In the occupied part of Kherson region, local "authorities" have announced a hunt for children who still attend Ukrainian schools. - Андрущенко Time reported

They are persecuting children for their language. And don’t you dare say this isn’t genocide.

Just before Christmas our dog got very sick. She needed surgery and blood transfusions. She spent 4 days in intensive care. The hospital bill cost a fortune, all our savings and more. So this year my husband and I didn't get each other Christmas presents.

Please keep your fingers crossed for this sweet girl. She is currently in the clinic undergoing blood transfusions and surgery. It won't be a merry Christmas without her by my side.
