What is a terrorist state? It's a state which shells appartment buildings and private houses, and as a result people of all ages - from little babies to elderlies - die unable to protect themselves. 1/4
It's a state which kills people who are trying to escape from the horrors of war this very state brought shooting directly at them or sending bombs to railways stations. It's a state which deprives people of normal conditions of life. 2/4
It's a state which loots, tortures, rapes, murders. It's a state which caused the tragedies of Bucha, Kharkiv, Izium, Kherson, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Marinka, Bakhmut and many other cities and towns. 3/4
It's also a state which is trying to accuse others, especially its victim, of the crimes it keeps commiting itself. 4/4 #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies

The story of Serhiy and his mother from the village of Kamyanka, Kharkiv Oblast. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/13
The small village of Kamyanka lies between Izyum and Sloviansk. After the full-scale Russian invasion, its landscape is truly apocalyptic. There is not a single house left standing in the village. Each and every one has been completely destroyed. 2/13
Their village holds only ruins: ruins of houses, shops, destroyed farming equipment, and skeletons of cows. There are many burned out and blown up military vehicles on the roadsides. At first it seems that there is not a single living creature left. But this is not so. 3/13
In #Borodianka, Kyiv oblast, a new burial of civilians killed by the Russian military during the occupation in February-March 2022 was detected. The bodies of three murdered men were found in one grave. 1/1 nv.ua/ukr/ukraine/ev…
The burial was made by a local resident during the occupation, around March 8, 2022. Together with a friend, he found the bodies of local residents who were shot by the occupiers and was able to make a temporary burial. 1/2
A 50-year-old local resident is among the killed civilians. Russians shot him in the car, after which it burned down. The other two victims have not yet been identified. They were probably shot in the head. One man had pencil in his pocket, another had comb and other things.1/3
The story of Maria Ivanyuk, who managed to leave an occupied village in Kyiv Oblast with her son. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/13
Maria had prepared in advance for a possible full-scale 🇷🇺 invasion. A few weeks before Feb. 24, she already had bags packed with everything she needed. She always took documents and a 🎒 with a basic supply of food, medicine, and other important things when she went out. 2/13
On February 24, Maria and her husband woke up to explosions. They immediately understood where they were from. Then her husband got a phone call and they knew that Russia had indeed started a full-scale war. 3/13
On the 1st day of the full-scale 🇷🇺 invasion, Iryna and her husband were in shock and didn't know what to do. They had 2 children, 7 and 9 years old. In the next 2 days, they waited for a planned evacuation, but they couldn't contact the city council to clarify the details. 2/13
On the third day, electricity problems began in Bucha. Since Iryna's family had not prepared for life at war, they had to resort to using expensive perfumed candles to light the underground parking garage where they were hiding from Russian bombs and shells. 3/13
