A Boy’s Life on theFront Lines In a Ukrainian town, an 11-year-old navigates a childhood transformed by war.
He lived with his mother, Lena, and his 23-year-old half sister, Angelina, in a borrowed one-story home about four miles from Russian positions to the east.
“I remember how I used to have fun here with my friends,” Yegor said.
Now only his father, Sasha, remained there, trapped behind Russian lines caring for the home and animals on the road out of Mariupol.
But the war had forced Yegor into a sedentary life, almost always behind closed doors.
