Another astonishing report by @mirrorsbreath from Russian occupied Kherson - republished here: meduza.io/feature/2022/0… excerpts in thread:
"Самая острая проблема — лекарства. В аптеках нет сердечных, гипотензивных лекарств. Исчез L-тироксин, который пожизненно необходим людям, у которых не функционирует щитовидная железа, — его сейчас невозможно купить на территории всей Украины."
"The biggest problem is meds. There are no cardiac, antihypertensive drugs in pharmacies. L-thyroxine, which is vital for people who do not have a functioning thyroid gland, has disappeared - it is now impossible to buy it on the territory of the whole of Ukraine."

Нас отвели в эту разбомбленную школу, в которой они сейчас сидят... И возили несколько раз. Это была принудительная эвакуация, никто из нас не хотел выезжать из Украины.
