And neither does Khrystyna. It took her half a year to regain 10 pounds (4kg), leaving her at 105 pounds (47kg) (healthy weight is 108-140lbs [48-63kg]), and that’s where she stayed since because of the difficulty the Russian army has had in regularly bringing in enough food to the city. XXX Many locals at first refused to do any business with their new occupiers, and many still avoid them like the plague. Khrystyna made her living as a prostitute, selling her body for whatever amount she could get, and war was big business. She was treated like a hero for her work. Soldiers were warned explicitly not to mention anything related to the war around her, she wasn’t allowed within the immediate perimeter of the base or any building housing troops, and the offices just straight-up refused to frequent her.
