russian troops shot and robbed a car with Hromadske journalist Victoria Roshchina. She wrote about this on her Facebook page.
According to Victoria, she and the driver of the car came across a convoy of russian tanks in Zaporizhzhia region.
“Then – the roaring of tanks, the white letter Z, the flag of the rf. They drove around the corner and moved in our direction. The driver and I backed off and tried to turn around. The russians began to fire actively on us. Bullets, and then hot projectiles. Fortunately, they were flying past us. I gave the command to stop, abandon the car and lie down in the field. But the convoys were coming towards us, and our rescue became an abandoned house behind which we waited for russian vehicles to pass by,” she wrote.
“While we were hiding, our car was opened. There was a PRESS sticker. They took my laptop, camera, backpack, the driver’s cigarettes, too,” the journalist said.
She noted that she was left without phone connection and surrounded.
“Tanks on both sides of the village. We are surrounded and unable to pass information. The worst thing about occupation is the night. Dawn still gives you hope for the best. For us it did not start with shelling or the basement. About 150 russian vehicles moved towards our peaceful villages. “I went on a reconnaissance mission on foot. Because of the stress, I didn’t feel tired, cold, or afraid. A lot happened after that. And there is definitely more to come,” Roshchina wrote.
She also added that they were rescued by some good people.
“I went into the regions to tell the story of what was going on there and what the people who have been living without communication all this time, under the barrel of machine guns, hail and the roar of russian tanks, think. In small villages and towns, the occupiers feel like ‘heroes.’ They shoot civilians, set cars on fire, kill, loot, they turn people’s lives into hell, they traumatize the psyche of children. I will never forgive russia. Never,” the journalist wrote.
