My son's last words to me: 'I will come to you when they stop fighting'

Newshour

Available for over a year

Anna Yakhno's four-year-old son - Sasha - died with his grandmother, when they tried to escape from a Russian-occupied area of northern Ukraine in March. The small boat they'd boarded to cross the Dnieper river capsized. Sasha鈥檚 grandmother, Zoya, was found dead the next day; Sasha鈥檚 body was eventually found twenty six days later. One year on from Russia鈥檚 invasion, Anna shares her memories of him with Newshour's James Coomarasamy. (Picture: Anna with her son, 4 year old Sasha Credit: 91福利社)
