Live alert: Zarina Zabrisky, "Kherson: Human Safari"

Sunday June 1st at 4pm Rome (CEST)

Zarina Zabrisky is a reporter with Byline Times and Euromaidan Press, and has been reporting from south east Ukraine and about Russian warfare and hybrid attacks against Ukraine well before the Russian full-scale invasion.

On July 28, 2024, Zarina began interviewing the residents of Kherson about a new phenomenon: Russian drones that were hunting down Ukrainian civilians. Drones were often used on frontline cities and towns, but this was beginning to take the shape of something else.

“Kherson—BREAKING: Drones hunt civilians in Kherson Spike in Russian drone attacks. Dozens injured and killed. "5-6 attacks a day." Exclusive interviews from the coastal areas. An article with an analysis is forthcoming tomorrow.”

Since then, Zarina and her crew have been documenting the Russian drone strikes, that she called “human safari” because that is exactly what the Russian forces were doing to the civilian population in Kherson, and in other Ukrainian cities. Russian operations of this kind have recently expanded.

On May 28, a special UN Commission released their report on the Russian human safari in Kherson, and found it is a crime against humanity and a war crime. Kherson: Human Safari, a frontline documentary, tells the story: Invasion. Occupation. Liberation. Flood. Human safari.”

We’ll be talking about the Russian human safari in Kherson and her documentary, and the UN Commission Report today on
