Thank you for the wonderful translation! I think of this poem every time I check the air raid alerts map and read it like “Підтвердьте що ви - людина”.

Last night, russia murdered a 7yo boy in Zaporizhzhia and brought a lot of damage to the Ukrainian energy system attempting to freeze us into capitulation in winter.

This won't stop until russia tastes its own pill. Every effort to manage escalation has only led to impunity and more escalation.

On Sept 28, a russian drone killed nurse Oksana Katerusha from the Kyiv cardiology institute.

Following protocols, all patients and staff moved to the shelter when the air raid began. But one man's condition deteriorated there. Oksana took the risk & went upstairs to help & there both were killed.

⚡️ Russians are deliberately targeting civilians in Ukraine's Kherson.

Drone attacks on cars and buses are becoming more frequent as Moscow’s troops continue their “human safari” tactics against people just trying to move around.

russia — a permanent member of the UN Security Council — has recently bombed a cardiology hospital, attacked a passenger train, erased entire residential neighborhoods, cut electricity that powered Europe's largest nuclear power plant and now actively aims to freeze Ukraine in winter.
