In June 2025, #Save_Ukraine helped evacuate them to #Ukrainian-controlled territory. At first, #Solomiia did not recognize her mom, but then she hugged her tightly.

"The girl I remember before the war and the one I see now - well, they feel like two different people. Before the war, she was a happy, curious, active child. Now she’s more guarded. #Solomiia can’t explain her wishes and desires. I’m learning from my mom how to understand my daughter," #Marichka shared.

Nine-year-old #Solomiia finally hugged her mom, #Marichka, for the first time in three years. She had last seen #Marichka in January 2022. #Solomiia spent over three years living under #Russian occupation in southern #Ukraine with her grandma, whom she calls #Bunia.

#Solomiia's grandma hid her from #Russian soldiers to prevent her deportation. She even obtained a #Russian passport and spoke #Russian. But at home, #Bunia secretly taught her granddaughter #Ukrainian.

In June 2025, #Save_Ukraine helped return #Solomiya to the territory controlled by #Ukraine. At first, the girl did not recognize her mother, but then hugged her tightly.

"The girl I remember before the war and the one I see now — well, they seem like two different people. Before the war, she was a happy, curious, active child. Now she is more reserved," said the girl's mother, #Marichka.

Now #Solomiya goes back to school and is gradually recovering from what she experienced.
