Amstor is a quite popular place, with many people. It has around 400 employees, and all of the shops were working. The parking lot was not as empty as seen in the video after the explosion - the cars immediately began to leave (after the attack).
Everyone pays attention to the air raid alarm to a different degree. In Amstor, the staff tries to go out, although, of course, not all of them, many feel it's hot outside and they aren't keen on running back and forth (ed.: there are multiple air raid sirens each day). Often, during an alarm, visitors asked the girls (at a coffee shop) to make coffee for them... They say that one of the baristas is in the hospital.
During each alarm when my colleagues did not want to go out, I said: “imagine if we go out and it saves o

Наталия, оптометрист «Люксоптики» в торговом центре «Амстор»:

«АМСТОР» -ДОВОЛЬНО ПОПУЛЯРНОЕ МЕСТО. МНОГО ЛЮДЕЙ. Около 400 человек только сотрудников, магазины все работают. Парковка не была настолько пустая, как видно на видео после взрыва, просто машины сразу начали уезжать.
КАЖДЫЙ ПО-РАЗНОМУ ОБРАЩАЕТ ВНИМАНИЕ НА (ВОЗДУШНУЮ) ТРЕВОГУ. В «Амсторе» персонал старается выходить, хотя, конечно, не все, многим жарко на улице и не хочется бегать туда-сюда. Часто посетители во время тревоги просили девочек варить им кофе... Говорят, что одна из них сейчас в больнице.
КАЖДУЮ ТРЕВОГУ. КОГДА МОИ КОЛЛЕГИ НЕ ХОТЕЛИ ВЫХОДИТЬ. Я ГОВОРИЛА: «ПРЕДСТАВЬТЕ. ОДНАЖДЫ МЫ ВЫЙДЕМ И ЭТО СПАСЕТ НАМ ЖИЗНЬ». Эта фраза очень мотивировала, и мы все выходили.
ВЧЕРА Я ПРИШЛА НА РАБОТУ НЕМНОГО РАНЬШЕ (ОБЫЧНОГО). Взяла вкусный кофе, вошла в кабинет, надела новый халат. Прозвучала первая тревога. Я стараюсь всегда выходить. Мы с администратором магазина переждали тревогу и вернулись на работу.
У МЕНЯ БЫЛА КЛИЕНТК

"I'm sorry, but your husband died today while storming a building." That's what Yulia Chubasheva, the wife of Alexei Chubashev, heard on the telephone on June 10.
It seemed that people like Alexei could not die. But the assault in Severodonetsk was his last battle.

Alexei was familiar to thousands of our military members. They knew and respected him. Chubashev is known as the author of the Recruit UA program, the former head of Army FM and the Military Television of Ukraine. Alexey was a military journalist by education.

In 2008 he entered the Ivan Bohun Kyiv military lyceum. In 2009, he was a participant in the military parade on the occasion of Independence Day. In 2010, he enrolled in military journalism at the Military Institute of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

His first rotation to the ATO (anti-terrorist operation in Eastern Ukraine) area was in 2015. In the same year, he began serving in the Ce

Український ветеранський фонд (@veteranfundua):
"Мені дуже шкода, але ваш чоловік загинув сьогодні при штурмі будівлі". Ці слова почула в телефонній слухавці 10 червня Юлія Чубашева,дружина Олексія Чубашева.
Здавалося, що такі,як Олексій, не можуть гинути. Але той штурм у Сєвєродонецьку став його останнім боєм.

Олексія знали тисячі наших військових. Знали та поважали. Чубашев відомий як автор програми “Рекрут UA”, колишній керівник “Армії FM” та Військового телебачення України. За освітою Олексій — військовий журналіст.

У 2008 році вступив до Київського військового ліцею імені Івана Богуна. У 2009 році був учасником військового параду з нагоди Дня Незалежності. У 2010 році вступив на військову журналістику до Військового інституту Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка.

Перша ротація в район проведення АТО — в 2015 році. Того ж року почав служити у Центральній телерадіостудії Міноборони, автор і ведучий першого в Україні військового реа

From Demsokyra:
Three months of captivity.
Three months without any news.
Three months drag on like a lifetime.

