Stepan's family posted on Instagram, "We spent two nights in the basement without electricity for a week." To charge the phone, they had to travel to the adjoining basement. Volunteers from Kharkiv assisted by driving them to the train station. Then they continued to the Polish border and waited in line at a pedestrian crossing the border. They safely crossed the border after nine hours.

Unfortunately, Stepan and his family had to leave since the battle had come to their doorstep. They could never leave Stepan behind, even though finding shelter with a cat must have been challenging. Luckily, the family is currently residing in France and awaiting the day they can travel back to Ukraine.
