.
”I froze when I learned my house got damaged, severely destroyed and my neighbour’s,” Marko Zolotarov told Global News. “I just got frozen in shock, thinking this is unreal.”
“There was (a) time when people lost their house because of occupation and I was in some way preparing myself that it can happen with me as well.”
It is believed a Russian bomb targeting a hospital in Zaporizhzhia incinerated several homes in Zolotarov ‘s old neighbourhood, killing a 17-year-old boy.
“I was 17-years-old when I came to Canada around that time and he is gone now,” Zolotarov said.
His neighbour, Yaroslav Hndeko, was outside in the garden when he said he heard the missile. As trained, he dropped to the ground.
His wife Olha and their kids were inside the home at the time.
“She says in one second the force pushed windows and panelling in and out of the house like a vacuum,” Olha Hndeko said.
