[blue-wave]

Vyacheslav Yalov's mother, Maryna, 37, was killed in the Donbas by Russian shelling as they walked home together. He has now been evacuated to western Ukraine with his two younger brothers and two younger sisters, whom he plans to bring up alone.


The work of Russia's genocidal butcher. When will the Russians wake up?

1. One eighteen-year old takes care of his family

Another guns down innocent people because of hate and whatever.

3. I had the same thought.

Two very different lives and evolutions of their personalities and decency.

I cannot fathom how one can be so weak and filled with blinding hate, and how the other can be so strong and try and move forward from such atrocities.

5. The boy who lives a spoiled, coddled life lashes out and kills. He is evil, and a coward.

The boy who has every reason to lash out and kill others, instead rises to the occasion. He is beyond brave, taking on his young sibs to raise in wartime.

2. Heartbreaking to watch.

4. Is there a goFund me page for this kid? Someone that won't take advantage of them? nt

6. I continue to have the utmost respect and awe of the Ukrainian people.

A remarkable country.

One that Putin is hell bent on destroying.
