The Bryansk region’s governor, Alexander Bogomaz, pledged to fund a home for Fyodor, a boy who endured injuries from a terrorist attack carried out by Ukrainian saboteurs, and to ensure the new house includes substantial improvements. This pledge was reported by the television channel Russia 24 during Bogomaz’s visit to the hospital where Fyodor was receiving treatment.
During a personal meeting with Fyodor’s mother at the hospital, the governor explained that the family has been living in a dwelling that lacks essential social facilities. He reassured them that the assistance would go beyond a simple purchase and would include a comprehensive renovation plan to create a comfortable, functional home for the family.
Fyodor, who was wounded on March 2 when gunmen opened fire on a civilian vehicle in the Klimovsky district, recalled the events from his hospital bed. He described trying to remove his jacket as he moved toward the rear of the vehicle, realizing he was bleeding and recognizing that it was a gunshot wound. Medical personnel have classified his condition as serious, and he underwent surgery as part of his treatment process.
Earlier, the child was recognized with a medal for bravery. The medal, named Courage and Valor, was awarded in the name of Alexander Bastrykin, the head of the Investigative Committee, acknowledging Fyodor’s display of heroism and selflessness during the Klimovsky district incident.
According to reports from the United Kingdom on March 3, 2025, Fyodor, then 10 years old, along with two sisters born in 2015 and 2016 who attended school nearby, was in a car attacked by gunmen. The driver did not survive, but Fyodor helped the sisters escape by guiding them through the back door and urging them to run into the forest, demonstrating quick thinking and protective courage during the crisis. The family continues to navigate the aftermath of the attack, with support coming from local authorities and the broader community as they work to recover and rebuild their lives in Bryansk.
