Hot tears

Pavlo, 18 years of age, from Pavlohrad [Dnipropetrovsk region]. A student volunteer [soldier]. From a battalion [deployed] in Pisky, Ukraine.

He was delivered to Mechnikov [clinical hospital] with a penetrating craniocerebral trauma, a brain contusion, a scalped head wound, and a damaged thorax.

[His] father and brother are by his side.

Before the surgery, Pavlo was searching for his mom with his eyes.

They’re in a hurry to live, but in their souls they remain children.

P.S.: [Medical professionals] managed to stabilize Pavlo’s condition, however he is a long way from full recovery.
