Honor, Maksym.

I think about every Ukrainian artist who could have lived a long and happy life and done wonderful things but was killed by russians.

I'm thinking about russian artists who are inherently fascists and state propagandists, and how in the West they are loved and praised.

Indifference to russian crimes, support for russian occupation culture, praising russian artists and justifying their silence about the war - all of this is having a terrible effect on Ukraine now and will have terrible consequences for everyone in the future.

nICE work

ik people say you shouldn't read news first thing in the morning or reach for your phone but this is how many times my city was shelled by russians in the last 24 hours (almost each paragraph is a separate case)

gentle reminder, it's chornobyl, not chernobyl

Russian culture is nothing sacred

On Palm Sunday, Russia launched a missile strike on Sumy, slaughtering over 20 civilians and injuring many more. And they have used 'double tap' again.

Russia doesn't want a piece, they want to raise hell on Ukrainian lands. I don't have words to describe my hate towards that bloody country. I wish all of them to live through this level of pain for centuries. There's no forgiveness for such crimes.

Just two days after the previous strike, russia hits Kryvyi Rih again. They struck a residential area, next to a playground. In the early evening, when parents and children were outside.

As of now, 14 people are known to have been killed, including 6 children.

In the photo, parents stand over the body of their killed 15-year-old son.

Back in 2022, the world was saying "russian war of aggression will not be normalised". Today, in 2025, we are just numbers. Russia killing Ukrainians for the sin of existing has been normalised. Our lives are a boring statistic and our tragedies barely ever make it into the world news. Because this is no longer news.

Ukrainians on occupied territories are about to be deported from their homes if they don't obtain russian passport. This is genocide.

russia breaks the ceasefire two hours after they agreed to stop strikes on Ukraine’s energy sector - by bombing the power system of Slovyansk, Donetsk region, half of the city is without electricity.

Another 2 hours later they bomb a hospital in Sumy. Then launched attack drones all over the country.

“Ceasefire” my ass

Fuck you and fuck your “peace talks”

You don’t want peace. You want us to die more quietly.

Thank you all, people

Russia invaded Ukraine.

Any "deal" which rewards Russia in its mass butchery, rape, and slaughter of Ukrainians is not a peace plan, it is a capitulation. It is a green light to Russia that they are free to murder their way through Ukraine as much as they please down the line, bringing 19th century style colonial warfare forward to the 21st century. This behavior by Russia has historical precedence stretching back centuries--longer than the U.S., in fact, has been a country. Ukrainians understand this. They have lived it, generation upon generation. They know what happens when you make a "deal" with Russia.

For any Westerner, and this includes the President of the United States, to lecture Ukrainians about peace is an abject disgrace to the sacrifices Ukraine has made for democracy and freedom. We in the U.S. should be thanking Ukraine, lest our soldiers be the ones dying in the fields for freedom. To those Americans who object to us supporting Ukraine by sending our decades-old tech, which sits unused in bone fields, to Ukraine so that they might survive another day, ask yourselves: Would you rather pay with your blood? Every civilian butchered, every Ukrainian child stolen, and every inch of Ukrainian land torn away incurs a debt to both justice and righteousness. What we don't pay in dollars now, we will pay with bodies later. Ask the Ukrainians what that means, for they have already been paying the ultimate price for over ten years straight.

I have been to Ukraine before and after the war; I have seen their beautiful town squares filled with flowers replaced with the long bulletin boards of portraits of soldiers who died defending liberty. There is no American alive today who bears the tired eyes of Ukrainians waking up to the sound of sirens every day, for three years straight, because their homes are under threat of bombardment and destruction. What happened to the America of my grandfathers, the lauded "Arsenal of Democracy", who would have stood unflinchingly behind a people fighting for their freedom and ours and been proud of it? Are we truly okay with voting alongside the real murderous, bloody dictators like Vladimir Putin, Alexander Lukashenko, and Kim Jong Un, who achieve their goals in this world by crossing mountains made from the bodies of slaughtered innocents?

To my Ukrainian friends, I'm so sorry. I'm ashamed beyond words to watch the President of my country berate yours in what is supposed to be the People's office. Please know that millions of Americans do not stand for this: We stand behind you and we stand with Ukraine, even if our country has abdicated its role in defending liberty. May America rediscover her priorities and recover from the disgrace of the words said today by men who have no shame, and may Russia lose this bloody, murderous, genodical war. It could end today if Russia simply went home. It is that easy, it always was, and it always will be, no matter how the powerful may try to rape the truth.

Слава Україні, until the very end. 🕊💙💛

"March 16, 2022. On the ground near the theater, large letters spelling out the word "CHILDREN" were visible - but this did not stop the russian murderers from committing a terrible terrorist attack in peaceful Mariupol exactly three years ago.

The russian occupiers dropped a bomb on the Drama Theater. This tragic place at that time became a refuge for many Mariupol residents seeking protection from the endless bombardment.

The number of victims is still impossible to determine for sure. However, it is estimated that between 300 and 600 innocent civilians died that day.

what a unique experience to live in a country next to russia. Only here, in Ukraine, you can wake up in the middle of the night, listen to a russian drone with a growing buzz hit somewhere nearby, recover for half a minute, look out the window as another drone flies right over your house, scratch your head, and watch as a third one is shot down even closer a couple of minutes later

russian kamikaze drone btw:

do not. fucking. dare to say to me shit like "oh, but not all russians are bad!"

you bitchasses with no brain have no fucking idea how much suffering russians have caused and are causing with no fucking pause to us, even right fucking now. you assholes with no fucking shame can't even imagine how much i do not care for that 0.11037% of russians who aren't pro-war. you little parasites should shut your fucking mouths and listen to real victims.

so fucking tired. go fuck yourself yall. bastards.

