WHAT HAPPENED

The village of Mala Oleksandrivka was under occupation from March, 2022 to October, 2022 (7 months). The Adamenkos family moved to Kryvyi Rih on April 5, 2022, after interrogation by the russian Federal Security Service on April 1, 2022. It is worthy of note that Oleksandr and his son have been engaged in volunteering activity since 2014, which was the reason to be arrested.

During the occupation, russians stole GAS SAZ, seeders, spare parts for CLAAS LEXION 600 combine harvesters (approximately on $ 81000), engines on combine harvesters, monitors, modules, all electronics, fertilizers, mobile gas station, gasoline generator, 96 solar batteries, all household appliances and many other things. Moreover, russians damaged 2 CLAAS LEXION 600 combine harvesters, GAZ 53, MTZ 1221 tractor, and 3 solar stations. The house was left without windows and doors and the roof was damaged. The warehouse (1000 m²) burned together with the 2021 yield (55 tons of sunflower seeds and 56 tons of flax seeds). To buy necessary equipment and spare parts to start working, they have already spent $23 000.

The family came back home immediately after the liberation of the village (October 5, 2022). They reconstructed the building where their workers lived before the war, bought the boiler for heating and repaired water supply as everything was looted. Their own house is not suitable for living.

During the winter, Oleksandr and his son demined their farmlands by themselves. In the spring, the fields were also cultivated by their own efforts; They planted flax (seeds that did not burn) and sunflower (seeds were got through the help program).
