- says Anastasia's grandmother.

About the family's life

Tatiana, Anastasia's grandmother, notes that Anastasia's son attended a volunteer kindergarten in Kharkiv. The last time she saw Maxim was before the family left for Poland.

“She was so bright, so correct. Maxim is a smart boy. She loved him so much, she gave birth at 19, took great care of him. They lived in Timofiy's grandmother's apartment,”

- adds the grandmother.

The boy's stepfather, Timofiy, survived as he was not at home during the shelling.
