📹 At the European Parliament, the translator of 11-year-old Roman, who survived a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia, cried
During a film screening of documentaries about Ukrainian children and a subsequent discussion, the assistant to the Vice President of the European Parliament burst into tears while translating the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiy from Lviv. The boy survived a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, in which his mother was killed.
Roman underwent 36 surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation due to severe burns and injuries. Despite this, he returned to studying, dancing, and music, and even received an award from the President of Ukraine.
On December 10, Roman came to Brussels for the film screening to tell his story to MEPs and urge them to “never give up”, because “when we are together, we are strong”.
The deputies were shown the films “Romchik”, “Children for Putin”, and “Chili”.

Jesus fucking Christ. You listened to that and whataboutism is your take away? Rhetorical question obviously.
The difference is Palestinians don’t have access to any medical care. Doctors do some great stuff when they are around.
