a doctor reveals the images of her work in Mariupol

Doctor, Yuliia Paievska chose to film herself during her work in Mariupol (Ukraine), a city ravaged by the conflict between Russian and Ukrainian forces. She managed to transmit her images before being captured by the Russians. This was to be used for a documentary broadcast on Netflix. Finally, she testifies to the horror she has seen in this city. A young boy and his sister arrived seriously injured in an exchange of fire on February 26, two days after the start of the Russian invasion. Seeing that the boy will not survive, the doctor bursts into tears.

If these images are accessible, it is because Yuliia Paievska managed to give them to journalists. For this, she transmitted them via a USB key hidden in a buffer. On March 12, she said in a message to journalists that in this digital medium, there are “information on all injured people from the beginning of the war until now”. We see her saving lives regardless of nationality. She even intervenes when she sees a Ukrainian soldier bring back a Russian and drag him on the ground, insulting him. Reported missing Thursday, May 19, she would be held prisoner in Russia even if the Russian authorities claim not to detain her.
