I tried to take today off- Mariupol is too intense, I’m concerned about my mental health. So I stayed in Donetsk. But Donetsk wasn’t a break: Ukrainians have been firing all day, Kievsky is burning. I don’t understand how people still live there- Ukrainian positions have been bombarding Kievsky for 8 years. https://youtu.be/42JGwsmZsvM

I don’t support the exploitation of animals. But when the manager of the #Mariupol zoo hands you a tiger cub, it’s impossible to say no
