I have no doubt that the russians are committing genocide against the people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian nation. Every moment I remind myself that I could be killed by a bomb. However, there are people who are in even greater danger now.

"We call on the United Nations, the UN Secretary-General, as well as regional leaders from around the world, to start an immediate Extraction procedure for the evacuation of civilians, all the wounded, the bodies of the dead and Ukrainian servicemen from the blocked Mariupol."

The combat space is the total space of war. Briefly: during the last night of April 27-28 on Azovstal, the russian side carried out: a massive air strike with the participation of 7 Tu-22M aircraft, then 50 air strikes from Su-25/24 aircraft, a bomb attack on the place where the seriously wounded are: rubble and people, dead and secondarily injured, under it.

The sketches were made from nature in the besieged Mariupol during the stay in the city in the first two months of the war (a full-scale invasion). In general, in the first months of a full-scale invasion, I dealt with purely survival issues and, fortunately, succeeded in this. I was able to keep my sight, arms and legs and not get a bullet to the brain, or die of hypothermia and poisoning.

After I got to Kyiv at the beginning of April, I started making drawings and publishing them with the text of poems or addresses of commanders on social networks. These publications were my appeals, my reaction to the war events to attract and focus attention, particularly on Mariupol and its defenders.

In this way, I felt involved in a common cause, and therefore in victory. Physically, my body was in Kyiv, and my heart was in Mariupol.

Next, an address from the commander of the "AZOV" regiment, Lt. Col. Denys Prokopenko, dated April 18, 2022:
"City theatre, maternity hospital, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and houses were destroyed by those who now offer civilians evacuation and safety. These are the same people. And nobody believes these bastards. Therefore, I urge the politicians of all civilised world to organize a proper "green corridor", ensure its safety and provide immediate evacuation and protection of civilians, wounded soldiers, and bodies of dead soldiers, to bury them with honours."
They found their only available shelter next to the Ukrainian soldiers, who are still defending the city from russian invaders.
Russian occupational forces, and their proxy from "lnr/dnr" know about civilians, and they keep their fire on the factory willingly. They use free-fall bombs, rockets, bunker-buster bombs, and all varieties of artillery, both ground and naval for indiscriminate attacks.

What is my city like now? The news I hear from there is surprisingly strange. About 120,000 people remained in the city under russian occupation.
