It's Vyshyvanka Day y'all!! Go and appreciate beauty of Ukrainian national clothes cause my art is just a small part of how majestic it looks
I’m so fucking tired.
We shouldn’t be “racist” to Russian. We shouldn’t be “xenophobic” to them. We shouldn’t be russophobic. We should have helped them. We should be more accepting. We must be forgiving. We cannot have a trauma response. We cannot avoid Russian.
We cannot do that and that. Also that.
We must do that and that. Also, that.
We cannot complain. We cannot show our suffering. We are at fault. We must negotiate. We must be silent. We have all deserved. We should have been destroyed. We need to understand. We need to be grateful.
Today I had to publicly defend a Ukrainian 14-year old child simply because he feels uncomfortable to engage with Russian art accounts. Child whose country for most of his life is at war with Russia. Child who spent night sheltering from rockets.
But he doesn’t have a right to be uncomfortable with oppressors.
He is xenophobic.
He is racist.
But Russians that arrived at his posts and started mocking him, are not.
“They are victims of bullying, so it is justified response”
Everyone can have a justified response. Everyone, except us. Because we must be a perfect victim. Or not victim at all? Maybe we are the one that attacked? Maybe we are nazis? There would be always 1001 arguments we do not deserve to be called victims.
World was watching us suffering for centuries. They disarmed us, left us defenceless and then, didn’t even help us a lot until we started screaming. Sometimes I feel that even now, people are still watching at us like at some drama, putting million expectations.
I’m feeling absolutely helpless. Whatever we do, we cannot do. No matter how we react, we should have reacted differently.
We owe everyone everything and no one owes us anything. Wonderful world to live in.
I’m losing motivation. I’m losing hope. I want to scream and cry. But it is also hopeless.
Why us? Why now? Why?
I swear we will never forget how the slow death of these babies was literally being televised.
The whole world knows now that these babies have had their oxygen cut off from them by israel and the whole world knows that the hospital they are in is being bombarded by israel and the whole world knows that the families of these babies were being held hostages at gunpoint by israel inside the Al Shifa hospital.
The whole world also knows three of these babies have died already as the NICU shuts down.
Those who are silent about Israel's atrocities have made a deliberate choice to go down in history as the most shameless cowards. This is a very avoidable tragedy that you have chosen to maintain with your silence.
These 100 days flew by so quickly. Feels like I drew it yesterday.

Ці 100 днів пролетіли так швидко. Відчуття, наче арт був намальований мною вчора.
100 days until the party.
100 днів до вечірки.
So majestic, those russkies
20 Days in Mariupol (Mstyslav Chernov, 2023)
"An emotionally devastating account of the inhumanity of war."
"Documentary film-making rarely gets more impactful and devastating than this personalised account of life inside the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol at the start of last year’s Russian invasion."
"My son was tortured by separatists (those who believe Donbas and Crimea are russian). His documents were handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Inhumans carved a kolovrat on his face." - mother of the soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ivan Isyk.
A month after his death, the body of 30-year-old Ivan was given to his parents.
An autopsy performed by Ukrainian doctors revealed that his internal organs had been cut out and later sewn back into his body. A piece of the Ukrainian flag was found in his throat, and brain fragments were found in his stomach. And Ivan Isyk, who was still alive, had a kolovrat carved on his cheek (the symbol of the "Rusich" battalion, where maniacs Petrovsky and another ghoul named Milchakov served.)
This photo shows Russian neo-Nazi Yan Petrovsky, who was arrested by Finland in July 2023:
We must never forget that back in 2014, the Ukrainian Hero, a simple boy from Drohobych IVAN ISYK, died at the cost of his life with a terrible death":
"The children have just begun to live. We feel sorry for our country, they (russins) are killing us and no one is doing anything."
Locals have been bringing flowers and toys to the site in Kryvyi Rih since morning where children were killed in a russian attack on April 4. Nine children were killed in a russian Iskander missile strike. Six remain in hospitals, most of them in serious condition.

The mosaic by the Sixtier Opanas Zalyvakha is almost completely laid out with natural stone. On the sides, there is the inscription "Чим хата багата, тим і рада". ("With what the house is rich, with that the house is happy). One of the most beautiful mosaics in Ivano-Frankivsk.
From now on instead of answering stupid questions like "What did russian language did to you, it's only a language" I will share this poem.
"Ravenous Russia (A Bestiary)" by Yuriy Tarnawsky
