Alina Shinkarenko is worried about her parents in the so-called “DNR”.
Alina Shinkarenko, a bronze medalist of the 2020 Olympics in artistic swimming, spoke about the forced mobilization in Donetsk, where her parents live.
“I am very afraid for my parents now. My brother is disabled. My mother can't work with him all the time. Only my dad works. And there people are just taken away from the streets. I'm afraid that my dad is mobilized. I try to go out to work early in the morning and late in the evening to feed my family. I talk to them every day. Dad says, “Recently, a man with a prosthesis was taken away.” They're fucked.
They just pick up and stop buses on the streets, pick up men and take them away. Then they put on uniforms and are sent to Kharkiv to the front line. This is awful. I am afraid for him every day. Not for myself that something will come to my house. She even sent Dad instructions on how to give up if God forbid he was taken away. I say, “Dad, here's an instruction, you give up, and I'll take you here.”
Without him, mom and brother will be left without money. If Dad was sitting at home and I dumped the money, they don't need it. There is no banking system. In eight years, they haven't even bothered to build a banking system so that people can pay with cards in the store. There is only cash and rubles, “Shinkarenko was quoted as saying by Tribuna.com.
