I created this account during the early days of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine to inform the world about russian war crimes against civilians. Over two years of nearly daily reporting, I've reached a point where I must pause for the sake of my mental well-being. 1/5 As a sensitive and empathic person, the horror and grief that russia brings to the people of Ukraine has deeply affected me. The recent tragedy in Odesa triggered a nervous breakdown in me, a clear sign that it's time for me to take a rest for my soul & mind. 2/5

A thread I wrote with trembling hands. I feel exactly the same as I did in February 2022. I want to scream, beg, and cry, doing everything possible just so that my cry for help is heard and my hometown of Kharkiv is protected.

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who died during the #Holodomor. It was the genocide of Ukrainians, organized by the USSR in 1932-1933, the purpose of which was to suppress resistance to the communist regime and to eradicate Ukrainians as an independent nation.

🧵Recently, I have become more followers, so I decided to briefly tell about myself.
My name is Iryna and I'm from Kharkiv 🇺🇦. Russians are destroying my hometown, so I had to leave home and go to Vinnytsia until Kharkiv will be safe again. In June, my parents and I were in a terrible car accident. I had a broken cervical spine, a dislocation of a vertebra and a ruptured intervertebral disc. My mother had two broken legs, an arm, a hand, a nose, and she had a concussion. Luckily my dad wasn't hurt.
