If you happened to be in Stanislav or Oleksandrivka near Kherson, you probably saw the famous Stanislav rocks. Now you\u2019ll hardly recognize the picturesque village. The same can be said about the legendary Chornobayivka, known not only for its poultry farm. It was here that the already destroyed Kherson International Airport was located.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olena Pimenova and Serhiy Bukach left Kherson in spring, having survived the first months of the city\u2019s occupation. Almost immediately, they began helping local volunteers, who continue to support life in Kherson by delivering medicines, food, hygiene products, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are warriors of light, like all Ukrainians, regardless of where they are now, because as long as humanity exists, its good half will always fight against evil. In this fight, everyone chooses their own weapon. For Olena and Serhiy, those weapons are T-shirts, stamps and puzzles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire city held hostage<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Seven months have passed since russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and all this time Kherson has been under occupation. Some communities in the Kherson region have been under constant russian shelling since the first days – some villages and towns have simply been wiped off the face of the earth, and in some there are still people who cannot leave and live in fear all the time: elderly people, people with disabilities, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city was captured so quickly that the people had no time to come to their senses before they were taken hostage by the invaders. All this time, there have been no official \u201cgreen corridors\u201d to leave the city or communities of the region. Every day it was harder and harder to find food, medicines, and hygiene products. Volunteers take people to Kherson and nearby communities at their own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no official data on how many people remained in Kherson and the region after the occupation began, but various sources say roughly the same: about half left. So another half stay at home and wait for their communities to be liberated. Some people are engaged in volunteering: they help those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately after leaving Kherson, Olena and Serhiy began helping volunteers who remained in Kherson and support life in the city and the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olena has long been fond of photography and has her own Facebook page Photo by Pimenova<\/a>. Serhiy is a designer. Therefore, they created a number of prints for T-shirts, shoppers, caps and other things with Kherson symbols and set up their production in Kryvyi Rih.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
