How Russians searched the homes of Kherson residents during the occupation of the city. #UkraineWorldTestimony

Viktoriia Kirilova, who survived the 8-month occupation of Kherson, described how Russians searched the homes of locals and took people for interrogation. 1/12

She said that home searches could be divided into two types:

1️⃣ From 9 to 12 armed officers would enter a home. Sometimes they would say they were from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) because they were driving cars with 🇺🇦 license plates stolen from local residents. 2/12

Of course, they couldn't have been from the SBU, because the occupiers would have imprisoned or shot any SBU personnel.
If you were lucky, the hours-long interrogation would take place at your home, says Kirilova. The occupiers would pressure people to collaborate with them. 3/12

The story of Zakhar Biryukov, who was seriously injured in the war and is now undergoing treatment abroad. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/12

Zakhar Biryukov joined the defense of Ukraine in 2015 because he didn't want his country to be taken over by the Russians. Zakhar couldn’t accept that some bastards had started killing his countrymen and seizing towns and villages, so he chose to fight them. 2/12

As a soldier, Zakhar realized that a full-scale war was inevitable. He and his comrades did not know when exactly Russia would attempt a full invasion of Ukraine, but he was ready for it. 3/12

#Russian wishful thinking presents its stance on the global arena as invulnerable. Russian leaders tend to underestimate the negative effects of sanctions or ignore the fact that Russia is becoming a pariah. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies 1/4

They are trying to show an alternative geostrategic power structure, where the West doesn't play any role, but #Russia is in the center of new pole attracting Asian and African states. Is it really so? 2/4

📌Is it possible to create an alternative order in the global world where connections between all the players are too tight?

The story of Tetiana Korchahina, who left Kharkiv with her children. #UkraineWorldTestimony

📅 On 24 February 2022, Tetiana woke up to the sound of explosions and immediately thought, "Oh my God, has it really started?" 1/11

For the previous few days, all she could talk to her friends and family about was the possibility of Russia attacking Ukraine. But it was still hard for Tetiana to believe such savagery could happen in the 21st century. 2/11

She went into her living room to find her husband awake. Soon, the whole street had woken up. There were nonstop📱calls and 💬. Everyone was in shock. Tetiana didn't know what to do, even though she had been packing her go bag for over a week. Her husband insisted on it. 3/11

🏠 The story of Natalie Al Baz, whose family fled a 🇷🇺-occupied village and started a new life in an abandoned house in a small hamlet.

Before the full-scale 🇷🇺 invasion, the family lived in their new house in the village of Tsyrkuny near Kharkiv.

#UkraineWorldTestimony 1/14

On Feb. 24, 2022, the village was occupied, so they evacuated and settled in an abandoned house in a khutir (a small rural settlement).

Natalie is now restoring this house and showing the process of its renovation on her Instagram - instagram.com/khutoraesthetic 2/14

However, Natalie, her husband, and their 5-year-old daughter still had to live the first week of the war under occupation. The fact that they were able to leave was a miracle. 3/14

#Russia is hysterical about the UK's statement about providing #Ukraine with munitions with depleted uranium. Russian leadership keeps shouting about including nuclear component into the war from the NATO side. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies 1/4

They also say about "considerable damage to people and environment because of the radiation". But that's only propaganda. What the munitions with depleted uranium are in fact? They don't have anything to do with nuclear or chemical weapons. 2/4

Such munitions aren't prohibited by the UN and can be found in service with number of countries including #Russia itself (using them on the battlefield). 3/4
