- I got it. What is your name? - Whose? - Yours. - Nikolay. - And you? - Leonid. - I'm Patrick. Nive to meet you, thank you.
- We are journalists. We have heard that today was an income and a child was wounded, right? - repeat, please.
- A child was injured here.. - Yes. - How did it happen? And when did it happen? Can you tell us?
- It was at 12:00. The father arrived from a hostipal himself and boy went out to help, he said that "Papa is from the hospital, I'll go and help him".
So he went out to open the fence. Father was riding inside, the car was hit.. The son.. not the son, he is my grandson, falls here.
He got wounded in the leg and also the ear was injured. - And how is he? Is he going to be okay or is it hard to tell?
- I don't know. The ambulance arrived. The was a lot of blood. The wound was deep. Very deep. The guy is only 12 years old.
- Oh, 12 not 13, right? - Yes, 12, in March he turned 12. - I get it. - And who are you, can I ask you that? - I'm American correspondent. I've lived in Donetsk for 8 years now. - I get it. I'm very glad. I'm not glad that your people send weapons here.
But I still have many friends living in America. One is also working at a hospital and the other in a subway in New York. But any way,
I'm for the good American people. But you supply the weapona and see what is happening. We are suffering for 8 years. 8 years!
- Because of Ukrainains, yes? - Yes. For 8 years we are suffering. Those supply weapons, and they surrounded us us with it and shell.
They shell all the time. And now when they started.. when we were recognised as Donetsk People's Republic,
and Russia came here with the war, it became even worse. - What do you think, why do Ukrainians are shelling civilians? Why?
I have no idea why it happen. Why the Ukrainians.. how did he say? - Why do they shell this village? - Yes. - And the Donetsk in general, the civilian people. Why do they fire?
- I don't know. We are not militants. We have no military here, no one is fighting anywhere, nothing is being done wrong.
In Cherkassy, which is 180 km from Kiev, I have family living there. So me myself, I'm from there, from the central Ukraine.
But life got me here. Very long time ago. In 1955. So I stayed here. My son was born here, my grandchildren were born here.
This is how it happened. But back then the lif was different, the time was different. There was no difference, there was Ukraine there and here.
There was no difference in it. But now they are fighting, as you see. But I don't know. - This video would be translated into English. You can address the leaders of Western countries. What would you like to tell them?
Be friends with each other, don't fight. Let's live together as friends. There is one cartton where the cat was always saying that.
"Guys, let's live together as friends". That's what I'll say. Guys, let's live together as friends. the life is short. The life is given as from above not for long.
And we are fighting each other like that. Why? For what? I don;t mind the friendship between the nations. I don't care who you are.
American, British, I don't care. Be a human. A kind and normal one. That is the most important.
- Thank you very much. We hope that everything would be okay with the grandson. - Yes, I also really hope so. but right now I was crying and praying to god, because I'm so sorry for the grandson.
As he is just a grandson, he is 12 years old. He was running he so glad to meet his dad. But he was wounded. Did you see a hile there?
- Yes, and shrapenels. And the gaspipe was broken, though I didn't see anyone arriving to check it. And the car..
And the son was riding in, the car got damaged. Here are also some shrapanels nearby. Some holes are seen. There are 18 holes here,
- Can I come in? - Yes.
Did you understand what I said?
- And where was the grandson? - He was standing where you stand now. He was going to close the fence.
