BUCHA, IRPIN, GOSTOMEL, BORODYANKA

Google Irpin’, Bucha, Gostomel’, Borodyanka… these are the cities that suffered from the “Russian World”. They are now freed by the Ukrainian army, but for over a month the russian army was committing horrendous crimes in these cities, the crimes that, in their horror, measure up to the war crimes of WWII. They raped, tortured and killed women and small children, tortured and killed men, killed and ate dogs, marauded and destroyed our houses... Entire families (including very young kids) were shot with their hands tied behind their backs. Russians dug a mass grave in Bucha and simply dumped the bodies of the city residents there… there are countless cases of war crimes by the russians I find psychologically impossible to utter.And all of them were committed because the people they killed were Ukrainian. The nazi russian government finally stopped hiding and openly calls for extinguishing the entire Ukrainian nation along with the name “Ukraine” in an article in their government-controlled media.When the russian army invaded we found out that they brought mobile crematoriums with them… naively we thought it’s for their soldiers, so their families never find out what really happened… but we soon realized - they are for us, for Ukrainians. The russian ideology is set to destroy every single manifestation of Ukrainian culture and heritage, along with our people, animals, architecture… everything. They want to leave a dark void where Ukraine stands. That’s why giving up is not an option. If Ukrainians give up, they will be erased. And if Ukrainians give up, other nations will be also be erased one by one. Russians will not stop until they ARE STOPPED.#standwithukraine We have to stop this senseless nightmarish war!Russia has to bear responsibility for every single Ukrainian they raped, tortured and killed. We will never forget or forgive.
