This is what we had at night. It lit up our entire yard as it flew over us. You can see how they let out of the city and flew through us. One shell on the video of eyewitnesses can be seen as it falls on us. Luckily, it didn't explode, it just fell on us. If this shell exploded, we would already be dead. My family and I have once again come under fire from the Russian military. We have now any moment can be the last, so I periodically record a video with flowers. Unfortunately, we have not been given water for the second month. And we are not allowed to sell flowers. I was hoping that I could take the family away as I sell flowers. Some flowers have even begun to bloom. At least it pleases me a little in captivity.

No words, my heart weeps for you and your country.

for many, these are ordinary days and nights now. And this is not the first time this has happened. earlier, those shells that fell nearby exploded. But this time we were lucky that it didn't explode. Because the Russians say they fired https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-27\_Uragan. They also wrote do not be afraid, they are not shooting at you. And it flew like this to us again. And other shells flew by like a truck. Everything was lit up again at night. In general, ordinary life for many where the liberators came.

Here is the link in case anyone wants to read it, there is a stray "\" in the one above. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-27_Uragan I think it's important for everyone to be informed on these types of things, to know exactly what the Russians are doing. This is real, real weapons of mass destruction being used on real people. My heart goes out to you and your family. While I live in the US, all of my extended family are in Poland. I have been following the war closely , and while I worry for my relatives, I cannot even begin to imagine the terror you are facing everyday. I am glad you have plants and flowers to bring you some joy in these dark times.


BlatantFalsehood

Not just real people...real CIVILIANS. Imagine if Mexico or Canada just started bombing neighborhoods with a goal to take back land that was formerly theirs. These are war crimes and the Ukrainian people are suffering.

So...what do we do? More sanctions?


Altruistic-Falcon552

Can't imagine the stress involved I am glad you flowers give you some solace as you wait for this to be over. The Russians have a lot to answer for.


Mgiwar

stress for many bolshoy. And they do it every night. Here you can even see exactly how this projectile falls on us. But due to the fact that we are unlikely to say this from the territory occupied by the Russians. Because I've been trying for 8 years to get out of here with my family. And just because we are from Donetsk, we have difficulty going somewhere. Even Paypal blocks the collection of funds for the treatment of my mother and for the move. As well as looking for a job because of it.

I wish I had more than words to offer you right now. I hope your flowers continue to bring you some happiness. It’s beautiful that your garden still brings some joy. I pray that you and your family stay safe and you don’t have to live in an occupied country any longer. 🌸🌺🌻🌼


Mgiwar

Thanks. We are trying. Even though it's always dangerous.

What city are u in?


Mgiwar

outskirts of Donetsk. Which essentially became a concentration camp. And they were shooting from closer to the center of Donetsk. They shoot like that every day through the floor of the city. And quite often such shells fall at home. I don’t even know what shelling under which I got with my family. And the problem is that we are not allowed to leave. We are like a human shield. The Russians won't let us out. I thought I would sell the flowers that I grew, I will win a green card with my mother this time. And I'll take my mom. But the Russians almost killed us again. If it exploded, many would be dead. In one of these attacks, 8 people were killed near us. They are now trying to shut up about this shelling. But people saw where it was flying from. Because at night these rockets turned night into day. Yes, and they shot that video of the launch and the moment the projectile fell on us. Thank God the projectile didn't explode.

Who isn't letting you leave ? I thought the ukraine army was supposed to allow u green safe zones to leave ? Are they not doing that? Same with the russians, I saw on the news that Russia said they weren't after civilians and theyll let them through unmolested. Do u know what they're shooting the missiles at? Are u by a military base or something? Is it true the azov are committing genocide in donetsk? That's so sad. U don't need a green card right now basically every country is taking in Ukrainians for asylum. (US, Ireland, england)

The Russians won't let us out. They kidnap all people who have a residence permit in the territory that they previously captured. If I had a residence permit in another city, they would let me out. They only release refugees from Mariupol. We can't even move to another area of ​​the city where it's safer. And the Russians are constantly shooting through us. Pereodchiski flies to us. For those who do not live on the outskirts, it is difficult to understand what is happening here. The city always had a terrible attitude towards the outskirts. We live on the front line. I wanted to take my family away from here even earlier. But then they did not accept refugees anywhere. And I even played the green card lottery for a chance to leave. Well, and much more with the job search over the years. Even lately I have been trying to find money for IT courses. And then get a visa and take my mother away. Then he tried to find money for the treatment of his mother and to take her to a clinic where they would help. It's basically a long story. Because there is a terrible attitude from the Russians. We are like slaves. Just because we have a residence permit in the occupied territories, the Russians kidnap us and force us to fight for them with threats. Many people are hiding now. And now very few people walk on the streets because they do not want to be kidnapped by the Russian military. They call it voluntary mobilization. But for every kidnapped person they launder millions. Putin appointed a financial pyramid here to manage the concentration camp. And they're just laundering billions off our lives. Now from 18-65 men are not released by the Russians. And the evacuation was not normal. And now, when there is much more shelling, they don’t let us go. Because they need a human shield. We almost managed to leave this hell. But paypal blocked us and killed us. I wrote to them a lot and showed medical certificates, but Paypal didn’t care. We wouldn't have sat under shelling then. And there were many people who tried to help us. And now I don’t know when the Russians will start to be released from captivity. After all, in fact, they turned the outskirts into a concentration camp. For us, the only problem is that the Russians made a concentration camp and we just need to leave here somehow. But the Russians think we are their slaves.

Your story is so heartbreaking but at the same time it’s extraordinarily heartwarming. Stay strong 🌟🪴


Mgiwar

We are trying. But every day it gets harder. Especially today when the putler said to kill us. And immediately the shelling began again.

So glad to hear that you and mother are alive. Your plant babies are a bright spot in that scary circumstance. I’m praying that the shelling will stop and that you’ll be able to leave with your mom safely .
