#Bakhmut

1 post1 participant1 post today

The #Ukrainian city of #Bakhmut was founded in the 16th century, was once a fortress, was active in salt mining, survived the plague in the 18th century, built factories in the 19th century, survived World War I and World War II, and developed in the 21st century.

Today, only #ruins remain of Bakhmut; the city is #dead.
#putin's propagandists describe the interruption of the city's five-hundred-year history and its destruction as "#liberation."

#MariaZaitseva, 24

Maria was #Belarusian and participated in #protests in #Minsk in 2020 against #electionfraud by #Lukashenko in #Belarus

Her facial scars are from fragments of a flash grenade in the protest (I'm not linking the gory picture of her that went viral)

She volunteered as a #soldier for #Ukraine

Here's what we are reading today:

#Russia is now just 6 miles outside of the town of Pokrovsk, and evacuations are underway.

Residents fear their home will turn into another #Bakhmut, as Russia slowly enters artillery range of the town.

The New York Times · With Russia on Its Doorstep, a Ukrainian Town Packs Its BagsBy Andrew E. Kramer

When he was wounded in fierce fighting near the eastern city of #Bakhmut in March last year, Ukrainian soldier Yevhenii #Korinets thought he was going to die.

The former military paramedic, whose left leg was amputated at the hip, qualified for the national sitting volleyball team and spoke during a break from training with fellow athletes ahead of the #Paralympics in #Paris which opened on Wednesday.

Continued thread

Those orcs who somehow miraculously survived the bloody assaults near #Bakhmut and #Soledar returned to their homeland. Naturally, neither prison nor war changed them, but on the contrary, they strengthened the idea that they could do anything.

It is difficult to calculate how many crimes they have committed in #Russia itself. Maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. The number of murders, rapes, robberies, and other crimes in the #Russian_Federation will only increase.
