At Last Ukranians who are freed can say 'We came back from hell', after years in Russia-occupied front-line city of Oleshyy
'We came back from hell', say Ukrainians after years in Russia-occupied front-line city
Disembarking alongside her from a coach in the Ukrainian region of Chernihiv with their immediate family and dog, her husband Viacheslav put it this way: "We came back from hell."
The couple were among hundreds of residents evacuated from the Russian-occupied city who crossed into northern Ukraine via Belarus on Saturday, many reuniting with loved ones they had not seen for years.
Oleshky, seized by Russia during the first few days of its full-scale invasion in February 2022, is trapped on one side by the Dnipro River and on the other side by Russian forces.
Olha and Viacheslav had lived there with their son and daughter, both in their 30s. Even as the shelling around them intensified, they feared that trying to escape could be even more dangerous, with routes mined and subject to drone attack.
As supplies dwindled, the couple said they made an attempt to find food by crossing through minefields earlier this month. "People were stepping on mines, dying and being maimed, all just to survive," Olha says. Those who were too afraid to go out in the city had resorted to cooking garden weeds to survive. "We saw that the situation wasn't getting any better, so we realised we had to get out," Olha said.

Muslims Behead 100,000 Christians for Refusing to Spit on Christ" by Raymond Ibrahim - THE SO-CALLED RELIGION OF LOVE AND PEACE!
On October 31 1226, severed heads and bloodstained costumes become seasonal entertainment. But October 31 also appears on the Orthodox calendar as the commemoration of Christians whose severed heads were no theatrical props—and whose Muslim executioners offered a brutally simple escape: renounce Christ.
In other words, while the modern West plays at demons and ghosts, the Georgian Orthodox Church remembers a genuine demonic spectacle: the systematic slaughter of 100,000 Christians who refused to abandon Jesus Christ.On October 31 1226, severed heads and bloodstained costumes become seasonal entertainment.

In other words, while the modern West plays at demons and ghosts, the Georgian Orthodox Church remembers a genuine demonic spectacle: the systematic slaughter of 100,000 Christians who refused to abandon Jesus Christ.
In March 1226, the Khwarazmian sultan Jalal al-Din Mingburnu, leading an army of Turkmen, captured the Georgian capital of Tbilisi after local (fifth column) Muslims opened the city gates at night. What followed was not ordinary wartime pillage. It was a deliberate genocide of Christians—one of many that have been deliberately hid from you. The Georgian account describes the scene with unsparing clarity:
Words are powerless to convey the destruction that the enemy wrought: tearing infants from their mothers’ breasts, they beat their heads against the bridge, watching as their eyes dropped from their skulls…
A river of blood flowed through the streets during this orgy of sadism. The Muslims castrated young boys, systematically raped women, and stabbed mothers to death over the lifeless bodies of their children. The whole city shuddered with wailing. The Mtkvari River and the streets ran red.
What Sultan Jalal al-Din did next turned the massacre into an explicit test of faith—one that still stands as a clear historical example of jihadist terror against Christians who refused to renounce Christ.
