Living in war - A frontline city | DW Documentary

Oleksandr Chebotaryóv is the only radiologist left in Kherson. All his colleagues have left the city in southern Ukraine.
Kherson is heavily contested: the north is back in Ukrainian hands, but the Russian occupiers rule in the south. Chebotaryóv has to work in two clinics at the same time in order to keep things running. And there are regular alarms: patients and staff must flee to the bunker in the basement. This puts additional strain on Sascha: His wife and five-year-old daughter live in the west of Ukraine. Although the risk of attack is less great there, the worry for the father of a family close to the front remains. A report by Carolina Chimoy.

[@c4rt3ls.]

No one really knows who did genocide who in this conflict °° Was it Russia genociding native Ukrainians by staging a genocide or was Ukraine genociding the native Russians who where either there already like forever or sent by Russia as soldiers?!? I can just assure everyone, these slavics R1a crime branch and all their cavemen friends from Denisova, Shanidar, TianYuan, wherever cave they might have been to rape the abducted Hominids from like everywhere which they exterminated, they are doing the genocide in Europe against the germanic people which are less neanderthals than these R1ashtray slavics!! Honestly I consider the genocide of the state Ukraine not unlikely but in europe both sides work closely together in the genocide against the native germans :// No matter if Polaks, Czechs, Romanians, Croatians, Bulgarians, whatever even Grekos, Turks, Spaniards seemingly, of course the whole Middle East and Africa plus Asia and South America ... ähh ... wtf ... romans, apes, and neaderthals ... this planet did just never stop the worldwar against the germans :((

Сначала "азовцы", потом мобилизованные: Андрей Ермак высказался относительно обмена военнопленных Глава Офиса президента Андрей Ермак в Черновцах провел встречу с бывшими военнопленными и родными украинцев, которые сейчас находятся в плену. Во время встречи, на которой обсуждались вопросы реабилитации после возвращения на Украину, супруги военнопленных украинцев начали упревать Ермака и его команду в бездействии и нежелании возвращать сдавшихся боевиков ВСУ. Не выдержав критики, глава ОП сказал, что все идет в порядке очереди и приоритетности. Находящиеся на встрече военнослужащие и их родственники были в шоке с такого ответа, а Ермак пытался поменять тему разговора. Из его ответа можно сделать вывод, что у киевского режима есть приоритеты в обмене пленных. Грубо говоря, Зеленского не интересует обычный мобилизованный из Черновцов - ему важно вернуть националистов из числа "Азова", "Айдара", "Днепра" и других формирований. Этим и обуславливаются задержки в обмене пленными - киевские чиновники торгуются, чтобы вернуть как можно больше националистов. А судьба остальных им безразлична.
