Three years ago, early in the morning, we woke up from explosions - russia started the war by shelling our sleeping houses.
I rarely write about war here because it's my place to relax, to enjoy movies like everyone else, to get involved in fandoms and connect with people, because it's one of the things that keeps me going.
I used to watch movies about the Second World War, read books, and an image froze in my head, that war means burning buildings and dead bodies in the streets among the rubble. And in many of our cities everything was exactly like this. The Russians, who call themselves “liberators,” came and turned into ruins the cities that they could not capture. All war crimes, all abominations and meanness, have been committed and are being committed now. They mock all the rules, torture prisoners of war, torture civilian Ukrainians in the occupied territories.
It is a confirmed fact that they stole tens of thousands of our children, changed their names and are now intensively pushing pro-russian propaganda into them. An abomination. Many of the russian army are criminals convicted of murder, pedophilia and rape, who have been promised release. What do you think these monsters are doing when they capture our people?
I want to say that the UN is nothing, a bunch of mongrels.
The international Red Cross comes to the camps to check whether all the wishes of the occupiers are fulfilled, whether they like salads or need more variety in food. But russia gave them money and agreed that they would not worry about the fate of Ukrainian prisoners of war and the Red Cross now serves the occupiers. The bodies of our people are returned with signs of torture and those who died from injuries, hunger and cardiac arrest from pain.
Surviving prisoners of war tell the details. Everything you imagined about Medieval torture is nothing compared to what the russian orcs are doing to our people. This is so monstrous that the brain displays a 404 error and it seems that humanity, which gave birth to such executioners, cannot exist.
And now, when we have been holding on to the door like Hodor for three years, not letting the hordes of these abnormal people into our land, one overcooked broiler rooster tells us not to offend putin, because he spent so much effort and resources to kill us and wipe our cities into dust. trump tells us to encourage this under-hitler and give him our lands so that he can gain strength and return to fight the war in three years. russians always do this - they sign peace treaties and break them. Just a toilet paper.
For his “help,” trump wanted 500 billion dollars worth of our mineral resources, although over all these years the United States gave us barely 100. At the same time, for this he does not give any security guarantees, he just wants 500 billion for himself and to give the russians those of our lands that they occupied and a couple of years of respite so that the russians could gain strength, trump - to empty our mines and then again the war, which after Ukraine is certainly moving deep into Europe.
A negotiator sent by God... straight to hell.
Ukraine, Great Britain, USA and russia signed an agreement - Ukraine gave away billions of dollars worth of nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees of the inviolability of territories, because we are a peaceful country, but, as always, only Great Britain remembers this.
I live in Odesa - it is a beautiful seaside city with a beautiful old center built by Italian architects. I love my city so much, and when russian missiles destroy houses in it, including those about which UNESCO expresses “deep concern,” it hurts, as if my childhood home had been bombed. And this is also true - after all, I have lived here all my life, I walk these streets, I am familiar with these houses.
At the beginning of January, my child and I were at the anime festival at the Philharmonic. At the end of January, a rocket hit a beautiful building nearby Hotel Bristol, and the explosion also damaged the Philharmonic. I never thought that I would feel the pain of my city being wounded.
My child is growing up in war conditions. I will never forget how in the spring of 2022 we had to hide in the corridor. This measure only saves from glass fragments if an explosion is nearby, but these russian orcs fire missiles that cut off part of a 9-story building like a hot knife through butter. I hugged and covered him, we heard the buzzing growing, approaching us. We looked at each other and in his eyes was not even fear, but very sad resignation, “Mom, is that all?”
It didn't hit us. It hit a residential building 30 seconds away from us. Many civilians were killed. russians killed a family - a little three-month-old girl Kira, her mother, her grandmother. Her father went to the store, it was Easter, and he needed to buy something more. He survived then, but later died at the front. Since then we have had many such griefs. Many thousands of it.
The boy crushed to death by the ceiling of his childhood room, the family members who survived when everyone else died. My city is under constant attack. Today there were three air raids and there will probably be more at night - they often fire at us at night, preventing us from sleeping. And in the morning you still have to go to work, it’s amazing how quickly such things become part of the routine.
But many other cities were destroyed along with their inhabitants. Parents buried their children in playgrounds near their homes. Do you know what the russians are doing in several dilapidated cities that they captured? Realtors film advertising reports from apartments abandoned by their owners in a hurry. They walk through other people's rooms, show off a child's high chair and furniture, and point out a slightly burnt window and wall as a flaw in a house for sale.
There are not enough words in the whole world to express the disgust at this vile meanness that we feel. I know that people are usually not interested in worrying about problems that are happening somewhere far, far away. But I want people to understand: we cannot repeat the mistakes of the last century. No one should flirt with dictators. I think putin has a lot of dirt on all significant politicians in many countries of the world. I wonder what's there?
Inhumans like putin cannot live without reveling in the suffering of others, but they themselves are cowardly. They are like street thugs who beat up the weak, but run away in terror when danger threatens them. Now is the right moment to stop such an evil as the russian federation. If you don’t do this, the world will end up in World War III, but if Germany didn’t have so many resources and cannon fodder in the last century, then putin has it all.
I usually don’t talk about war, but sometimes all these thoughts come out like a scream, and it’s hard to stop.
It’s monstrous to see such awful crimes taking place for three years, while politicians and organizations that should be putting out this fire are roasting marshmallows on it. The world should not be ruled by people like this.
I hope this war will end soon. But it should not end in such a way that the war criminals are rewarded, because otherwise the world will begin such chaos from which it will not recover.