The day begins and ends with a single prayer - "survive, endure, and fight." And this prayer is for Ukraine and Tyra.

And she definitely fights, because I don't know any people in this life who are stronger in spirit.

Aside from the shameful and twisted libels on Russian TV, there have been no more reports about Yulia from that corner of the feral scum. There, they mold her, a civilian volunteer paramedic, into an image of a war criminal without the right to a defense.

Ukraine is mourning one of its most prominent civil activists, Roman Ratushniy, who was killed by russian occupants. From the first days of the full-scale invasion, he took arms to fight the aggressor. Last week he was captured and shot in gross violation of the international laws.
Roman spent 9 years fighting corruption, injustice and Russian subversion in Ukraine. At the age of 15 he became one of the youngest victims of police brutality during the Maidan Revolution. In 2021, the ECHR upheld his claim, recognizing that his right to peaceful protest had been violated.
In 2019, he launched NGO Protect Protasiv Yar, which fought against illegal construction of 3 high-rise buildings in the recreational zone of Kyiv. As a result of his fearless opposition to construction tycoons, he was persecuted and received several death threats from criminals.
Roman was an avid supporter of the fight for justice in Ukraine. He had consecutively partic

From https://www.facebook.com/save.protas/:
On June 9, in a battle near Izyum, the leader of our community, the head of the NGO “Protect Protasiv Yar” and a scout of the 93rd brigade “Cold Ravine”, Roman Ratushny, died.
Roman was the best of us, courageos, who was always the first in any fight and never showed fear. It so happened that in his last battle he was in reconnaissance patrol as part of a combat group and died during a combat mission.
“The more Russians we kill now, the fewer Russians our children will have to kill” - this thesis Roman asked to remember and spread, not long before June 9.
On July 5, Roman was supposed to turn 25... He was a patriot his entire life: a participant in the Revolution of Dignity at the age of 15, a well-known and admired public activist, headed an NGO, confronted oligarchs and crooks, and had a YouTube channel.
From the first day of the full-scale Russian invasion, Roman took part in the battles near Kyiv, and then, as part of the 93rd Brigade "

Якщо ви думаєте, що уявляєте масштаб катастрофи у Маріуполі від злочинів росії, то, запевняю, навіть близько не уявляєте.

Ми, медики, цілодобово під обстрілами ворожої авіації та артилерії намагаємося допомагати не лише військовим, а й цивільним. Бо швидкі вже не їздять і ніхто нікому не допомагає.

А чи не кожна бомба, град, руйнування - це не просто поранені. Це відірвані руки і ноги, вибиті очі, розірвані осколками тіла, випадаючі нутрощі... Я розумію, це боляче слухати, бо серед поранених і загиблих, можливо, ваші рідні і близькі.

Але слухайте, бо ви маєте розуміти ситуацію і діяти. Нагадувати про Маріуполь. Кричати про нього. Бо ми не хочемо бути героями і мучениками посмертно.

RIP Olena Kushnir (Alona Noviska).

If you think that you understand the scale of the catastrophe in Mariupol from the crimes of Russia, then, I assure you, you don't even imagine.

We, the medics, try to help not only the military, but also the civilians around the clock under enemy air raids and artillery fire. Because there's no more ambulances, and no one helps anyone.

Every bomb, MRL, destruction - it's not "just" the wounded. Arms and legs are torn off, eyes gouged out, torn body parts, entrails falling out... I understand, it hurts to listen, because among the wounded and dead, perhaps, are your family and friends.

But keep listening, because you have to understand the situation, and act. Remind people about Mariupol. Shout about it. For we do not want to be heroes and martyrs posthumously.

Anya, this is fucked. I was walking home --inaudible from where-- not through the neighborhoods in a straight line but along the street. These scumbags stopped by me "to get to know me", I didn't react. Next thing everything is foggy. I don't want to live. I don't know what to do. They (I think the government) know that they (ruSSian soldiers) are raping us and nobody does anything about it. I wish they all die suffering
