A lot has been said about the grand scale of the war, but always good to be aware of what happens from a civilian's perspective. Some horrible footage of civilian infrastructure being targeted and is a sobering reminder of the brutality of the Russians and why the Western foot must never be taken off their throat. Particularly disturbing is how these women feared being raped by Russians soldiers using their dicks as weapons and what they did to prevent/prepare for it. Also shows the stress of not knowing if the next sound you hear is a missile headed your way. Heartbreaking stuff to watch, but also reinvigorated us to never give up fighting the invading force.
Some brutal scenes from Kharkiv, where I personally have been many times and my wife's home city. Seeing places I have stood, eaten and walked around being destroyed was infuriating. Wife can relate to how these women feel and it was very emotional for her watching this.
Recommend watching this if you want to see some refugee's perspective.
