This is Raisa Ivanivna, a retired Ukrainian language teacher from Avdiivka. Her beloved cat Mashka sits on her back.

Currently, the Russians are trying to surround Avdiivka, erasing the city from the face of the earth in the process, as they have already done with many other eastern Ukrainian cities.

There are still civilians in Avdiivka, mostly elderly people, who refuse to evacuate and leave the ruins of their homes. Russian propagandists on state TV urge not to feel sorry for those who stayed in the city and to raze Avdiivka to the ground, because "the lives of Russian soldiers are more valuable". And compare the residents who remained in Avdiivka with the Germans of Berlin, whom "no one felt sorry for in 1945 either."

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: this is the Donbas, Avdiivka is a city in the east of Ukraine, with mostly Russian-speaking population. These are the "people of the Donbas" whom Putin supposedly "protects and liberates". This is russian liberation.

It was the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka. Russian Nazis - barbarians destroyed it and killed the inhabitants...
