The Ukrainian town of Maryinka was located in the Donetsk region. Before the arrival of russian troops, it was a cozy, green, and peaceful town with a population of about 10,000 people. General education and music schools, kindergartens, community centers, and local businesses operated here. Having been a frontline zone since 2014 as a result of the war in Donbas, the town lived under the constant threat of shelling for a long time, yet it preserved life and infrastructure.
Maryinka suffered absolute, total destruction, turning into a "ghost town" that has been virtually wiped off the face of the earth. The destruction of the town was the result of nearly two years of continuous, brutal artillery shelling, airstrikes, and positional assaults during the full-scale invasion. The battles for Maryinka were among the longest and most exhausting of the war. Not a single intact building remains in the town: the entire housing stock-private homesteads and apartment buildings, as well as critical infrastructure, roads, schools, and administrative facilities have been completely destroyed. The civilian population was fully evacuated by the end of 2022. In late December 2023, Ukrainian troops withdrew from the ruins of the town after it was completely obliterated by russian assaults. Currently, Maryinka is under russian occupation, presenting a landscape of solid ruins. This is what it means to neighbor russia...
25 years ago, the world united against terror.
Today, the world watches the genocide of Ukrainians unfold in real time.
Back then — outrage and action.
Now — indifference and empty concern.
Where the hell is your outrage?!
🕯️ Russians killed the couple Artem and Olena Voronov, who were raising 10 children
At the time of the Russian strike on their house in Radushne, seven children and a one-and-a-half-year-old grandson (son of their eldest son serving in the army) were at home. Both parents and at least four children were killed.
One of the sons, Matviy, learned of the deaths of his parents, brothers, and sisters from a neighbor’s chat in a messaging app.
«Заходьте, можете подивитися, тільки там лежить мій син Рома. Він мертвий, не дихає», - каже мені пані Тетяна з понівеченого будинку в Дарницькому районі Києва після сьогоднішньої атаки.
За ці роки я бачив багато горя. Але щоразу таке неможливо осягнути і сприйняти.
Я прийшов зробити фотографію вирви від ракети з вікна цієї квартири і не очікував побачити трагедію, глибшу за будь яку вирву.

No military vehicles this year at Moscow’s Victory Day parade! Maybe Putin should ask Zelensky for help. Ukraine has quite an impressive parade of Russian military equipment on offer.
On Feb. 20 2014, Pres. Yanukovych’s forces opened live fire on Maidan protesters in Kyiv.
At least 47 people were killed, most of them on Instytutska Street
Many young adults on X aren’t old enough to have seen this footage back then, but we remember it clearly. Share it widely
Ukraine will rise again, stronger and united.
The buildings will be rebuilt, but the same cannot be said for the families broken by the loss of their loved ones.
For them, justice must be done.

🚨 Ternopil, Ukraine: At least 25 people, including three children, were killed and 73 injured in a Russian missile attack on an apartment building. The video clearly captures the direct hit.
Russians struck a kindergarten in Kharkiv. Luckily, kids were in the shelter.
Let me guess, it was a military target? Was NATO conducting a conference there? “Patriots” were hiding in the sandbox?
🔴 The firefighters extinguished the fire at the kindergarten.
48 children were in the shelter at the time of the Russian drone strike, and they were all evacuated to safety. One person was killed and six others were injured.
Вышел фильм-расследование Радио Свобода "Буча. Яблонская" с ежеминутной реконструкцией нескольких дней в марте 2022 года по улице Яблонской, где российские солдаты псковского 234-го десантно-штурмового полка убивали мирных жителей.
Есть всё. Видео с камер наблюдения, телефонов, дронов, вещи, оставленные российскими военными. Идентифицированы рашистские военные, причастные к убийствам гражданских лиц.
Это очень страшный фильм и именно поэтому это должен видеть весь мир.
Россия террорист, палач и убийца.

I don't know how else to reach you, so I'm asking you - maybe they'll hear us this way.
Please share these photos. Show them to your politicians. This is the Kyiv metro.
Every night, Ukrainians hide here from Russian missiles. Families sleep on the cold floor with their children.
Please, help us. Close the sky over Ukraine.

This is what Ukrainian city Sumy looks like after a Russian missile strike in broad daylight.
The number of victims has surpassed 28 — including 4 children.
