Trapped in terror: Three Ukrainian women held hostage by Russian soldiers speak out


On March 3, Russian forces took hold of Yahidne, a small village outside of Chernihiv, Ukraine, and held the villagers captive in a school basement for 25 harrowing days.


Ukrainian survivors believe at least 20 people died during the month-long Russian occupation, including 11 elderly villagers who passed away while inside the basement. No official death toll has been released by Ukrainian officials.

Surviving off limited food and forced to go to the bathroom in buckets, men, women and children huddled together — four people per square meter — as Russian forces ransacked and destroyed their homes. Adults slept sitting up, while mothers used their bodies as makeshift beds for their children. The youngest Ukrainian held captive was just 2 months old.

To keep track of time, villagers etched the passing days into one of the basement walls.
TODAY Parents spoke, through a translator, to three Ukrainian women who were held captive by Russian troops in Yahidne and described, in detail, the conditions of their imprisonment. Now liberated, they say they want to world to know what the Russian military did to their homes, their village and their families.
Valentyna Lohvynchuk, 56, told TODAY Parents Russians began shelling her village on the first day of March. Afraid, she hid in the cellar in the basement of her home with others from her village. They stayed in the basement until March 3 when, at around 4 pm, Russian soldiers came to her home.

Masvingo – The notorious Masvingo Photographer is not giving up on his project of exposing couples who like romping in the bush. This time he shocked this woman who temporarily became paralysed when she discovered that their “moment of passion” was being carefully recorded. According to the cameraman, she looked dumbfounded as she squatted legs asunder the “bedroom cooking stick” of a married man who is believed to be a cleaner in the city. The two were busted last Sunday afternoon sexercising bedroom gymnastics in this thicket near Masvingo water tanks close to Wimpy Inn. Because it was raining and muddy, the two could not lie on the ground,so the man made a makeshift mat from tree branches and leaves. He sat on the branches with his trousers dropped to almost knee level and the woman then sat astride him and the fun began, everything in the eye of the cameraman. For a considerable moment they grabbed each other tightly groaning with pleasure of love making while the photographer fil...

Byram, NJ. Recent renovations of a section of  Route 80 westbound have uncovered the remains of what archeologists believe to be the first solid evidence of the legendary “four breasted woman” spoken of in Lenni Lenape folklore. Dr. Kevin Spitzkiel, adjunct professor of archeology at the nearby Centenary College stated “This is the breakthrough we’ve been looking for all these years. Ever since I was a boy growing up in Warren County I heard tales of a clan of four breasted women.  Even the men had four nipples.” Road crews were digging up part of the highway when they found several human bones.  They called local State Troopers immediately.  Once the Troopers recognized this was not a fresh crime scene, they called for Dr Spitzkiel.  He is known in the area as the “Skeleton Guy” His interest in the human skeleton is massive. He can  often be seen driving around town with a lifesize skeleton replica in the passenger seat of his car. “The interesting part o...

The woman, identified as Jahrah, 54, went to work on the plantation in Jambi province, on the island of Sumatra, on Sunday morning and her husband reported her missing when she did not return home that evening. Searching for her on Sunday night, her husband discovered her sandals, headscarf, jacket and the tools she used at work, and called for others to help, police told local media. The following morning, a python was spotted nearby. When the security team and residents conducted a search around the rubber plantation, then we found a python 7 metres long.

Pythons, which kill through constriction, typically eat smaller animals, swallowing their food wh...
