#hroza

Hi! Thank you for worrying <3 I've been having migraines for the past week, but overall, I'm fine. I haven't been making my monthly posts lately, so I want to make one now. I hope you don't mind me using your ask for it.

October brought a lot of suffering for Ukraine - not that it stopped ever since Russia attacked us. On October 5, Ruzzians sent a missile into a cafe at Hroza village where people gathered for a memorial service. 59 civilians were killed, including women, a child, and the elderly. Here are some of them.

Later, on the night of October 18, Russian missile hit the apartment building in Zaporizhzhia. Five people died, including a married couple Daniil (23 years old) and Diana (20 years). They had three cats. Russians killed two of them; one cat survived.

This baby is going to live with the parents of Daniil who were hurt but who survived.

The pain is never-ending, there are countless examples of it, and unfortunately and unsurprisingly, people with the power to stop it aren't interested in doing it. To be honest, I lost hope. I don't think Ukraine can win this war. Neither can Russia, but considering that it's our people and animals dying, it's maddeningly unfair. Other countries help us, but even those of them that could give us enough weapons to really facilitate the victory aren't in a hurry to do it because for one reason or another, this state of never-ending war is beneficial to them. Nothing new, still devastating.

My plans haven't changed: if nothing improves in a year, I will do everything to relocate my family to another country. For now, I'm trying to learn how to live in a moment, to focus on today first and foremost. I'm watching a show called Black Sails and enjoying it so far. My Mom and I rescued a bunny a week ago, so now I have another source of joy in my home. If only he stopped peeing on my bed :D

Thank you all for still supporting me with your comments, messages, and interaction in general. Extra thanks to those who help me via Patreon. I finally decided to do something more in return, so I'll be posting my 43K-long original dark romance WIP there. I started writing it back in 2016, but I still love it and I hope to finish it. Here's some info about it.

It's naive to hope that one day, Russia will stop committing genocide and powerful countries will do something other than show weak disapproval, giving Ukraine some weapons with one hand and selling things for killing us to Russia with the other hand. But who knows. Maybe the world can still surprise us.

russia killed 15% of the population of Hroza with just one strike...

«At the time of the rocket attack, a memorial service was held in the cafe for a dead fellow villager,» – the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

P.S: 50 dead. According to preliminary information, the cafe was hit by an "Iskander" missile.

The law enforcement officers suspect that someone from the local area "directed" the russian strike at the object, because the hit was very accurate.

"We used to plant flowers together, but now I dig their graves," Volodymyr, the head of the local utility company, shows me the graves they have been digging for four days now, "you see, there are branches with red ropes in seven graves, which means that seven people from one family will be buried. Everyone here is buried in families. Everyone here who is digging graves has lost either an acquaintance, friend, or relative. Some of them lost them all at once".

Today, Tetiana's funeral is taking place. She was 53 years old. She was killed by a missile attack in the village of Groza immediately after the reburial of her fellow villagers. His son's wife died with her. According to the locals, half of the people present that day were women, mostly elderly. Two children also died at the site.

"This is only the fourth burial, and I understand that I can't do it anymore. No one prepared me for the fact that I would have to bury a quarter of my village," says Anatoliy, 73, who also joined the grave digging, "I survived by a miracle because I was supposed to be at that farewell dinner. And when the rocket attack happened, I was just five minutes’ walk... And now what... This is the fourteenth grave we've been digging together".

For now, there are still seriously wounded survivors of the rocket attack in a Kharkiv hospital. Some bodies are being searched for DNA, some bodies have been burnt to ash and people are still missing. The death toll remains unchanged at 52 people.

Let your representative in Congress know he or she will not receive your vote unless aid from the United States to Ukraine continues unabated to prevent genocidal aggression, in the form of inhumane terrorist attacks by Russia like this one, from becoming the new normal. 🇺🇦💔💙💛😢🇺🇦

#Repost @weareukraine.ua with @use.repost . . . On Oct. 5, 2023, the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region fell victim to a Russian shelling. The shelling of a village store killed at least 49 people, including a child, and left seven individuals wounded, as of 4 pm local time.

In response to the heinous attack, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared, “This is an unmistakably brutal Russian crime, a deliberate act of terrorism. At this time, we mourn the loss of over 48 lives. My deepest condolences go out to the victims and their families. Aid is being provided to the wounded, and we will respond to these terrorists with unwavering resolve and strength. Those who aid Russia in evading sanctions are complicit in criminal activity. Anyone who continues to support Russia is complicit in perpetuating evil. Russia seeks such acts of terror for one purpose: to normalize its genocidal aggression worldwide. I extend my gratitude to every leader and nation that stands by us in the defense of human life.”
