russians have caused another disaster. an environmental disaster. another heinous crime. the russians destroyed the hydroelectric power plant dam in Ukraine.
before destroying the dam, the russians raised the water level to a record-high 17.5 meters by keeping the gates closed. deliberately to cause as much destruction as possible. the power of the stream is incredible, the water destroys even tower cranes, it is scary to imagine what happens to people and animals.
there are already known cases of terrible deaths of animals in zoos and eco-parks, domestic animals that people didn't have time to save, animals that cannot be saved, stray animals, cats and dogs that drowned helplessly and continue to drown because people don't have time to save everyone.
someone's homes and lives destroyed, thousands of people at risk of drowning, Ukraine and Ukrainians once again suffer from russian terrorism. how can russia chair the UN Security Council? how does the world still tolerate russians and do business with russia? I'm asking you, please spread the word, don't be indifferent. we fight every day for our freedom and independence! for the freedom of the world! support us in the fight against evil. russians are murderers and terrorists. russia must be stopped!
All russians are guilty in this. The ones who do it, who support it, who ignore it, who think that they can do nothing and choose to party all 7 monthes on our graves.
there is nothing essential about russian culture that puts the country on a warpath against its neighbors; there is nothing inherently cruel, violent, or sadistic to be found in it. there is likewise nothing about azerbaijanis or turks that makes them predisposed to barbarity against armenians, kurds, greeks. we are going to see all this happen again and again and again if we buy into this superficial, reactionary argument

sedniv at night. chernihiv region, ukraine, 2023. by oleksandr arendar
today I found out that russian soldiers are now living in half of my parents' house, the house I grew up in. It feels like my childhood is being raped.
my mother inherited half of this house from her grandparents, another half was inherited by our relatives. I lived there 'till I was 17, and though I didn't have a happy upbringing, it was still...no, it is still my home. Now those relatives have left and sold their half to the russian occupiers, the only people who buy property there nowadays. Most of the times they just take empty houses for themselves or kick the owners out, but some actually pay something for it.
my parents have been living in Donetsk city for the past year, but now they're temporarily visiting my hometown in Donetsk region, and things are worse there than in the city. It's not only our house, the entire town is basically a russian military base. No jobs left that aren't related to the military in some way, no buildings that don't have soldiers in them. Every hospital, school or business - russians are everywhere. It's even in the little details - stalls in the market, where they always sold clothes, purses and cosmetics, now sell only camo and other military stuff. College across the street from my house, now hosts the russian military, both the academic building and the dormitory. They choose buildings surrounded by residential houses.
I don't know why I feel like this. Never planned to go back there, not even after the war, yet it still feels so devastating. All those places I know like the back of my hand, all those memories...
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS! RUSSIA HAS BLOWN UP THE KHAKIBKA HYDROELECTROSTATION DAM AND IS FLOODING COUNTLESS UKRAINIAN TOWNS AND VILLAGES! THIS IS THE BIGGEST ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE IN EUROPE SINCE CHORNOBYL! Post written and provided by @ohsalome: Now, the situation is desperate. I know I've bothered you with donations recently, but this is a time-sensitive matter. I've collected several organisations that are currently helping to evacuate people from the territory that is/will be soon flooded. Please, please, send them any cent you can and signal boost this, the things are really BAD and we need as much help as we can get: Vostok SOS helps people evacuate from dangerous territories, since the beginning of the war they've already helped 46 000 people. Elderly and disabled people are of an extra need of assistance. Helping to leave is another organization that has been helping evacuate people from occupied territories, and is currently gathering funds to help people in Kherson region.
Denys Fedko is a volunteer who currently collects money for fuel, which is always in short stock during war; and general evacuation needs.
PEOPLE ARE DROWNING, THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE BEING WIPED OUT! THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE SOIL ON THE EARTH, WHICH HAS BEEN GROWING GRAIN FOR EXPORT TO HUNDEREDS OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE ONES MOST DEPENDANT ON FOREIGN EXPORTS!