Trump literally wants to "negotiate" with Putin behind Ukraine's back openly admitting Ukraine has "no cards" (and therefore no chance at getting a peace deal that isn't to Russia's benefit), repeats russian propaganda, constantly antagonises Ukraine, doesn't even want to call Russia the aggressor in a UN resolution, constantly repeats that he wants to improve relations with Russia, doesn't seem to care about providing Ukraine ANY kind of peace guarantee and openly blocks a NATO-entry, gets praised by the Russian government for 'understanding' them, and wants Ukraine to "pay back" US military aid with minerals when even after an abstract peace deal Ukraine will need even more money for rebuilding itself.... And Ukraine's not even trending?

i cannot wait for people to piss on your grave. i cannot wait for the celebrations that will happen when you die. i cannot wait until you are gone and nobody remembers you with any love or fondness. slava ukraini.

They claimed that Ukraine is full of Nazis - yet they were the Nazis all along. They claimed Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world - yet they are the oligarchs who openly bought their way into the government. Now they claim that Ukraine isn't the victim, but the aggressor who wants war - yet they threaten numerous countries with invasion. Now they claim Ukraine is ungrateful and greedy - yet they demand us to give up our country's resources to them while gaining nothing in return. Now their leader claims Ukraine is ruled by a dictator - yet he praises the real dictator, who's been ruling a totalitarian regime and starting wars for 25 years. Now they claim Ukraine isn't a democracy - yet they openly call their leader a king and want him to rule forever.

Every accusation is an admission. Always.

I got reminded of Mariupol Theatre and then how russians specifically targeted vehicles that were marked "children on board" and also countless hospitals, and-

There could be no agreement with them. They broke them again and again. Not only in Ukraine, but in every military conflict they started.

"have you said thank you once?" "do you even own a suit?" "you hate putin too much, you don't actually want peace"

fuck you

do we need to thank the USA for their pressure 30 years ago that led us to this war in the first place? Who do we thank for when russia blew up kakhovka dam and flooded thousands of people, killing entire ecosystems and the animals in zoos? russia is bombing residental buildings in my city right this second, do i need to thank the us for that? hate russians less? wear a suit?

More examples of Ukrainian resilience, this time through art.

Flowers painted on tank guards (Kyiv)

A small impact crater with petals carved out to resemble a flower (Kharkiv)

Art created by children while they were sheltering in subways during the beginning of the invasion in Kharkiv, still on display. (Yay for people being decent enough to not vandalize them for almost 3 years)

Pierced armor. The first one was titled «Stolen Childhood», the second «We Are All Heroes» (Kyiv, Local Conflicts Museum, ArtArmor exhibit)

February 2015: Damage in Mariupol, Ukraine about a year into the russian invasion.

‼️As a result of a night attack by Russian drones on the Kyiv region, one person was killed and two others were injured, the Kyiv regional administration reported.

ukrainians on trump's international politics:

"why does the existence of my country have to depend on a failed humanisation of a dried out orange"

sometimes i think about how i’ve effectively dug myself a grave with this blog. half my internet presence is about being queer and ukrainian, famously two things russia hates the most.

if trump proceeds with the “peaceful negotiations” that happen without ukraine even present, if he pushes to implement another leader in ukraine (meaning, of course, a pro-russian puppet) and makes my country a quote unquote neutral territory, it obviously means occupation. when there are bombs over my head, i’m at least an abstract target, i can rely on luck not to get hit. if russians come to power tho? i’m toast.

i wish i was exaggerating, but this is already happening to people in occupied parts of the country. those who had social media posts in ukrainian, about queer rights, etc. are being seeked out and threatened. my acquaintance was once on call with her friend on crimea, who had weird noises in the background. when questioned, she casually said that they were coming from russian police beating her neighbour for listening to ukrainian music.

i constantly hear from people who miraculously left the occupied territories how they had to delete everything from their phones, because russian soldiers would do random phone searches — both just on the street or when a person tries to leave the occupied city. it’s not uncommon that people get shot over it.

everything about “peaceful negotiations” and “compromises”, trading “land for a peace agreement” promises me a death sentence

Especially "funny" when trump says that Ukraine is guilty in the war.

Do you also feel uncomfortable still being alive?

Oh, yeah, they hit Chornobyl NPP...

Yes, of course, russia wants peace and totally did not just fucking attack THAT SAME FOURTH POWER UNIT THAT EXPLODED ON 26 OF APRIL 1986))) The drone severely damaged the NSC (new safe confinement) that was built over the power unit in order to prevent the leak or radiation if the old sarcophagus collapses.

Also, just a quick reminder, russia has full control over Zaporizhzhya NPP in occupied Enerhodar and created dangerous situations there a fair bunch of times (and i mean, something like cutting off power lines that keep power units stable). Also Nikopol district is being shelled every fucking day from the territory of that same NPP, because russians know DAMN FUCKING WELL that AFU won't hit them, in fear of damaging ZNPP. They are using a nuclear power plant as their shield just to kill civilians on a free territory.

Russia is a terrorist state. And if you still think, that Ukraine should sign a peace treaty asap and give up occupied territories — sincerely, fuck you. I don't know how fucking dense you must be to think so after 3 years of full-scaled war.

❗In the evening of February 18, the Russians launched a massive attack on Odesa. As a result of the attack, a large part of the city was left without electricity, water and heat supply, and social infrastructure facilities, including a polyclinic and a kindergarten, were damaged. Four people were injured.

According to the mayor, 14 schools, 13 kindergartens and a large residential area - more than 500 houses - remained without electricity and heating.
