This is how Ukrainians experience the Russian invasion in the first person: “It gives us hope that the capital will resist”

During the Russian invasion, we are hearing overwhelming testimonies from Ukrainians who have experienced, on the ground or from a distance, their country’s resistance to the Putin regime.

It is the case of Maria, who celebrated his birthday this Saturday away from his home and his father, who is part of the resistance. She is now taking refuge, like many other Ukrainians, east of the capital.

To verify that his father is alive, he has a particular method, an emoticon that simplifies communications when the situation gets complicated.

In laSexta Noche we learned the story of Kyrylo, who traveled from Altea to Kiev to fight despite the concern of his family. “Life goes on. There are many people who walk their dogs. It doesn’t feel like a ghost town,” Julia also tells us.

The territorial forces recruit men up to 55 years old, but there are exceptions, such as Olga’s father, who is 71, and whom they call ‘Grandpa‘. His courage also inspires some citizens who, unarmed, have the occupants of their city.
