Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov spoke about the first results of the work of the Fund for Assistance to Wounded Children, the opening of which he объявил In April. Rehabilitation of 25 children was paid for.

"For example, little Liza. A story that shook not only the entire Belgorod region but the entire country. Her mother shielded her two daughters with her own body. To her great sorrow, she herself died. Liza was seriously injured. She will soon be traveling to Crimea with her uncle, who is her guardian. There are many such examples," рассказал Gladkov. Liza, a girl, lost her leg during the shelling of Belgorod on December 30, 2023. The child was only eight months old.

Gladkov recalled that the fund was created to provide additional assistance to children who "suffered horrific injuries" during the shelling. After all, "there is what is needed" for recovery, but "it's not covered by the compulsory medical insurance policy." According to the governor, assistance is provided by Belgorod businesses and even other regions. He previously called on all "concerned residents of our region and country" to contribute to the rehabilitation of injured children, as families cannot afford what "goes beyond the capabilities of state healthcare."
