Andrey moved to Israel from Russia around 18 months ago, leaving his parents and a brother in Russia. Andrey lives in Rishon LeZion. He is a graphic designer and a cook, and works in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. In July 2023 Andrey started a relationship with Jennifer, a 32-year-old Israeli woman of Russian descent who works as a flight attendant for El Al.
On Saturday October 7th, Andrey was serving as a security officer at the Nova music festival near Re’im. The last communication anyone had with him was at 9:15 that morning. After that, he was missing for several weeks until the military confirmed he was being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
A couple of days following his abduction to Gaza, Andrey's mother, Yevgeniya, arrived in Israel from Russia. She, along with Jennifer, Andrey's girlfriend, are anxiously waiting for him. The unified message from his loved ones is clear: Andrey must be returned to them, now. Andrey’s loving mother and girlfriend have been actively working together towards his release.
In a heartfelt attempt to reach him, Yevgeniya, Andrey's mother, broadcasted a message on the radio, hoping he would hear it. Speaking in Russian, her words, though not understood by all, touched many deeply. She expressed her profound love for him, saying, "I love you very much, my biggest dream now is to hug you when you are free."

Dear Andrey Kozlov,
We have not forgotten you, your fate, and that of your loved ones and are happy, that you are free. Welcome home! You are forever in our hearts. Israel is not alone. You are not alone. There are also people in Germany who stand behind you and want to encourage you. There is a reason to look forward and keep going. It is a difficult, rocky road back to life, but I am sure it can be done. Whether you are surviving hostages or have lost loved ones, we wish you comfort in your grief. We pray for you.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Warm regards,
Stefan Fröhlich

Welcome home! I'm so happy for you! I was at a rally to support all of the hostages in February and received a card about you. Your picture sat at my Seder and you have been in my heart ever since. Wishing you an easy transition and know I'm still thinking of you!

למשפחה של אנדריי קוזלוב,
שמי כפיר הוניג ואני תלמיד בתיכון בית ירח בכתה י"א 4.
קראתי את השיר לחזור הביתה מאת קרן פלס ואני מביא ממנו את השורה "מכל החושך בעולם, תמיד יהיה לי אור".
המילים האלה גרמו לי גרמו לי לחשוב על כמות התקווה המעטה שבוודאי נשארה לחטופים בעזה, העינוי הבלתי יאומן שהמשפחות שלכן עוברות, בעיקר בגלל חוסר הידע לגבי מצבם ועתידם של יקירכם, אנדריי. המילים של השיר מזכירות לנו שיש אור בקצה המנהרה וכל עוד נשאר נאמנים לעצמנו נוכל לעבור הכל.
חשבתי עליכם ועל מה שעובר עליכם ורציתי שתדעו שאני וכל עם ישראל מאחוריכם בזמנים כאלה, אני רוצה שתדעו שאתם לא לבד, שאתם יכולים לבקש עזרה בכל נושא ואני בטוח שכלל האומה תתמוך בכם.
אני איתכם מרחוק
כפיר
