For example, for Kateryna from Kyiv, the war turned into personal grief, she lost the man with whom she dreamed of starting a family. She now serves as a paramedic in the military: “My war began after the death of several acquaintances. It was filled with new meaning when my beloved died on March 5 in an attempt to liberate Mariupol. He was killed by the Russians, but before that he managed to line up the tank. “
Julia from Irpen got out of real hell. He says that the occupiers killed all the men first, and then took over the teachers and educators of the kindergartens. They had lists of names of people, hunted intellectuals, and raped girls: “Through rape, these soldiers want to demonstrate their power. Military rapes are often public. Like the 11-year-old boy who was raped in front of his mother. This is often a group abuse that lasts several times. ”.
