"you know, I have the perfect photo that sums up life in Chernihiv after the warfare in incredible vividness" by magniawoof on Twitter
today, February 24, second year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The tenth year of the war. A centurys of struggle. Thousands and thousands of killed and maimed people. Endless grief and pain. Fear and rage. If you have Ukrainian friends, support them today, this is a difficult day for all of us 🫂
Дзумбалик / Dzumbalyk
I am delighted with Ukrainian headdresses! They all look amazing and each one is unique. So, I want to make a series of illustrations on this topic)))
And this is the first illustration of the series. This is a dzumbalyk!
Ukrainian wedding headdress, or wedding wreath) was common in Ternopil region. It was decorated mainly with beads and paper flowers

Я в захваті від українських головних уборів! Вони всі виглядають неймовірно, і кожен унікальний. Тож, я хочу зробити серію ілюстрацій на цю тему)))
А це перша ілюстрація серії. Це - дзумбалик!
Український весільний головний убір, або весільний вінок) Був поширений на Тернопільщині. Декорувався переважно бісером і паперовими квітами
this artwork is dedicated to my killed, robbed, and colonized Ukrainian ancestors.
pretty devastating news just came in that if you want to be finished with your art project you have to work on it fairly consistently.

REMINDER: russia still occupies parts of georgia and ukraine since 2008 and 2014, respectively.
wanted to repost oksana and małgosia, i need to draw something with them again.
i really don't know how to get back to normal because my life is completely destroyed and everything feels like a continuous cycle of stress grief and pain, my closest people are dying, yesterday I buried my father, and today I received news that my uncle was seriously wounded. my older brother is a war veteran at the age of 23. I don't remember the last time I saw my mother without tears on her face. I am writing this at a time when the city is under threat of a ballistic attack and I hear the sounds of Iranian drones flying over the city. and at the same time I go online and see a bunch of people calling my position "ukrainian privileges" or some other delusion that calls us to be convenient victims and shuts us up so that people feel comfortable expressing their opinions while they wildly speculating on the tragedies of my people.

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST
I feel like not enough people know that both these memes come from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and that is very important information. you agree. reblog.
Reminder that this blog stands with Palestine and Ukraine, and if you have a problem with that, leave. Innocent people are losing their lives and their homes. Not even children are safe. And if you condone the killing of children... I have nothing to say to you. 🇵🇸🇺🇦
Київ, Україна / Kyiv, Ukraine, 1911
Karel Chotek
Kyiv this morning (January the 2nd) was mass shelled by russia with drones and ballistic missiles. I spent all the morning in a storage room that serves as a shelter in my house. Some of the missiles were flying over my head to Kyiv. My friends are saying it was really loud and in some cases debris fell not so far from their homes. There are injured people.
Kharkiv also were under a brutal attack, there are injured and dead.
Happy New Year from a fucking russia.
Don't ever forget that russia is a terrorist state
stories of children whose lives were taken by russians
1. Marharyta from Kharkiv region, 8 years old.
On June 21, cluster munitions fell in the yard of her family's house. Marharyta died instantly, her heart was pierced through. The girl's father, at the age of 36, has become completely gray. The mother cannot describe in words how she feels after losing her child.
2. Kyrylo from Kherson, 8 years old.
In April, the family evacuated from Kherson to Vinnytsia. On July 14, russia shelled the city, Kyrylo was in the car with his uncle. The boy died immediately from a fragment hitting his head, then an explosion occurred. The body was searched for several days. It was identified only through DNA analysis.
3. Daryna from Kharkiv region, 15 years old.
On March 13, a russian missile hit the family's house. When the father got to the hand of his dead daughter, he said: "Our Daryna is no more". She was buried in her native Dergachi. Mom recalls that the missiles flew over the people here and there. "Daryna, this is a farewell salute to you." said her father.
4. Polina, 8 years old.
On March 13, Polina and her mother wanted to evacuate Mariupol. As soon as they took a few steps outside, the russian military started shelling with mortars. Nadiya's mother died instantly. Both of Polina's legs and arms were broken. The girl was operated on in the city hospital. But on March 16, Polina's kidneys failed and she died. Polina was shooting videos on YouTube, dancing. She liked to change into different costumes and perform on stage.
5. Anna, 9 years old.
On March 19, an enemy shell hit near the house where Anna and her mother Yana were hiding. They went down to the basement. In the morning, slag began to fall from above. Several basement floor slabs fell on people. The mother rushed to help her daughter, but she could not pull her out from under the rubble on her own. Anya and other people remained buried in the basement. The girl liked to work with computers. Her mother promised that when Anya turned 10, she would enroll her in programming lessons. However...
6. Denys, 9 years old.
On September 3, the twins were walking in a park in Dnipropetrovs'k region. Suddenly, MLRS shells started flying. "I felt the space around me with my hand. He was at my feet. I went to him: "Danya, Danya ... ", but he was silent. Although they told me to lie down, I started crawling to my son. Ruslan was screaming next to me," the boy's mother recalls the shelling. On December 22, Denys was supposed to celebrate his birthday.
7. Oleksandr from Chernihiv, 13 years old.
On March 9, Sasha and his mother Tetyana decided to evacuate from Chernihiv. However, a shell exploded near the pedestrian column, and the boy was hit by many fragments. "He couldn't say anything, his eyes were closed, he was breathing heavily, he wheezed three times and died. He remained lying there," Sasha's mother recalls. In 2022, Sasha was an eighth grader. He was interested in the crypto market and dreamed of developing a YouTube channel for an english-speaking audience.

Good fucking morning from Ukraine after the massive shelling by russia with almost everything they've got. I personally heard pretty loud explosions over my head. Thanks to our air defence I am alive.
But still there are lots of injured people across all the country as well as some dead.
"Gentle" reminder that russia is a terrorist state

HOW YOU CAN HELP UKRAINIANS
At first, you can repost information about ruzzian terr0rism. It's really important, people must know about it.
You can just like, comment or save (if it's Instagram) post, it will boost photos or videos with evidence of russia's crimes.
You can support Ukrainians by your kind words. Like "I believe in Ukrainian victory", "I stand with you" etc.
And one of the best ways: DONATE.
You shouldn't sacrifice hundreds dollars, but even 50 cents can help defeat terr0rists!
