In occupied Oleshky, stray dogs dig up graves and drag pieces of human flesh—that’s how they feed. There is no fuel, no medicine, and no food left in the city. Russian soldiers, hiding and disguising themselves among locals, loot and snatch the last crumbs of food because they are starving too. Anyone who resists is killed. Supplies of food and medicine last made it here back in May. The occupiers either shoot up relief vehicles or turn them back at checkpoints. Out of the 24,000 residents who lived here prior to the invasion, only about 2,000 remain. Most are elderly, low-mobility people and their caregivers, along with 47 children. But even if someone wanted to evacuate, it is currently impossible. The only way out is dubbed the "road of death": it is heavily mined, constantly hunted from above by Russian drones, littered with uncollected corpses being dragged by dogs, and lined with charred burnt-out cars. People somehow scraped through the summer eating home-grown cucumbers and tomatoes. They filled up on squash pancakes and eggplant patties. But in a week or so, the harvest season ends, and that’s it. Panic and even suicidal despair are taking over—because people simply cannot bear looking into the eyes of starving children, helpless seniors under 85, or the sick and maimed. hromadske.ua/en/society/2714…

Je vous rappelle que la Russie est une puissance nucléaire. Je sais bien que dans les salons parisiens, les petits marquis expliquent qu’il faut faire la guerre à la Russie. Moi, pour ma part, je ne souhaite faire la guerre à aucune puissance nucléaire.
