Russian occupation policy has not been changing for centuries. All those captured by the Russians are immediately deprived of their native language and culture. Education of the occupied is the greatest crime in the eyes of the occupiers. Therefore, in Moscow-controlled territories, Ukrainian books are burned and Ukrainian teachers are tortured. This important detail proves the genocidal nature of this war and, unfortunately, has not received an appropriate response from the international community yet.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe in our victory. We\u2019ll restore everything, but sadly, we won\u2019t return everyone.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What makes people happy in their usual world is, among other things, when they are needed and useful to their community. But what happens to them when they suddenly lose everything: their native land, home, job, and often their family and social circle? And in addition to all those trials, they have to suffer in Russian torture chambers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met the protagonist of this article, Kateryna (her name has been deliberately changed because the woman is worried about the safety of her family and friends who are still in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region), shortly after she fled the occupation and barely recovered from the horror and suffering she had experienced. We talked about the meaning of life, the ability to resist and the burning desire to work for victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The occupiers started a criminal case against her \u2013 \u201cfor sabotage and destabilization\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The school principal\u2019s authority in the village is unrivalled, especially in a school that was famous throughout the Yakymivska community, the Melitopol district, the Zaporizhzhia region, for its innovations and high graduation rates. So Kateryna, the principal, was known and respected by everyone. She taught several generations of villagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
