Additional Information / Shotlist Sasha:
I'm an experienced IDP [Internally Displaced Person] let’s say!

ON-SCREEN TEXT:
Dr Sasha Sholokov has worked with MSF since 2017.

He fled his home in Mariupol in February.

After making sure his family was safe, he returned with MSF to eastern Ukraine.

He continues to help people like him who have found safety in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia.

Sasha:
I remember this day…I remember 24th of February. Maybe I'll keep these pictures in my mind forever.
I woke up at 6:30 because my house started to shake due to the shelling.
I realised that I’ll not wait and I have to move right now. I took my wife, my son.
My family had to move abroad. It was difficult because my wife she doesn't want to leave me alone. But just because we have a two year old child, I told her it will be better if you take care of him and yourself. And I’ll try to manage here in Ukraine.
Now I have no options to go back [to Mariupol]. My house was destroyed on 28th of February… my flat. Now I have to create my new life. I have to think for what I will give for my son, for the future. But I think everything will be good.
