Kinburn Spit (Кінбурнська коса), Southern Ukraine

[snovyda]

According to the latest reports, this place pretty much no longer exists. Russians have burned everything to the ground. 8 thousand hectares of forests, swamps and steppes fully burned, with no living thing surviving.

The total area of the resort is 12 thousand hectares.

These photos are about two different worlds.

The first shot shows a volunteer helping to exhume dozens of bodies from a mass grave in Bucha. All the horror is visible on his face.

On the second - T-shirts sold in Russia, with the inscription "Massacre in Bucha. We can repeat that."

There was a beautiful forest, now there are graves and sorrow. This is what the ruzzian world brings to Ukraine.

Elderly Ukrainian woman says she was raped after Russians took her village: "I wish he had killed me instead of what he did"

The woman said she believes her attacker was from Ukraine's far east, a region controlled by Russian-backed separatists.

Heartbreaking. 

“Раніше я радувалась весні”…

“Before I felt joy with the spring, now I don’t feel anything.” 

I can’t even imagine experiencing such horror in the last years of life.

Although my grandma is safe and didn’t endure anything like this, but this woman reminded me of her words. Couple of days ago, when my grandma evacuated from her town and arrived here, she told me: “They stole our springtime.“  She said that her garden will be beautiful very soon, "so many flowers will bloom”, but they stole it from her.

"Ukrainians were dying in 1932-33 (from hunger, in Holodomor), while Europe was buying grain, which Russia took away from Ukrainian farmers. Ukrainians are dying in 2022 at the hands of Russian soldiers, while Europe is buying energy sources from Russia."
