In addition, in the Russian Federation he was handed a summons to the military enlistment office. After appeals to the Ukrainian authorities and personally to President Vladimir Zelensky, on the day of his majority, the boy still managed to return home. After the full -scale war, Bogdan remained in Mariupol for about three months. Then the invaders were taken to the Russian Federation.

According to him, classmates treated him badly - they called "Khokhl" and spoke "pour" back. The guy also noted that in the Russian Federation they were shown many propaganda videos, in particular, they said that in Ukraine allegedly handing children to organs.

According to Bogdan, in the Russian Federation he had an "internal struggle with himself", as the Russians set him against their native country. "On the one hand, you understand that you need to talk, and on the other - you realize that you cannot say that. You have a different homeland, and you are waiting for you at home," he explained. The young man mentioned that the Russian Ombudsman Maria Lviv-Bilov "merged" because of his attempts to escape and the desire to return to Ukraine.

Speaking of plans, Bogdan said he wanted to open a charity fund to help with the return of Ukrainian children. We will remind, on November 9, 17-year-old orphan Bogdan Ermokhin appealed to President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky to help him return home.

Before that, he was detained by the Russian special services during an attempt to leave Russia through Belarus, and Russian propagandists then issued a story that he did not want to return to his homeland. Earlier, on November 7, it became known that Bohdan Yermokhin was published in the Russian Federation's army.
