💪🏼🇺🇦We continue to publish the stories of the brave defenders of #Mariupol who refuse to surrender and continue to fight in inhumane conditions. The whole world knows their faces now. #SaveAzovstalMilitary
1️⃣ Serhiy Volynsky, call sign "Volyna." He is a 30-year-old acting commander of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade. Volynsky is called the "voice" of hellish Azovstal. His wife and a little son are waiting for their hero at home.
2️⃣ Valentyn, call sign "Frost." He is a 24-year-old machine gunner in the Azov Regiment. As a 16-year-old boy, Valentyn took an active part in the Revolution of Dignity. Valentyn entered military school and when he turned 18 he joined Azov Regiment.
3️⃣ Hassan, a Crimean Tatar and Muslim, is a paramedic of the Azov regiment. He studied medicine before the full-scale war and is now providing medical care to the wounded in Azovstal. Hassan has appealed to @RTErdogan to help in the evacuation of the wounded from Azovstal.
4️⃣ Arseniy Fedosyuk is a 29-year-old member of the @Polk_Azov and a historian. Arseniy is injured. Shrapnel hit his leg and couldn’t be removed due to the lack of necessary equipment. Arseniy took antibiotics to prevent sepsis, and the wound healed with the fragment inside.
5️⃣ We will continue to publish the stories of the defenders of #Mariupol. And we call on the world to do everything possible to free our defenders. Glory to the heroes!🙏🏻

War may have a womanly face. Today, Ukrainian women are defending their land at the front on an equal footing with men.

Let us tell you about such heroines in more detail.

❗️ #Russian forces are attempting to secure smaller encirclements and concentrate on #Severodonetsk , according to @TheStudyofWar
Key #ISW conclusions:
▪️ #Russian forces have likely abandoned efforts to complete a single, large encirclement of #Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine. Instead, they are attempting to secure smaller encirclements and to concentrate on Severodonetsk.
▪️ #Ukrainian forces are likely conducting a controlled withdrawal southwest of #Popasna near #Bakhmut to protect Ukrainian supply lines against Russian offensives southeast of Bakhmut.

1️⃣ 💔OLENA
“How am I going to live without Ivan?” she said.
Bombs rained down on Olena’s village of Rozvazhiv, in the Kyiv region, on March 14. Her son Ivan and four others died; Olena was one of about 20 who were wounded.➡️2️⃣ Image
2️⃣ At first, “I was thinking, ‘Why did God leave me alive?’,” said Olena, 45, her soft voice breaking. Hearing Ivan was dead, she begged a neighbor to get his rifle and shoot her.

But her husband Volodymyr pleaded with her, saying he couldn’t live without her.➡️3️⃣ Image
3️⃣ Now, she endures the devastation of the loss of her child, and the physical pain of the loss of her leg, cut below the knee.

“I am still not accepting myself as I am now,” Olena said. She can’t yet imagine what it will be like to walk again.➡️4️⃣ Image

Mariupol defender Valeriya Karpylenko from Azov battalion (call sign ‘Nava’) became a fiancée, wife, and widow at the besieged Azovstal steelworks.
💔 “Andrii made me rings from tin foil at Azovstal... They were perfect...
A day here is like a year.
I was a bride, then a wife, now...
A word which is scary to say...”
💔On May 5, Valeria and Ukrainian border guard Andrii (call sign ‘Boroda’) got married.
“We got married on Azov's ‘birthday’. A border guard and an Azovette. We just did a report. Here, under bombing and shelling. But it was a happy day and a happy photo...”
