Svitlana Halchenko recounted the traumatic event when a Russian ballistic missile exploded near her workplace in Odesa, killing several of her colleagues. According to reports from the BBC, the incident occurred at a warehouse located at the city’s main port. Halchenko, who serves as a shift manager, described the scene, recalling that the crane operator, a colleague, died just five meters from her, and the driver remained inside the cabin, also succumbing to the blast.
Despite sustaining injuries, including difficulty walking and embedded glass fragments in her leg and back, Svitlana remains committed to continuing her work. However, the once bustling port facility is now markedly quiet. This subdued atmosphere reflects the broader challenges facing the region.
Russia is reportedly escalating efforts to restrict Ukraine’s trade connections with international markets, accompanying this with increased attacks along the entire Black Sea coastline. The damage sustained to the port’s infrastructure has significantly impacted daily operations.
