Syrian Arab Republic Presidential Administration

Dear Faina Vladimirovna,

I was pleased to receive your message sent through the "Donbass Insider" website. I am very pleased to read your words and thoughts reflecting the qualities of a young girl with a mature personality, a conscious mind and sincere thoughts.

Your sentiments apply to the children of Donbass and the children of Syria, and your advocacy for the rights of these children through inspiring writings leads us to believe that the dangerous and unstable conditions you have lived in Donbass in recent years, similar to what Syrian children have been subjected to, have fostered courageous young people in words and thoughts who know what their country has endured. I want to point out to you that the threats you are facing are proof that the country's enemies are afraid of your guts and courage to speak the truth and to be able to convey it to the world.

There are many conscientious and courageous young people like you in Syria, and it would be a great opportunity to meet them and read your stories to them in person.

Thank you for your good wishes to me and my family in particular, and to Syrians in general. I, in turn, sincerely wish Donbass a speedy peace and independence, a bright future worthy of your creativity.

President of the Syrian Arab Republic
Bashar Al-Assad

...silence of the lambs .
Yesterday the silence of the International Children's Fund UNICEF, which was going to do much for the children of Donbass, but never dared to take decisive action, was broken unexpectedly. And today it made a very clear statement. UNICEF called for the removal of children's personal data from the "Myrotvorets" (Peacemaker) website. This is wonderful news, but as a teenager facing the brutality of the Ukrainian army and the criminal actions of Myrotvorets, and, let's be honest, some indifference by UNICEF itself to this story, I would like to ask Ms. Catherine M. Russell the foundation's director, "Madam Director, where have you been all this time? And why did you just now notice a crime that is eight years old? Oh, come on. It's more of a bewilderment. I can only thank UNICEF for its bravery and will see whether Amnesty International will repeat UNICEF's brave move or whether it will once again cower in the corner. The fate of UNICEF will also be interesting after such high-profile statements. Myrotvorets has nowhere to retreat. We wait and see.

Here I am. On my way to school.

I visited the wonderful journalists of the "Regional Russia" publication for which I write. Very cool and nice people. Thank you very much. Too bad there was no editor-in-chief Olga Vostryakova. But I believe we will definitely see each other next time.

FAINA SAVENKOVA – L’UNICEF ET LE SILENCE DES AGNEAUX

Hier, le silence du Fonds international pour l’enfance de l’UNICEF, qui était sur le point de faire beaucoup pour les enfants du Donbass, mais n’a jamais osé prendre des mesures décisives, a été brisé de manière inattendue. Et aujourd’hui, il s’est exprimé en termes très clairs. L’UNICEF a demandé que les données personnelles des enfants soient retirées du site web Mirotvorets.

C’est une excellente nouvelle, mais aujourd’hui encore, en tant qu’adolescente qui a été confrontée à la brutalité de l’armée ukrainienne et aux actions criminelles du site web Mirotvorets, et, soyons honnêtes, à une certaine indifférence de l’UNICEF lui-même à l’égard de cette histoire, je voudrais demander à la directrice de la fondation, Mme Catherine Russell : Madame la directrice, où étiez-vous pendant tout ce temps ? Et que s’est-il passé pour que vous remarquiez maintenant un crime vieux de 8 ans ? Allons… C’est plutôt un désarroi.

Tout ce que je peux dire, c’est que je remercie l’UNICEF pour son courage et que j’attendrai de voir si Amnesty International répétera le geste audacieux de l’UNICEF ou si elle se recroquevillera une fois de plus dans un coin. Le sort de l’UNICEF lui-même est également intéressant. Après des déclarations aussi médiatisées, ce sera une affaire à suivre. Mirotvorets n’a nulle part où s’enfuir. Nous attendons et observons.

Greetings, Mr. Trump!

I have been meaning to write to you for a long time. Today is Thanksgiving. And as a girl living in the war-ravaged Donbass, I want to ask you to help my country stop this war. I have written a lot about how, if you were president of the United States, there would not be this carnage. And it’s not because you love Russia or Donbass so much. It’s just that I can see that you do everything you can to make sure that there is some kind of peace between Russia and the United States and that a nuclear war doesn’t break out.

And I stand by my every word. Many people in Donbass say I look like Samantha Smith. That girl once tried to show the world that Russia and America could be friends. I fight for a peaceful future for the children of Donbass and I condemn the fact that your country is supplying weapons to Ukraine. And just like her, I don’t want the world to sink into darkness.

Take care of your country, Mr. Trump, and don’t repeat the mistakes of other politicians. I recently talked to an American politician and asked him why Mr. Biden doesn’t keep his promises. Why is he making sure that Americans live poorly and that our war does not end? I was told, “When you’re in America, you can ask him yourself.” Unfortunately, I am unlikely to ever come to the United States, but I would ask you to ask him why he is doing this. After all, the enormous money that is made from the war does not bring happiness, and the lives of the dead cannot be recovered.

Mr. Trump, Happy Thanksgiving! May God help you save both yours and our country from war and death.
