So, the main book of my life - "The Torture Camp on Paradise Street" - is available for purchase at the link below. There is no fictional plot in it: it is a non-fiction book describing the events in the Russian concentration camp "Izolyatsia" in Donetsk.

"Peace plans" appear when you live by a calculator, and a victory plan appears when you have values in your life.
It's probably no use trying to explain to Trump that his peace plan will lead to a bigger war in a few years. Even if he could realize this, it would hardly bother him.

Yesterday I spoke to hundred of American students at Ukraine House in Denmark in Copenhagen.

This video is almost exactly the same as the moment I was wounded: a mortar attack, guided by a drone, contusion and another 20 minutes underground (under a train car in the video) with shrapnel in my neck before the drone flew away.
Turn on the sound to hear what modern war sounds like.

This is what the house looks like now, where I once rented an apartment to rest after returning from combat.
The apartment was rented out at insane prices, and the owners didn't hide the fact that this was payment for the fact that it would one day no longer exist, as if AFU were to blame
