Businessman Mikhail Puryshev from Mariupol volunteered when the city was under siege. First, he brought insulin and food to Mariupol, and then he began to take people out of there.
During March, Mikhail made six trips to the city, fighting his way through checkpoints and risking running into a mine. During this time, the volunteer managed to transport more than 200 people to Zaporozhye.
The minibus for trips was bought in a clubbing. Once the car came under fire, the windows and the side door were shattered in it.
After the war, Mikhail plans to make a monument in Mariupol out of a minibus.
