The flaming Donets Basin: rescue story of Lugansk triplets

In the spring of this year, thanks to journalists of the Lugansk region, sudden popularity was gained by three newborn twins — two brothers and sister. They came in the news of the city public because the city authorities ignored the fact of their birth, though the triplets' birth is an extraordinary case for the city.
Some transfers on TV were made about it during which the mayor of Lugansk swore, besides the rendering of the financial support of twins' mother on a constant basis, to resolve an issue of giving the apartment at the expense of city means for a happy family.
However all these promises weren’t fated to come true: the war began. The story of newborn triplets lost the relevance against the grief which fell upon citizens and they got lost in the general tuft of hard times.
But quite recently their destiny absolutely incidentally cleared up. I provide literally the story of one of their relatives.
Hiding from attacks and bombardments of the Ukrainian army, mother and the grandmother together with children lodged in the house of the acquaintances, who earlier left Lugansk. Money ended, there was only the buckwheat from food, there were neither light, nor water, communication for three days. Hungry children constantly cried. The suburb of the city the settlement Vidnoe where they managed to find a roof over the head, appeared near the airport of Lugansk at which the numerous Ukrainian troops sat down and from which territory constantly fired at the city.
Day and night the shells and mines flew over the heads of kids and the air was rended periodically by explosions. Adults already lost any hope to survive and prayed only that if is fated to die that all at once. But the case helped them. Somehow in intervals between attacks the grandmother went outside in search of water source and incidentally saw the group of men in a military uniform on the nearby street.
Female curiosity pushed her to approach them and to take an interest in a city situation. In the course of the struck-up conversation she shared the stalemate: two women remained out-of-pocket existence and hope to survive in this terrible time with three babies. To her surprise, one of the rebels, as it turned out a senior in this group, indignantly declared that it is impossible to treat the destiny of small children so irresponsibly. He gave her two days to gather things and promised that will arrive behind them.
As a result unexpectedly he arrived in two hours and declared that they have only twenty minutes to gather things as now the Ukrainian army strongly bombs the East quarters of Lugansk and according to his data will bomb their settlement today a bit later.
Women didn’t risk to call in question the words of the visitor and having hurriedly abandoned in bags the most necessary and having taken the triplets, plunged into the minibus which specially arrived behind them. The saviour got into the off-road car. The column of two cars started the way. And the situation was critical at that time: the lifeline of LNR Lugansk-Krasnodon was cut with chasteners of Aydar battalion and the paratroopers of the Ukrainian army who seized the villages of Khryashchevatoe and Novoannovka standing on the route and it was impossible safely to leave the city already.
As it became known later, all motor transport following on this highway by Aydar positions those days was destroyed by art fire of the Ukrainian army. But rebels risked to go round positions of the enemy. Ahead, causing fire on itself, the jeep moved and the bus with children and women went at safe distance in a zone of direct visibility. They went some guerrilla tracks where there was no even the hint on the road, periodically getting under attack. Women prayed all the time, without knowing any prayer. They asked God to keep life to innocent kids. And when through an hour and a half they already drove up to border with Russia and were out of danger, their saviour was called and reported that Vidnoe is bombing. It was bombed by three days …
Rebels took adult women with children through border without turn though the column of people cars wishing to leave Ukraine reached ten kilometres, placed them in a camp for refugees. And early in the morning one unexpectedly an unfamiliar man arrived after them and absolutely free of charge brought to Moscow where they were already expected.
«We still won’t understand HOW we made it: took out three children babies from under bombardment!!! God helped us. Let it protect our saviours risking for the sake of us and our children. We will never forget them. It was the act of real men». It is the words of twins' mother told the girlfriend in Moscow.
PS: As heroines of this story got to know, one of LNR leaders was directly involved in a rescue operation.
