Russian strike damages apartment of Azov fighter Dmytro Kanuper's mother and grandmother in Kyiv

As a result of a Russian strike on the Solomianskyi district of Kyiv, an apartment where the mother and grandmother of Mariupol defender Dmytro "Rasti" Kanuper live was damaged. The women survived, but their home sustained significant damage.

Incident details and relatives' condition

According to the fighter himself, his family lived in a five-storey building that came under fire. Inside the apartment, belongings were smashed, and all windows were blown out. Kanuper shared details of what happened on social media.

«О 2-й ночі я одразу поїхав з лікарні до будинку своєї матері, вона проживає в маленькій квартирі разом з моєю бабусею, яка паралізована і прикута до ліжка. Квартира розгромлена, жодного вікна, мама у шоковому стані… Замість лікування я зараз розгрібаю квартиру і буду шукати можливості для її відновлення та пошуку житла для своєї мами, паралізованої бабусі та собаки. Комбо, з яким я навряд знайду, де їм жити» (At 2 a.m., I immediately left the hospital and went to my mother's house. She lives in a small apartment with my grandmother, who is paralysed and bedridden. The apartment is wrecked, not a single window remains, and my mother is in shock... Instead of treatment, I am now clearing out the apartment and will be looking for ways to restore it and find housing for my mother, my paralysed grandmother, and the dog. It is a combination for which I doubt I will find a place for them to live), Kanuper wrote.

Military path and captivity

Dmytro Kanuper joined the Azov regiment in 2020. After the start of the Russian Federation's full-scale invasion, he actively participated in the defence of Mariupol, where he was captured by the Russians. During his two and a half years of captivity, the defender was held in five different places of detention.

In October 2024, Dmytro was released during a prisoner of war exchange. After returning to freedom, he resumed service, joining the Azov brigade reconnaissance unit.
