May 17: Alex Dayrabekov, The car in the garage

Thread published by Iryna Matviyishyn on May 15, 2023

On March 6, 2022, Misha put this sheet with the word "CHILDREN" on the windshield.

He wanted to evacuate his family. A convoy of 12 cars set off for Kyiv through Stoyanka.

This convoy was attacked and shot at by the assault units of the Russo-fascists.

As it happened, Misha didn't make it with that convoy. Whether by luck or misfortune.

He returned to the residential complex, parked this car here, where it still stands.

In the evening, he and his family went up to their apartment.

When they were at home, mortar shelling started from the already occupied Bucha.

A shell hit their apartment directly. Misha died quickly. His son Sergiy was seriously injured and died a few hours later.

The car has been here for a year.

With the word "CHILDREN" written on it and deflated tires.

Like a monument to the fallen. The car is here.

The driver has been gone for a long time.

I pass by it every day.

And every day I hate this war and those who started it,"
