16-year-old Roman Biletsky died as a result of russian shelling of the Pozhnia village in Sumy Oblast on October 26.
The grandfather said that when the shots started, the boy ran to save his goats, which were grazing in the garden.
"He loved animals very much, raised ducks and goats. He kept two goats, given to him by local residents.
When the shelling began, he remembered that his goats were tied to the cuttings in the garden. He ran to save them, managed to put them in the stall, remove the chains. Then he tried to enter the house because there were loud shots.
At the moment when he climbed onto the wing, already opened the door to the corridor, a shell flew by. The projectile landed on our haystack in the garden. The explosion did not take place on the ground, but on top of the roof, on the slate. He was struck in the lungs, vomited everything. And in the leg," recalls the grandfather.
Roman's grandfather has 1 group of disabilities, his grandson came to take care of him, helped with the household.
"It was my only hope and support. I hoped very much for Romochka, for my grandson. And my last hope was taken away," he says.

I’m so fucking tired.
We shouldn’t be “racist” to Russian. We shouldn’t be “xenophobic” to them. We shouldn’t be russophobic. We should have helped them. We should be more accepting. We must be forgiving. We cannot have a trauma response. We cannot avoid Russian.
We cannot do that and that. Also that.
We must do that and that. Also, that.
We cannot complain. We cannot show our suffering. We are at fault. We must negotiate. We must be silent. We have all deserved. We should have been destroyed. We need to understand. We need to be grateful.
Today I had to publicly defend a Ukrainian 14-year old child simply because he feels uncomfortable to engage with Russian art accounts. Child whose country for most of his life is at war with Russia. Child who spent night sheltering from rockets.
But he doesn’t have a right to be uncomfortable with oppressors.
He is xenophobic.
He is racist.
But Russians that arrived at his posts and started mocking him, are not.
“They are victims of bullying, so it is justified response”
Everyone can have a justified response. Everyone, except us. Because we must be a perfect victim. Or not victim at all? Maybe we are the one that attacked? Maybe we are nazis? There would be always 1001 arguments we do not deserve to be called victims.
World was watching us suffering for centuries. They disarmed us, left us defenceless and then, didn’t even help us a lot until we started screaming. Sometimes I feel that even now, people are still watching at us like at some drama, putting million expectations.
I’m feeling absolutely helpless. Whatever we do, we cannot do. No matter how we react, we should have reacted differently.
We owe everyone everything and no one owes us anything. Wonderful world to live in.
I’m losing motivation. I’m losing hope. I want to scream and cry. But it is also hopeless.
Why us? Why now? Why?
The girls singing in this video were killed in a missile attack on Zaporizhzhia an hour after the performance 💔
Svitlana Semeikina and Kristina Spitsyna were performing to raise funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their parents are now also defending Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia sector.
The girls were only 19 and 21 years old. On August 9, they were killed by a Russian missile.
And with that, the 2023 season comes to an end.
Good night!
It's always difficult for me to believe that time flies that fast. 2023 is already coming to an end, but it seems like only yesterday was the beginning of 2020 or any other previous year. Thank you, the defenders of Ukraine. For everything.
Happy New Year! Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦
❄️🎄✨️
Мені завжди важко повірити, наскільки ж швидко лине час. Ось уже закінчується 2023, а, здавалося, іще тільки вчора був початок 2020 чи будь-якого іншого колишнього року. Дякую захисникам і захисницям України. За все.
Щасливого Нового року! Слава Україні!🇺🇦
The quotes featured in these slides represent some of the last words spoken by Ukrainian defenders.
Party time!

Час вечірки!
Old art tho but I'm still happy w FNaF
Старий малюнок, та я досі люблю ФНаФ
"Mstyslav Chernov didn’t mention Gaza during his speech" people, are you insane? The man and his team survived a siege of a city, documented russian war crimes, miraculously managed to escape and you give him all the bullshit instead of other Oscar winners? You are all mentally ill.
✨️Impossible✨️ art challenge was won by two of my OCs.😎 Actually, I have more original characters (for abt 20), but most of the others aren't as thought-out as these. The first post in 2024, btw.

✨️Неможливий✨️ арт-челендж переможений двома моїми OC.😎 Насправді у мене більше оригінальних персонажів (приблизно 20), але більшість інших не такі продумані, як ці. Перший пост у 2024, до речі.)
