“Iuliia, born and raised in the Mykolaiv Region, moved to the Moscow suburbs as a teenager. In Russia, she married and had children. After February 24, 2022, she wanted to leave Russia immediately, but her family was not prepared for emigration. Her parents were living in Mykolaiv during the Russian invasion. Iuliia’s grandmother was under occupation in the Mykolaiv Region near Kherson. Shortly after mobilization was announced, Yulia found a conscription notice in her mailbox, prompting the family to leave hastily for Kazakhstan. In Astana, Iuliia became a volunteer for the Angels of Freedom charity fund.”
