The Russian attack on Ukraine has given the Ukrainian embassy in Washington the role of recruiting Americans who wish to join the fighting. Diplomats working in a part of Georgetown outside the embassy are receiving offers of volunteers to fight in Ukraine.
On the 15th day of the Russo-Ukraine war, authorities have started mass burials of those killed in the fighting. Several bodies were buried in mass graves in Mariupol, southern Ukraine. For this, a 25 meter long pit has been dug at an old mausoleum in the city. There is no one to mourn over these dead bodies. Britain said the Russian attack did not advance, but Ukrainian cities were being destroyed by shelling.
On the other hand, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Lviv has lost its power grid and is now supplied by emergency generators. Here the nuclear material cooling system may be at risk. The situation could worsen if there was a threat to the Chernobyl nuclear center in Lviv. While the most painful scenes were seen in Mariupol.
Here not only the living people are struggling for many days for water, sanitation, phones etc. but they are also collecting water from rivers and melting snow. In the midst of the continuing bombing in the city, officials are trying to bury the bodies separately. But as morgues were full and bodies could not be collected from homes, they decided to bury the bodies in mass graves.
