Мене змушували мити туалети в Оленівці - через антисанітарію я втратила зір: історія азовки "Міри", яка вижила в полоні та бореться за друге дихання.
Ольга Гринчук, позивний "Міра", - колишня старша кухарка першого батальйону "Азову", родом із Маріуполя.
До війська пішла у 2020 році, хоча військова справа була їй близькою: колишній чоловік - прикордонник, багато друзів служили.
У званні старшого солдата вона готувала на кухні тричі на день по 400 порцій, їздила на навчання до Золочева, де опановувала польову кухню в умовах карантину та сирих дров на снігу.
На початку повномасштабного вторгнення жінок із її підрозділу вивезли на "Азовсталь".
Наприкінці березня 2022-го командири запропонували евакуацію, але Ольга залишилась з побратимами - частково через те, що в Маріуполі лишилися її мама й старший брат, який майже нічого не бачить.
На заводі вони жили в бункерах, шукали продукти серед руїн і годували бійців у пекельних умовах.
17 травня 2022 року "Міра" потрапила в полон. В Оленівській колонії через антисанітарію вона занесла інфекцію в праве око.
До того ж її змушували мити туалети - дірки в підлозі, куди зверху стікали нечистоти, прибирати доводилося по кілька разів на день без нормальних рукавичок.
У донецькій лікарні лікування майже не було - лише болючі уколи в око. Вона провела там до квітня 2023 року.
10 квітня 2023-го "Міру" обміняли. Лікарі в Києві діагностували рубець і наріст на рогівці, гній, збільшений кришталик - потрібна була складна операція.
Влітку 2023 року друзі-волонтери допомогли їй поїхати в Австрію, де зробили дві операції.
Проте після повернення почалося відторгнення рогівки і лікарі повідомили: врятувати її вже неможливо, потрібна повторна операція в Австрії.
Наприкінці 2024 року Ольга звільнилася з війська через другу групу інвалідності, щоб підготуватися до лікування.
Операція була запланована на квітень, але коштує великих грошей, яких у неї немає.
Зараз вона бачить лівим оком лише на 25%, завдяки лінзі - на 100%, і мріє після одужання повернутися в "Азов" уже як операторка дронів.
russia has sentenced four Ukrainian Marine commanders to life in prison for defending Mariupol.
Hero of Ukraine Volodymyr Baranyuk, Dmytro Karmyankov, Vitalii Yaroshenko, and Mykola Biriukov were tortured, forced into false "confessions," and convicted in a secret sham trial.
Their only crime was refusing to surrender.
This isn't justice. It's revenge.
russia is sentencing Ukraine's heroes to life for resisting an invasion while the real war criminals sit safely in the Kremlin.
The world must not stay silent.
Російські війська використовують цивільні шкільні автобуси у військових цілях. Це доволі поширена практика серед російських сил.
Згодом їхня пропаганда інсценує удари по таких цілях для створення потрібної картинки для західної аудиторії.
Meet russia's torturer in a white coat: Vyacheslav Mykolaiovych Cherdantsev.
He didn't heal. He tortured.
A 48-year-old prison "doctor" at Penal Colony No. 7 in Pakino, he humiliated and abused Ukrainian POWs under the guise of medical examinations.
He drew penises on prisoners' faces with green antiseptic, forced naked men to hug, dance, and simulate sex during so-called medical examinations. He denied treatment for scabies, infected wounds, and broken bones. He beat them, humiliated them, and threatened them with rape.
Dozens of Ukrainian survivors who endured this hell independently identified him. Many were left psychologically shattered. One 23-year-old Ukrainian Marine died by suicide after enduring the abuse.
This is not a doctor. This is a sadist. This is a war criminal.
The investigative journalists at Skhemy identified him and revealed his face.
Cherdantsev belongs in the dock, alongside the entire system that enabled and protected him.
The world knows his face. Now he must answer for his crimes.

As I watched this video, my heart was filled with both joy and ❤️🩹 at the same time.
Look at this little boy. He is standing at the train station, not yet knowing that he is about to hear the words he has been waiting for-that he is going home, to Ukraine. Then look at his eyes the moment he finds out. So much happiness in a single glance.
And at the same time, so much pain.
Because of Russіа, thousands of Ukrainian children have lost their homes. Thousands have been forced to leave Ukraine. And no matter what anyone says, it is hard. Especially for children. They miss their homes, their bedrooms, their friends, and the places they love. They simply want to go home.
Watching the joy in this little boy’s eyes brought me to tears. I’m sitting here crying.
Because every child deserves to grow up at home, not to dream of returning one day, but to simply live in their own country, in peace.

🔴 Russians are burning harvest in the Kherson region.
Drones are setting grain fields and villages ablaze.
5,000 hectares of grain destroyed: food for more than a million people.
A Russian drone killed Viktor Hordiienko's father. The farmer is carrying on the fight:
Russia spent last week murdering civilians sleeping in their homes with ballistic missiles and now the Olympics invites them back. That means the russian anthem will play at the next games. This is absolutely disgusting.
За одну ночь СБС Мадяра подбили 8 танкеров теневого флота России, а также сухогруз и паром. Азовское море для российских судов по сути закрыто, ни снабжать Крым, ни вывозить что-то из Мариуполя больше не получится.
A four-day-old baby girl experienced her first night at home to the sound of explosions during Russia's attack on Kyiv.
"You're four days old. This is your first night at home. It should have been a joyful one for you - and for us, your parents. But the neighboring state is nothing but the scum of society," the baby's mother, Arina, wrote.

Shtilierman: America’s only real leverage over Ukraine is Starlink. They can switch it off at any moment and damage frontline communications.
That is why Ukraine and Europe need an independent alternative.
Caolan is a real fucking reporter. Missiles exploding behind him, and he keeps filming, while the entire Western media hides, closes its eyes, and pretends the war in Ukraine isn’t even happening.
Fucking thank you, @CaolanReports, for doing what the world won’t.

A russian drone has just struck a residential high-rise in Izium, Kharkiv region.
One woman was killed.
Three people were injured.
Every single day, russia continues to terrorize Ukrainian civilians.
Let me explain this pic. On Wednesday June 23 in Zarho village in northern Mali, Russian mercenaries & Malian soldiers slaughtered a young Tamasheq Tuareg. A swastika was formed with the two arms & two legs of the decapitated victim. His head was placed in the middle of the cross
