Russians are abducting and executing Ukrainian civilians in Vovchansk (Kharkiv region)

Your daily reminder that RUSSIA IS A TERRORIST STATE.

The war is not over; Russia is still invading Ukraine. Ukrainian civilians are dying at the hands of russians every day, and our cities, civilian and critical infrastructure are getting destroyed.

If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.

Maybe the war made me a cynical and bitter person but all of the Eurovision discourse this year makes me laugh. No, for real

First of all, all the comparisons to Russian case are ridiculous. Russia wasn’t banned in 2008 after invasion of Georgia. Russia wasn’t banned in 2014 after invasion of Ukraine. Russia wasn’t banned in 2015 after intervention in Syria. “bUt wE bAnNEd ruSsIa in 2022.” Dude, you all missed a fucking decade.

Secondly, Ukrainians have been trying to uphold their contestants to some standards for years. But I DO remember the annoyance of Eurovision fans about Maruv and Alina Pash being cancelled. “Music is out of politics.” “Why these fucking Ukrainians making everything so political.” The phrase “Crimea is Ukraine” was turned into a meme. Yeah, why do Ukrainians care so much about annexed territories and ongoing war.

And this year somehow became the year of politics. Two-faced morons

Four months ago this incredible family was blessed with a beautiful boy Timofey

Today he and his mother Anna were found under the rubble after russian drone attack on Odesa:

This is 3 years old Mark with his mother Anastasia. Tomorrow he could celebrate his birthday:

…but he won’t. His body was found under the rubble this morning. Along with his dad’s. His mother is in critical condition in a hospital.

This is their house in Odesa. One of the hundreds of thousands Ukrainian houses ruined by russia. 8 people killed. Zero military sense, pure terrorism. That’s just what russia does. Every day. For more than 2 years.

This is Tara. She’s a rescue dog. Today, Tara, along with two other service dogs and rescuers, found the body of a murdered child in the ruins. Tara lay down and cried:

I’d very much want to lay down and cry too. But I can’t. I can’t feel anything anymore. I’m just very very cold.

Babyn Yar, 82 years past.

Last year, I walked there a lot - and couldn't help but cry, every time. You always knew the Holocaust happened, and what it happened to Ukraine as well, but there, in the memorial park, you see the photos, read the text describing it, you see these ravines, you walk along the graves/monuments of the Jewish cemetery, you listen to the prayers and memorial songs... Can you not cry?

And then there's the rocket attack on Babyn Yar last year. And there's the occupation, execution of civilians, mobile crematoriums. The theater, inscription "KIDS". "Filtration camps". Deportation of children. Blowing up the prisoners' barrack. The damn. The market. The train station... No, I couldn't.

82 years later, and the only thing that changed is the language of the invaders.

it's always 'ukraine was being invaded', not 'russian-ukrainian war'. always. it always was, as if russians didn't bomb one of europe's largest printing houses in kharkiv last week and the invasion ended after 2 months. it's always invasion, as if russians don't bomb the whole ukrainian territory every single day - civil infrastructure, residential quarters, schools and printing houses. you're against terrorism, violence and war crimes until you're uncomfortable. because for some reason, the world is absolutely comfortable with russia killing thousands of ukrainians. of course, it's not comfortable to live in a world with a literal war in europe. but how comfortable is it to live in a warring country that is being destroyed every day? how comfortable are children to go to school only to spend half the day in a shelter? how comfortable are people waking up without knowing if they will even wake up tomorrow? or if their close ones will wake up tomorrow?

you're either with a terrorist state, or with ukraine. there is nothing outside of politics. you are politics. people's lives are also politics. being neutral is the same support for russia. choose a side.

New pfp!

And a little meme with my OCs so that this post is more interesting. =)

I'm kinda ill, though the sun is shining, so my mood is slightly happier each time I look out the window. ☀️✨️ The news is awful lately, so please consider supporting Ukraine in any way you can. You can always DM me for any info on this topic. Slava Ukraini!

Я трохи хворію, хоча сяє сонце, тому мій настрій стає злегка веселішим щоразу, як я дивлюся у вікно. ☀️✨️ Останнім часом новини жахливі, однак тримаймося та працюймо. Дякую всім, завдяки кому ми ще живі. Слава Україні!

Meanwhile, Polish farmers continue to block the Ukrainian border. While Polish government, authorities and society as a whole does absolutely nothing about it, so i guess they're all fine with it.

Does Poland really want to share the border with russia, after all? Miss being a russian colony no matter what?

Poland has provided a lot of help to Ukraine, which is important and matters a lot, but now it looks like they really are trying to revert it as much as possible.
