The coach from Donetsk, Artiom Driga, fled from the war and found a new home in Balti. Here, he continued his sports activity and now trains kickboxing champions.
He says that in Ukraine, it became too dangerous to stay together with the children, and his home is where his family is. Here, he was offered a gym, a house, and support.
Back in his hometown, nothing remained. His house has long been destroyed, his native city was occupied by Russian troops, and the only connection he still has with that place is his mother, whom he managed to visit.
