What happens when sometimes a killer meets his victim

This story has shaken me deeply. It is of a kind that needs to be shared.

It's rather exotic and pretty much the "irony of fate" that the civilian victims of the Ukrainian shellings and those military men who were shelling them, both are treated in the same hospital in Donetsk. The Ukrainian so called "cyborgs" from the Donetsk airport as well as other "punishers" from the Ukrainian cannon units who were injured during the battles and taken prisoners by the Novorossia's self-defense forces are laid in the beds literally nearby the rooms where the injured innocent residents of Donetsk are laid in theirs.

Among them is a one-year-old baby girl Sonya Ukhanova who at one moment lost her mother and father on January, 20, when the heavy shelling occured in their district. The baby carriage saved her life but could not protect her from the terrible wounds. She survived very complex surgery on her arm when the pieces of her tiny bones were put together. Sonya doesn't understand what happened and constantly is calling her Mummy...But, from now on, there are only her grandmother and grand grandmother around to care for her.

There, in the hospital, are working real heroes. Doctors and other personnel didn't flee but keep doing their job - saving people, even under the constant shelling. Surgeons try to hold their tears while operating young boys and beautiful girls, amputating their broken legs and arms or sewing together the pieces of flesh. But, their faces become stony when they operate the "cyborgs"...

After Sonya has recovered enough and was able to walk, the doctors bring her to the neirbour room and introduce her to one of the "cyborgs": "Look what you did to this tiny angel"...Sonya steps towards him with a smile, sinking her huge blue eyes into his eyes. The man hides his face in his hands and bursts into sobs...He whispers: "Forgive me, forgive me please...I didn't know...I have grand daughter of the same age...We didn't know. We were told that we are fighting with terrorists..."

Everybody else in the room are frozen in the woeful silence...

Alas, this story will not be shown on the Ukrainian TV. But there is a hope that one more man's soul is saved.
