"Where are you going? At least they don't shoot in here," I kept hearing from people around.
Like me, they felt uncomfortable under #RussianOccupation but fear of the unknown paralysed their desire to live free. Fear & uncertainty cost them freedom.

Before #UkraineRussiaWar, a 230-kilometre distance from Berdyansk, a port city west of #Mariupol, to #Zaporizhia in the Southeast of Ukraine could be easily done in 3 hours by minibus.
In May, this route took people fleeing Berdyansk three days.

Informants & traitors make up the backbone of "punitive bodies" in #Russia-occupied areas of #Ukraine: local councillors from pro-Russian parties, law enforcement officials of various ranks & #Kherson residents who have been opposing de-Sovietization in pre-war times.

Traitors have been long engaged in collecting information about the situation on the ground, leaking details of pro-Ukrainian activists & military. After #RussianOccupation their work became "legal".
Still, Russian collaborators remain scarce in numbers.

A #thread on the horror of #Bucha: locals recount random, unaccountable violence against civilians in clear evidence of war crimes.

The few scattered residents of this devastated suburb city outside #Kyiv share a blank, distant stare that speaks of the terror they experienced during weeks of #RussianOccupation.
“The artillery and shootings were 24/7,” said Dmytro Zamohylnyi. “We couldn’t leave our house for the entire time. Only when the Russians left, on March 31, could we see the dead bodies. In a radius of 1km around my house we found around 15 bodies – all civilians, no military.”
