Ukrainians live in hell – a hell nobody can fully comprehend.
A rocket hits a home. From the rubble, rescuers pull out a burned woman, and from her arms – a baby. The child survives, but the mother dies. This is Kyiv. This is Europe. This is the 21st century. Can you imagine such a thing? Can you ever get used to such pain?
In the South and center of Kherson, a bomb is dropped on a car: a pregnant woman is wounded, and her two sons each lose a leg. For what? For simply being alive? For being Ukrainian?
People spend months on the front lines, holding their positions, and then die in an air attack on what is supposed to be peaceful territory. How is this even possible?
Children are evacuated to a “safe” village, fleeing the shelling – and then a drone hits their house. What does the word ‘safe’ even mean now?
It is almost impossible to grasp that all this is happening in real time – not in a nightmare from which you can wake up. But this is no dream.
Every day, Ukrainians face questions that sound like scenes from a war drama, but they are real life:
how to find the dead among ruins and debris,
how to identify a body,
how to resubmit DNA samples because “it can’t be him,”
where and how to bury loved ones,
how to bring the body home,
how to prove in court that someone is dead when there is no body but there are witnesses,
what to do if the family refuses to recognize the remains despite DNA confirmation,
how to rescue those trapped behind enemy lines,
how to drop a bottle of water or a bit of food to the isolated,
how to evacuate a dog chained in a bombed-out yard,
how to find a civilian loved one in a place that no longer exists,
where to shelter those who have lost everything and have nowhere to go…
And these are only fragments of a million daily tasks that now define our reality – a reality that shocks anyone who still has the privilege of peace.
The invaders do everything to exhaust us, to break us, to turn us against one another. Every day brings dead children, wounded adults, destroyed cities, and empty villages – war in all its ugliness. They try to crush us not only with weapons but with despair and grief.
And yet there remains one unshakable truth: history’s wheel will turn, and russia will pay for everything – for every drop of a child’s blood, every mother’s tear, every village erased, every life shattered.
Justice will come – but it will not come on its own!
It will come through us. The reckoning for the killers will be written by our own hands – through struggle, through justice, through remembrance. We do not sit and wait for divine retribution; we stand and fight this evil, even at the cost of our lives.
Supporting Ukraine is not a political choice for those who want to live in a free world – it is a moral duty. To support us means to stand on the side of life, dignity, and the future.
Now more than ever, help is needed – military support, medical, legal, informational.
Every act of solidarity matters.
russian troops deliberately killed civilians carrying a white flag in Kharkiv region — Ukrainian Air Assault Forces
On November 4, in the village of Kruhlyakivka, Kharkiv region, russian forces targeted and killed two unarmed civilians walking along a road under a white flag, accompanied by their dog.
The 77th Separate Airmobile “Naddniprianska” Brigade of Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces released a video showing the moment of the FPV drone strike.
There were no military targets or soldiers nearby — only civilians trying to signal their peaceful intent.
The footage, reportedly filmed by russian operators, captures a clear war crime: the deliberate killing of non-combatants, in violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.
This act is not an isolated incident — it’s part of russia’s ongoing campaign of terror against Ukrainian civilians, using precision weapons and drones to spread fear and destruction far from the frontline.

Sadi$ti¢ barbarians! 🖤🛑⚖️ The whole civilized world needs to wake up to the facts of their crimes against humanity, to #STOP them, or they would destroy and enslave us.
As always – it is heartbreaking to see unprotected innocent civilians being targeted and filmed – what twisted mind finds satisfaction in this human safari? The answer is – russian. This must be a case not only for International Criminal Court and European Court of Human Rights / Cour européenne des droits de l’homme , but also for psychiatric science as it is not normal and obviously sadistic in its nature.
The West stands and watches the innocent fall day after day and still continues to make excuses for inaction. For the sake of our common humanity, this needs to be stopped.
