Il 13 aprile a Sumy, una caffetteria si è trasformata in un punto di stabilizzazione e il barista Andrii è diventato un soccorritore

Andrii Shevchenko was working at another nearby location that day. He says he ran over after the second explosion.

“There were already several wounded people sitting outside by the shutters. Inside, a lot of medics were treating people. Our guys were helping carry the injured to the ambulances. We provided what help we could — antiseptics, tourniquets, bandages,” Andrii said.

In one of the coffee shop’s rooms, medical kits still lie on the floor. The semi-basement space, the barista recalls, became a temporary shelter for the wounded and for people who found themselves in danger.

“When people heard ‘more launches, more launches,’ they ran in here — it was only slightly safer, but still safer than outside,” the barista remembers.

The coffee shop was cleaned up, and the next day it reopened to visitors.

“A few of the victims’ belongings were still here — a small purse was left behind, someone’s vest. I’m very grateful to the medics, who stayed calm and collected, unlike us, who were just running around bringing whatever we could. They calmly reassured people, gathered them, and carried them out to the ambulances,” he added.
