During the long months of Russian occupation in Izium, up to sixty people lived in Andriy Pleshan’s cellar. Among them was Nyka, a baby of just two months old at the time whose clothes remain in the basement. “The parents were feeding her baby formula instead of milk,” says Pleshan, who recalls searches carried out by occupying soldiers. “They were looking for bruises on the shoulder, because if you shoot a gun you have that sort of mark”.
