TNMU Volunteer Centre Received Humanitarian Aid from a Ukrainian Refugee

This week, Olha Tedeieva, a refugee who moved to Ternopil from Enerhodar in the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, handed over medicines and medical products to the TNMU Volunteer Centre. The woman received them from her friend from abroad and decided to give them to those who will need these medicines the most. She also brought energy bars for our defenders.

Olha Tedeieva is one of those who managed to leave Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia region, in the first days of the occupation. She has been in our city for several months with her two daughters, Marta and Veronika, and her mother, Anna.

“When I arrived in the Ternopil region, my spirit was terrible. The week in occupation broke me. It seemed that I got into a parallel reality – Ternopil is calm, the shops have everything, people live and work. Meanwhile, in Enerhodar, the Rashists are killing Ukrainians, intimidating them, imposing a “Russian world”. I stayed in the occupation for a week, but it seemed that I would never return to the psychological condition I was in before the war. Recently, my friend managed to leave Enerhodar. She stayed in the occupation for more than 100 days. In Ternopil, I brought her to her senses,” the woman said.

Olha had a private kindergarten in Enerhodar. After moving to Ternopil, she immediately started looking for work in this direction. “Once I went into the children’s room on the Soniachnyi district. Children’s birthdays were celebrated there. I offered to organize a summer camp. We talked with the owners and reached an agreement. Now there is a children’s camp in this neighbourhood,”  Ms. Olha added.
