Twelve years ago, the Revolution of Dignity began after students were beaten for protesting Yanukovych’s turn from Europe toward Russia.

In Ternopil, rescue crews have been clearing the rubble for a third day after a Russian strike: 16 people are still being searched for.
As a result of the enemy attack, 28 people were killed and 94 were injured.

All night, rescuers worked in Ternopil, and search-and-rescue efforts are still ongoing. Over 230 responders from nine regions of Ukraine are involved. In some areas, they can work only by hand due to severe destruction and debris, which slows the search.

If I wore a costume this Halloween, I'd be Bella Baxter. An iconic woman character.

Happy Halloween if you celebrate!

Hello here!
Long time no see. I missed so many updates here. The thing is, I lost my access for a while. Even though it was super easy to get it back, I just couldn’t do it for such a long time.
But here I am! What’s new?

Russia has launched three ballistic missiles on Chernihiv.

Just a casual message from grandma in Ukraine. Life under constant Russian aggression.

January 1st in Kyiv: instead of happy moments with family and friends, Ukrainians face more terror and tragedies. It’s not a happy New Year when your neighbor is Russia.

Ballistic missiles instead of presents for Christmas. That’s what you get when your neighbour is Russia.

Russia launched major attack on Ukraine’s energy system: more than 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and over 100 drones.

The dichotomy of life in modern Ukraine exemplified by two photos taken an hour apart in Lviv - Christmas celebrations give way to honoring a fallen defender.

πŸ₯Š Oleksandr Usyk dedicated his second victory over Tyson Fury to his mother:

β€œI want to dedicate this win to my mom, who has worried and cared for me for so many years. And to all mothers of Ukraine,” Usyk said.

His first victory over Fury was dedicated to his father. #UsykFury

Every time I see how my hometown Kyiv is being attacked and destroyed by the Russians, I feel as if I’m being scratched by a thin knife, pierced by a thick needle. I’m telling myself it doesn’t matter what I feel – as long as people are alive. But my city is alive too, so it hurts every time.

It’s one of those days when I can’t hold myself together. Injured defenders of Ukraine, these wonderful women and men with prosthetics… killed children, entire families. Abandoned elders without homes. Those who’ve lost everything. Tons of such news and stories in my feed every day.

But that doesn’t mean people with courageous hearts should stop. The truth is, they (we) can only rely on themselves, not on any highest values or β€˜the power of the world.’

It’s unfair – the phrase I’ve been repeating for years. I appeal to the highest values, but no one’s coming to balance the scales. Nobody will punish the evil. It’s just a concept we made to keep society in line. In the end, it’s the powerless who suffer. And can anyone stop that? I don’t think so.
