Please, help save Julia Paevska from Russian captivity!
#Taira (Julia Paevska) is a well-known Ukrainian sportswoman and a paramedic who saved more than 500 people during the war in Donbass.
On March 16, Julia was captured by Russians in besieged Mariupol 1/
where she was providing medical aid to local people as a volunteer. She was decommissioned from military service due to her disability, so she is protected under Geneva Conventions both as a medic and as a non-combatant. The Russian propaganda falsely accussed her to be a Nazi 2/
and a killer, and shown her in a humiliating video, in which she looked like she was tortured. She has a disability and requires medical aid. Russia refuses to list her as a prisoner of war, denies all contact with her, and we don’t even know if she is still alive.
