Teen Girl Honored for Saving Toddler from Dangerous Fall
A 15-year-old girl has been honoured for her quick thinking after saving a young child from a dangerous fall. Kristina Kukhar received a commemorative medal for her bravery during a ceremony attended by local officials and a Russian senator. The incident took place when a four-year-old boy climbed onto a narrow ledge between the second and third floors of a residential building. Kristina Kukhar spotted the danger and immediately called emergency services. While waiting for rescuers, she kept the child calm and distracted to prevent any sudden movements. The medal acknowledges Kukhar’s decisive response in a critical moment. Her actions ensured the child’s safety until professional help arrived. The award highlights the ongoing efforts of the Heroic Children initiative to recognise young people for acts of bravery.
