Anna Ivanova, an elderly resident of the Kharkov region, who came out with the flag of the USSR to meet the Ukrainian military and whose image is now actively used by Russian propaganda, curses the Russians for the destroyed house.



This was reported by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy.

As indicated, a serviceman of the 22nd battalion of the 92nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Cadet" helped pensioner Ivanova Anna Ivanovna and her husband evacuate from their house near Kharkov to a safe place. Before that, he helped them with food and humanitarian aid.

She is currently in one of the city hospitals in Kharkov. The Russian invaders fired mortars at her house.

Contrary to Russian propaganda, Anna Ivanovna's son did not take her to Russia, and she herself says that the Russian army is shelling her house.

According to Anna Ivanovna, she went to the Ukrainian military because she thought they were Russian occupiers and tried to "reconcile" with them with a red Bolshevik flag so that they would not "smash" the village and Ukraine. But now she feels like a "traitor".

Her grandson is saved in Poland.
