Kharkiv Oblast Village: How people live after Russian occupation (video)
In the plot "Public Kharkiv" showed how people who made the decision not to leave there. Galina Ivleva lived peacefully in this settlement of Kharkiv region. In the fall of 2022, when the village was liberated by Ukrainian troops from the Russian occupation, they and husband Alexander returned home from evacuation, but now they are forced to live in the garage, because it is actually everything that survived with the cellar.
In March 2022, they decided to leave, because the enemy destroyed the wall in their home. All six months Galina dreamed of returning faster in the small Komyshivah, because she was her homeland. "They were not at home for six months, they were crying for six months. At first they reached Barvinkovo in the village of Native. The moon we were there, and when shellings began there, then they went to Dnipropetrovsk - a aunt there," says a local resident.
The house of Galina and Alexander was beaten by shelling. It turned out that Russian invaders lived in the yard during the occupation. There was heavy equipment in the territory, and the garbage was lying around, as you can see in the photos. The family decided to lay a destroyed wall in the house with boxes from under enemy ammunition. Currently, 19 cats and a dog live with them.
Some of them lived with a couple before the fighting began, and the rest were forced to look for a new home, because their owners left or died. In total, the Little King District had 9 villages, but after the Great War, they began to turn into "ghosts", as Yuri Tretyakov told journalists. There are no communications completely, infrastructure was destroyed, and the houses remained the ruins themselves.
If about 1000 inhabitants lived in the settlements in the settlements, now there are five times less - 182. "There is a village where no resident is a village of Kopanka. Two people live in Semenivka, two people in Patakivka. Suligovka is up to six or four to four people, where all other villages are destroyed by 90%, so people do not return, "Yuri Tretyakov said. In the village, Mala Komyshivakhah, from where Galina and Alexander came from, also lived 140, but now there were only 15.
There was a paramedic point, from which the soldiers of the Armed Forces made the toilet. In addition, broken schools, club, shops. That is, nothing is left. There is little about the prospects of the head of the district, but it hopes that this year it will be possible to return electricity to settlements. Yuri Tretyakov shares that various charitable organizations continue to assist the products of the remaining residents. They bring water and bread about once a week.
Humanitarian aid is received once a month. Accordingly, everything is adjusted with the products, and water from the well. Volunteers also help to put windows in the homes of the locals, as well as firewood. At the same time, Alexander confesses that they are not quite enough, so we have to go to the forest with those places where the sappers have already gone. Separately, the local resident shared that they and Galina receive a minimum pension and try to save on everything to survive.
Currently, all funds are delayed to restore the house. "We hope for the help of volunteers because construction is very expensive. We bought used bricks. We have a problem - there is no sand. But they say that builders go with everything with their mixtures," Alexander continued. Despite the difficult state of affairs, as Ms. Galina says, they are not going to leave the village, because to start everything with a pure sheet is allegedly late.
