A celebrated Ukrainian medic recorded her time in Mariupol on a data card no bigger than a thumbnail, smuggled out to the world in a tampon. Now she is in Russian hands, at a time when Mariupol itself is on the verge of falling.

I think Mariupol is fallen.
Tough break, but Ukraine can recover still.
@rokkinbobokkin @Blue_Skyesr_here what a fkn shit show...fk putin. i really try not to "hate" anyone-or wish anyone serious bodily harm...but ffs...that guy is an exception.
@FayreLylith @Blue_Skyesr_here
It's okay to be angry sometimes. Fk that guy. FR
@rokkinbobokkin @Blue_Skyesr_here
istg...i just wanna cry....jfc....
you know she's being tortured...fkkkkkkkkk
@FayreLylith @rokkinbobokkin Who knows if she's still alive π
@Blue_Skyesr_here @rokkinbobokkin
I read a different article on her (I think); i suspect those fks will keep her alive...she's in the hearts of all the ppl she helped & her countrymen-they'll probably use her for propaganda.
@FayreLylith @Blue_Skyesr_here
I've never wanted to take up guns on people before this.
I imagine I might have felt the same in the 1940s. This is.....very sad and disturbing and evil.
@rokkinbobokkin @FayreLylith I have had thoughts of going there to do something! I wanted to help somehow, it feels so hopeless to see what it's going on from here! Waiting for that man to give up and bring his soldiers back home (which is never going to happen).
@Blue_Skyesr_here @FayreLylith
It won't end for some time I'm afraid, and I believe they may need more volunteers.
@rokkinbobokkin @Blue_Skyesr_here i am so afraid that you are right. I'm even more afraid that it will expand. all it would take is one shot fm russia someplace outside ukraine for all of Europe to become involved...with the US close behind...WW III-kinetic.
@FayreLylith @Blue_Skyesr_here
This will sound bad, but I wish it would. Russia would be finished and pushed back to a new border near Moscow.
I'd be okay with that.
What about nukes you say?
Let him. It would be an ender for Russia against 30+ nations all scrambling jets all day at that point.
Russia would never dig out of it in our lifetimes.
@rokkinbobokkin @FayreLylith Something needs to happen! I am not sure what would cause the least damage though...
@Blue_Skyesr_here @rokkinbobokkin If you google around you could probably find ways to support. For a while ppl were buying time in Ukrainian AirB&Bs of ppl close to the fighting-as an easy way to get money into the hands of folks trying to escape the fighting. Not sure if that's still happening tho. I'm sure there's other stuff going on.
@rokkinbobokkin @Blue_Skyesr_here ...can't argue with that...
