Jeaneth Mendoza, mother of Diego Moncayo, the Ecuadorian student who is trapped in a city near the Russian border, cried out again this Friday for the attention of the Government to rescue her son.
This Friday arrived before noon a chartered aircraft with 248 Ecuadorians who were part of the first humanitarian flight after his flight after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“My son has experienced strong things, a bombing where he was miraculously saved. He was already saved once, God was with him because he was in the crossfire in a town called Sumy. He is alone, sheltered in a house of a Ukrainian friend, with no way out”, warned this mother whose son went astray in his attempt to escape from the Russian invasion of the Ukrainian capital.
Mendoza said she was “desperate” because after the “light” they saw with the announcement of the humanitarian corridor for the exit of civilians, she has had no response from the authorities to get her son out.
“Diego cannot go out alone. He is 16 hours from the border by car, walking it will be a week, ten days ”, scored when asking for help.
“Please, do not leave us alone, the foreign minister has said that no Ecuadorian is going to stay,” he said through tears in a heartbreaking audio to which Efe had access.
Stuck on the Russian border
My son tells me a horror story, from a movie, about what he had to live in Sumy. Thanks to a Ukrainian companion he managed to save his life”.
Mendoza, with a lump in his throat, asks for support for his son, who has been trapped in the Ukraine.
Through a WhatsApp audio, this mother said on March 1, 2022 that “when the event (Russian advanced) occurred, my son Diego left Kiev by train with two Ukrainian girls and a boy.”
They arrived in Sumy at 01:30 without knowing what to do and took refuge in a school. At dawn he got on the train but did not know where he was going. He got further away from the goal, which was to get out of Ukraine and into Poland, and now he is closer to Russia.”
“I don’t know if it was a mistake or not, but I had to leave because they were bombing Kiev.”
An Ecuadorian in the midst of war
The situation is very hard for Diego and his family “My son told me that the Russians took that city. He lived through a combat, he tells me stories taken from nightmares, from horror movies.
He saw how the Russians arrived in three trucks and killed women, children. He saw people die in that city. Then the Ukrainian army arrived and they were able to leave on a humanitarian bus, ”she narrated through tears for the audio.
Getting on the bus was another obstacle, as they did not allow men to board. Finally, the young Ukrainian intervened and they managed to climb the 4 and reached Shostka.
“My son, none, was not prepared for this. He is strong and he stands. We have decided that my son stays there, in the house of one of the Ukrainian women who has given him refuge.”
Obviously, as a mother, you do not want to expose your child to another risk.
The young man, who studies philology, is 13 hours from the border. I think he should go around the Ukraine and it is very risky, added Jeaneth Mendoza
Diego’s mother revealed that on Wednesday, March 2, they told her from the Foreign Ministry that “they are waiting for the order of a vehicle to be removed and that they are in conversation with other countries.” (I)
