Russia’s terror of the Ukrainians stops at nothing. The latest episode is to be told Zinaida Makishaiva, 82yearold who challenged the army Wladimir Putin. He ordered the woman, “Go to the basement, old woman,” but she rebelled. “Now that my dreams are happier, I can say it: I couldn’t have survived without my chickens, I have them to thank,” he told Reuters.
Little remains of his hometown of Borodyanka. Around Zinaida only rubble: “The doors of the houses explained the bombings had been swept away. There was no more water, gas and food: nothing at all”. A dramatic situation, especially because, like in many houses, there was no food: “I only had a few potatoes left. So I decided to bring the chickens in and let them lay the eggs.” She’s convinced they’re the ones who saved her.
“The troops came in three different waves, but the first was the most brutal. They went in and They ordered me to stay in the basement.” For a month, Zinaida was left alone talking to her dog and cat. Then the Ukrainians recaptured the city near Kyiv and calm returned, so to speak: “Now I go out, walk more than three hours a day and get food help from the church in the city.” Hence the hope: “I pray, that this is all over and the fighting will never return.”
