10/5/2024 — He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.

From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 954)

He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your faithfulness put an end to them.
Psalm 54:5

Some days, you feel ordinary and uneventful in your personal life. And the reality of war catches up with you when you check the news. And that’s when you lament before the Lord, reminding Him about His faithfulness and begging for His justice.

Vovchansk joined the list of cities that are no more because of the Russians.

According to the prosecutor’s office, 93 Ukrainian soldiers have been executed by the Russians. 80% of the cases happened in 2024. As sickening as the thought may be, I’m pretty sure the actual number may be higher.

According to the official information, 177 Ukrainians died in Russian captivity. Maltreatment, neglect, torture, humiliation, malnourishment… Should I continue?

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). I guess the fruit is pretty evident, and there’s no doubt who is behind it. Yet the Lord’s justice will prevail.
