Also, those who are not categorically against Twitter can join there. Even with my dislike for Twitter, I am forced to write there, because it is there, not here, that my publications will be seen by Western politicians, whose eyes I am trying to open

I see that I have a very low reach here (about 9 views per post), and BlueSky's restrictions on the amount of text and video length do not allow me to work fully, so I'm going inactive here. Join my Blog:

At that point, she decided not to run anymore but to start fighting against the Russian occupiers. Now her call sign is Fors, and she defends Ukraine from the rashists in the “Khartia” battalion.

This girl lived in Donetsk. She was forced to move to Avdiivka when Russia invaded, but then Russia brought war there too. After that, she moved to Pokrovsk, but Russia came there as well.

If a snail had left Donetsk on February 24, 2022, by today it would have crossed all of Ukraine and reached Romania. The huge Russian army also left Donetsk on February 24, 2022, but since then it has not managed to advance beyond Donetsk region.

A girl from Mariupol talks about Russian propaganda that Russia spread in the east about western Ukraine, in order to turn the east against the west. This was part of the preparation for today’s attempts by Russia to occupy Ukraine.

Russians hate Ukrainians because Russia attacked Ukraine, kills Ukrainians, and lies about Ukrainians all sorts of horrible things. Do you understand the logic of the Russians?

Devana @devana.bsky.social · Sep 16

Even in sports, Russia uses dirty play, doping, and corruption in refereeing—even though it is just a game, a friendly competition. Are there any Russian inventions that brought good rather than harm? It’s hard for me to remember… And on top of that, they steal credit for what others have created.

Devana @devana.bsky.social · Sep 16

Is Russia capable of anything other than hatred? Any comment by Russians on social media is hate speech. Any Russian action is war, terror, genocide. I honestly cannot recall anything else Russia does.

4-year-old Yulia Zhmakina finishes singing the song "Ukraine is You" to the sounds of an air raid warning due to a Russian attack

When speaking of security guarantees, the world forgets that Ukraine had guarantees from Russia, the U.S., and the U.K. in exchange for nuclear disarmament—until these countries betrayed Ukraine.

Devana @devana.bsky.social · Sep 14

When speaking of peace, the world forgets that we had peace until Russia attacked us. When speaking of treaties, the world forgets that Ukraine had treaties until Russia broke them.

🌑 Russia: A Nation of Destruction, Not Creation

Russia has never created anything truly great. While the rest of the world developed, Russia always waged wars and brought ruins.

Any peace talks with terrorists are nothing more than talks about fulfilling the terrorists’ demands. So any peace talks with Russia are simply a waste of time, nothing more — because we will not pay with honor and dignity for a temporary peace and Budapest Memorandum–level “guarantees”!

The village orchestra "Harmony" from Kivshovata (Kyiv region) created the overture "Shahed", putting the sounds of an Iranian drone flying on the sheet music.

Ukrainians even turn Russian terror against us into art.
