“When I learned that our army had liberated Izjum, I sought information about the soldiers’ recovered bodies. On Friday, I recognized my husband in the published photo of the exhumed body. I felt horrible and couldn’t hide it from my kids. My older son Marat, who is 14 years old, saw what is happening to me. That’s why he decided to write a letter to the President. I hope the President receives him and he’ll know how proud Marat is of his father and that he wants everyone to be proud. Marat is still a teenager, but he was raised by his father, so he acts like an adult.

The pain of my husband’s death will haunt me for life but I’m the wife of a soldier. Since 2014 he taught me to be strong to meet the challenges of life. I knew I could call him anytime with any problem even if he was hundreds of miles away. He has always been the most important thing to us and the kids. I still want to call him so bad but i have nowhere to go. “

Honor the memory of the heroes of Ukrain
