Olena Yagupova

“They pierced my head twice, put a bag over my head, and didn’t give me to breathe”

50-year-old Olena Yahupova from Kamianka-Dniprovska suffered because her husband went to defend his own country. They beat, tortured, and strangled her, and after torture they force her to dig trenches in the freezing cold. It was a miracle to get out. Olena left the occupied town and told how she managed to survive and for whom she hold on.
