Happy Independence Day 🇺🇦

UKR🇺🇦 -> ENG🇬🇧

Щороку 23 серпня моя кохана Україна святкує День Державного Прапора, 24 серпня — День Незалежности. Сьогодні нашій сучасній державності виповнюється 33 роки, хоча насправді українська історія сягає тисячоліть. Це — роки здобуття Майбутнього, Волі, Незалежности. Це — роки Віри, Самоусвідомлення, Шляху.

Україна — це Боротьба. Вічна боротьба за долю.

Дякую кожному та кожній, завдяки кому ми можемо святкувати цей День. Дякую всім, хто боронив, боронить і боронитиме нашу Державу.

Слава Україні! Героям слава!

🇺🇦

Every year on August 23, my beloved Ukraine celebrates the Day of the National Flag, and Independence Day on August 24. Today, our modern statehood turns 33 years old, although in fact, Ukrainian history goes back thousands of years. These are years of gaining Future, Freedom, Independence. These are years of Faith, Self-awareness, Path.

Ukraine means Fighting. Eternal fighting for destiny.

I thank everyone, thanks to whom we can celebrate this Day. Thank you to everyone who defended, defends, and will defend our State.

Slava Ukraini! Heroyam slava!

🇺🇦

OCs in their nationalities' folk clothes: Ian (Ukrainian) and Alim (Crimean tatar).

today I woke up at five in the morning

my alarm clock is russian ballistic missiles

and then more missiles. and more. and shahed drones after that.

I know you most likely won't see it on the news in your country. But despite the low media coverage, Ukraine needs you now more than ever. Now that we receive no military aid from the US. Every penny counts. Please, if you have any funds to spare, consider donating to one of the Ukrainian non-profits listed here. Thank you. The attacks continues still, but we're alive so everything will be alright.

May 18 is the 80th anniversary of the deportation of Crimean Tatars from the territory of Crimea in 1944 by the Soviet authorities. It is also a remembrance day for the victims of this genocide.

Thread on deportation of Crimean Tatars

Мої знайомі стали вулицями, Імена на пам'ять залишені.

Мої знайомі стали петиціями, Підписи поставлено стишено.

Мої знайомі стали стрічками, Синьо-жовті стяги опущені.

Мої знайомі стали книгами, В кінці читачі засмучені.

Мої знайомі стали зорями, Далекими й трохи млявими.

Мої знайомі стали спогадом, Живими, але вже примарами.

i'm tired of Eastern European countries being sacrificied by the West in order to appease Russia. this is exactly what happened after WW2, this is what might as well happen now

they destroyed the Tavrian Chersonesus and took artifacts to Russian museums I'm gonna be sick. This is 1600 years older than Notre Dame, THIS IS A UNESCO HERITAGE MONUMENT

I was listening to an interview about Ukraine and the interviewer was talking how there's no empathy for russian soldiers "not asking for sympathy for the Russians as an invading force, but empathy for humans" is the direct quote and while yes empathy for humans should exist, highlighting this in this context is bizzare. He then follows saying that these are young soldiers and the west is celebrating when "they are sent to their mothers" (meaning celebrating their deaths).

And what struck me the most is him saying this: "Soldiers who've been sent to war not by their choice, they follow military, they follow orders". Quick question: how do you think defeated nazi soldiers were trying to avoid punishment for their war crimes? What "argument" was real popular, don't you remember? This exact "argument" is the reason why International Law actually explicitly states that if a higher ups in the war are forcing a soldier to execute unlawful acts, the soldier has the right and responsibility to refuse this order. In International Law "I was following orders" is not an admissible argument. If the Russian soldiers don't want to commit war crimes, they are, by law, obliged to refuse the orders. Yet the Russian army still stands, still committing war crimes in Ukraine. But yeah, poor russian young boys sent to their mothers…

Yes I do have empathy for brainwashed and indoctrinated youth of an authoritarian state, no I don't have empathy for war criminals.

My part in broken tablet challenge "Icy"! While drawing it, I was really hoping that I'll manage to reproduce the previous(?) art properly. I think I succeeded!

Моя участь у зламаному планшеті "Крижана"! Поки малювала його, дійсно сподівався, що мені пощастить правильно відтворити попередній(?) малюнок. Гадаю, вдалося!

When will fucking russians finally run out of the holiday spirit of giving.

Drones and missiles. Again.

Instead of celebrating New Year, yesterday we had a national mourning day. By the time the morning comes, we will have more reasons to mourn. Those of us who will survive, that is.
