If I need to describe Ukrainians with one video today, it might be this one: this is Dnipro, after Russia bombed the city. Attack might’ve damaged this car. But it didn’t damage its spirit ✊💃🏻

Being a Ukrainian and watching how US is trying to sell out Ukraine to Russia for a better price while Ukraine reps continue to say thank you for this charade - so Trump doesn’t throw another tantrum - feels physically exhausting and honestly sad.
Also, scared for the future.

I see media quote Turkish Foreign Minister saying how the ‘peace deal’ could ‘ensure peace in the region for the next 50-70 years’ . This shows dangerous lack of understanding what this war is about and what Russia is.

Thank you all for kind words of support . As we do in Ukraine, went and got a drink for our fallen friend . We usually just leave it stand on a table while we remember them. Sometimes we put bread on it.
If you having a drink today, you can join me and remember our friend . He was brave, he fought
