“My poor girl, with my ex-husband, walked all the way from Tavriisk to Zaporizhzhia by foot, which is around 200 km. After that, they got into a gray zone with no connection. I was going insane, and didn’t know what to do.”Most of Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, which includes the nuclear reactor at Enerhodar at the center of nuclear meltdown fears, was occupied by the Russians when they swept in from Crimea in the early days of the invasion.
“Eventually, a big guy came in, he had huge forearms, bald, and looked like Jason Statham or someone. He looked like this was going to be the guy who would kick the shit out of me, or who would stick a knife in my head,” he said. “As soon as I picked up the girl, we saw Russian mortar fire starting to fall around us. We were the only vehicle for miles around, so they must have been shooting at us! I drove through no-man’s-land like a maniac for 10 minutes, and then drove all the way to the Polish border to hand her to her mother.”“When I said I was going to go down and get a 6-year-old girl, I was, I didn’t really think about my own personal safety anymore.
“Paul is Katya’s Superman now. She tells me how he picked her in a car with all of those missiles landing around and saved her. Katya calls him ‘Superman’ every time we mention him. I wish there were more people like him in the world,” Julia said.The Canadian farmer, meanwhile, is getting constant updates about the Ukrainian family’s new life in the Netherlands.
