Well, I can finally sit down and write down what happened.
On January 14, 2023, my city was attacked by a Russian X-22 missile. Entering a residential building. In a house where there were a lot of people, where people celebrated a holiday or just rested on their day off. I heard it. I saw. I was there. I will not forgive.
As soon as the explosion sounded, I called an ambulance and said what I saw, because it could be said for sure that the rocket hit a place where there was nothing but ordinary residential buildings.
I went to that house to find out what was there and how. Help, maybe.
When I arrived, I did not expect to see THIS. There is a hole in the house and there are no two entrances.
There was just chaos, a bunch of people under the rubble, from which cries for help can be heard. It was heard how people tried to shout to their relatives, but there was no answer. Jackets, children's toys, furniture were scattered.
I approached and asked what I could do with one of the rescuers. I was asked to calm the old people and stay with them if they feel bad. I saw how a man with a completely bloodied back was pulled out from under the rubble. I saw severed body parts. A couple of women and one child, who were taken away in a serious condition.
I stood with one grandfather, who didnβt get so hard and he was waiting for his wife to be found. I donβt know how I should have remained cool and with a sober head when grandfather stood in front of me, who caught the Second World War and now stands with a bloodied hand, worrying about his wife. Thankfully, she was found. She miraculously survived. When the old people felt a little better and their relatives took them, I asked if they needed something else. But due to the fact that I did not have a medical education, my maximum was just to buy water and leave, so as not to create unnecessary chaos and crowds. I bought water for 0.5 (how much I had in my pocket - I spent so much) and went home so as not to interfere with the professionals.
A couple of times I came again, but there were already hundreds of people who helped and waited for instructions.
At the moment, 76 wounded and 14 killed are known.
After that, do you still think about loyalty to Russia and their people? Look at the photos from my city, from all over Ukraine.
I apologize in advance for my English, I translate something with the help of a translator, because it is very difficult to think soberly in such a situation.

I am so sorry this is happening and that anyone must bear witness to it. But in doing so you will know and be able to tell the truth of what happened in this crazy period of history. Helping where you can is brave of you. Not everyone would leave the comparative safety of home to where something like this just happened.
Thank you for the link to your paper, I will check it every day as I do my own. Be strong, please keep writing about your experience if it helps you. It helps us to know.
As for your english, you and your translator are very good.
