They talked about and about the war in Ukraine: A musician, a mother, a priest and a kickboxer came to the parish home in Miesbach.
Their message: “Help us.”
Miesbach
- “The civilized world cannot believe this, but it is the reality in which we live!” With this, the Ukrainian musician Taras Kompanichenko concluded the last of his officially played songs as part of the contemporary witness talk “The Price of Freedom” to the Bundestag member Karl Bär (Green Party) invited people to the parish hall of the Assumption of Mary in Miesbach.
He wanted to remind people that “just 600 kilometers from here, people are fighting so that the stronger party cannot simply take what they want,” said Kompanichenko.
Great suffering for prisoners of war
The petite Jana from Kiev, who spoke in a sometimes breaking voice about her son, who had been captive for two years, also pleaded: “Please don't close your eyes!” The artist and musician who wanted to defend Ukraine was a marine with civilians encircled and captured in Mariupol by 14,000 Russian soldiers.
The last message from her ever-confident son came via text message: “Mom, you can’t take this anymore.” In pictures she saw him emaciated to the bone, with his teeth knocked out and a gaping hole where a tattoo once was.
How could one help him?
That was the question asked by psychotherapist Isabel Anders-Brodersen, who led the conversation with her colleague Stefan Woinoff with great sensitivity.
“The masses must know what they hear here!” This was the only chance, emphasized the desperate mother.
Prisoners in penal colonies are forbidden from having contact with the outside world and there is neither legal advice nor medical help.
Nobody adheres to the Geneva Refugee Conventions.
Even priests are tortured
This was confirmed by Vasyl Vyrozub.
The Ukrainian Orthodox priest was on his way to Snake Island off Odessa when he was stopped by special forces from the naval cruiser Moskva and later interrogated on the Crimean Peninsula.
The torture began after a few days when the island, which was supposed to be easy to conquer, could not be conquered.
His fingernails were pulled off, his kidneys were hit, his arms were twisted and he was hit with electric batons.
“And this with an ordinary priest,” said Vyrozub.
“Can you imagine what they did to soldiers?” They were met with pure hatred and repeated accusations about who allowed the Ukrainians to live so well.

He, too, repeatedly saw this hatred in the eyes of his tormentors, says Oleksiy Anulya, a former kickboxer and bodyguard from the Chernihiv region who was captured during the fighting for Lukashivka in March 2022.
He spoke of how the great victory of 1945 was glorified.
“They will repeat your concentration camps.
That's why we ask you to help while there are still soldiers.
We’re slowly running out of them.”

Artem Rakitin also said: “We are being murdered, genocide is being carried out.” When the handsome man with the injured eye describes how people drink water from puddles and cook on the campfire, Rakitin is stunned.
The fact that they are not talking about revenge but rather about peace impressed Bär, who particularly thanked Sofia Chtcherban, who organized the evening as part of an internship accompanying her studies.
“Losing this conflict would bring us much closer to war than any arms shipment.”

Priest Vyrozub added: “If they destroy us, then they will come to you!” His message.
“Keep your peace and help us get ours back.
We Ukrainians have also seen wars on television and thought it was far away.
We were sorely mistaken!”
