Defender of #Mariupol and father of five, #Viktor_Dmytrenko, has returned from his second #Russian captivity.

He was first captured back in 2014 after the battles for #Ilovaisk, where he spent nearly five months as a prisoner.

Before the war, #Viktor worked for 14 years as a crane operator at the #Illich Iron and Steel Works. After his first captivity, he decided not to return to his civilian job

🇺🇦August 29 – Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine

It was on this day in 2014 that one of the most tragic episodes of the #Russian_Ukrainian war before the full-scale invasion took place – the breakout of our soldiers from the encirclement near #Ilovaisk.

At that time, the occupiers cynically violated the agreements: #Ukrainian military personnel were shot while exiting the “#green_corridor” through the sunflower fields.

#August_29 – Remembrance Day of the Defenders of #Ukraine who died fighting for the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of #Ukraine

Eleven years ago, #Russian regular troops treacherously shot at columns of #Ukrainian soldiers who were exiting the encirclement near #Ilovaisk through a “#green_corridor.” Our defenders did not lay down their arms and attempted to break out of the trap. At that time, 366 #Ukrainian heroes fell under enemy fire.

"A long read but a good one on #Ukraine and #Mariupol!"

#Russians are preparing a large plan to build military logistics in the #Donetsk region for the spring of 2025 - advisor to #Mariupol mayor.

▪️ In particular, a new railroad line is being built to shorten the passage of freight trains from #Rostov_on_Don to #Mariupol/#Volnovakha to bypass the #Ilovaisk junction.

10 years ago today RUs treacherously violated agreement on green corridor for 🇺🇦 troops which tried to leave #Ilovaisk (#Donetsk region). Columns of UA troops have been targeted by RU paratroopers. 366 warriors died, 128 became POWs, 158 were MIA.

We will never forget.

"Today, #Ukraine honours the memory of all its defenders. All those who fought for the sake of our state, for the sake of Ukrainian independence and gave the most precious thing - their lives.

In August of the 14th year, these very days, the russian occupier committed one of the most heinous crimes of this war - killed hundreds of our soldiers near #Ilovaisk. It was a planned, cynical russian crime that Ukraine will never forget and will never leave unpunished"

"WTF? seriously, WTF?"

After the arrival of the #Russian world, a resident of #Ilovaisk has been living in a burnt barn for 10 years . She can not ask for compensation because her pension is too small to pay for the restoration of documents.

They were so worried about them for eight years that they launched a whole special operation to save them, but for some reason, life only became worse. I can't imagine why.
