⚡️Video of the first minutes after the Russian missile attack on the train station in Kramatorsk.
A local journalist was filming the evacuation of people when the explosion took place. His video was published by the Ukrainian service of the Voice of America.
❗️The shelling killed more than 50 people. Among the dead were five children.
❗️This is Kostia’s story. When someone asks him “Where have you been for the past eight years?” he will have an answer. Kostia is from Donetsk. And eight years ago, he lost his home. But he was able to find an hiding place, safe from the war… in Kharkiv.

🇺🇦35 days have passed, but the whole Ukraine remembers the first day.
The day our world turned upside down. When life split on "before" the war and "after". When we were told that Kyiv would be taken in two days. When we all became united as never, and rose to defend our homeland, our right to exist and freedom.
Deep gratitude to everyone, who stands up for Ukraine: the military, doctors, utility serviceman, volunteers and all Ukrainians!
We are proud people, who defend their land, and we will not give away a single piece of this land!
35 days of heroic resistance!
Everything will definitely be Ukraine! 🇺🇦

‼️Occupiers force people to leave Ukraine and relocate them to Russia
Over the past week, several thousand Mariupol residents were deported to Russia. It is known that the captured Mariupol residents were taken to filtration camps, where the occupiers checked people's phones and documents. After the inspection, some Mariupol residents were redirected to remote cities in Russia, the fate of others remains unknown.
"What the occupiers are doing today is familiar to the older generation, who saw the horrific events of World War II, when the Nazis forcibly captured people. It is hard to imagine that in the 21st century people will be forcibly deported to another country. Not only are Russian troops destroying our peaceful Mariupol, but they have also gone even further and started deporting Mariupol residents. All war crimes on the part of Russia should be punished the most severely, ”said Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko.
