Five days of Russian full-scale military invasion in Ukraine.

Five days of death, pain & suffering.

And it's not over.

It's only getting worse.

I will continue writing these daily threads with updates about the war in Ukraine and pleading for your help to stop this nightmare.
We really REALLY need your help to stop this:

- retweet messages about the Russian invasion
- write to your polititians and demand real action
- donate to Ukrainian army & charities

If Russia conquers Ukraine, it won't stop there. It will continue attacking other countries.
Tonignt Russia was bombing Kyiv with something big.

Some sources say it could be "Iskander" shell on the video, but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

In any case, the explosion is utterly terrifying.
And this is the city of Kherson, under massive rocket bombing:
Ukrainian media keeps the spirits high and shares lots of content with our wins in many battles.

I see some infographics with Russian losses (planes, tanks, soldiers, etc).

But what bothers me is that our own losses are not being announced.

I understand that it's for the sake of keeping us calm and focused on the task at hand.

But I won't be surprised if our losses were just as big.

Which is terrifying.

Putin tells his soldiers that Ukrainians are under severe oppression and are waiting to be saved and protected by the Russian army.

Hopefully these new road signs will plant a tiny seed of doubt in their heads.
It's not a comedy show, even though it surely looks like it.

It's how Russians are intimidated by their police.
A Ukrainian lady is trying to explain to Russian soldiers (in plain Russian) that there's no oppression of Russian-speaking people in Ukraine and they don't need to be saved or freed from anyone.

Russian solders only bring death and terror to Ukraine. Not peace.
Putin supplied his soldiers with food packs that expired in 2015.

The guy clearly doesn't give a flying f#ck about the well-being of his army.

Sure, why waste money feeding the cannon fodder?
The beautiful city of Odessa.

Once this war is over and Ukraine wins, please make sure to put Odessa on your list of places to visit. It's absolutely gorgeous in summer. You'll love it.
Heart-breaking...
Russian propaganda will keep saying that they only shell military objects...
Kharkiv, Freedom square, state administration building
...& the consequences:
HUGE explosion in Kharkiv region.

What kind of weapons of mass destruction have those freaking Russians started using? 🤬

Having two of my own children at home in Singapore safe and sound, these photos break my heart.

Every day I'm donating money to various Ukrainian charities (global and individual) to alleviate the suffering of my people at least a tiny little bit.
Another shell hitting right into the residential building!

This time it's Kherson (70 kilometers from my own hometown).

More Kherson :(

Six days of war in Ukraine.

No major city was conquered by Russians so far.

Putin must be furious right now.

The big scary Russia with all its military gloly is barely having any progress at all.

Every day I start a new thread and share the updates which strike me the most
But there's a downside to that lack of progress too.

Putin can't afford to lose this, because that woul be the end of him.

So he has started bombing our cities more heavily.

The video shows (allegedly) the "3M-54 Kalibr" missile.
Reasons why Russian army is struggling:

- Lack of motivation
Many of the captured Russian soldiers say they weren't explicitly told they're going to war with Ukraine. It was more like "just go this way" kind of order.

🇺🇦 are the opposite. Furious and highly motivated.

New day, new thread with updates about Russian military invasion in Ukraine.

Today would be the 5th day of the war.

There are tons of news on Twitter already, but I feel compelled to share the most notable updates that I'm seeing in Ukrainian news outlets.

#UkraineUnderAttack
Today Ukrainian delegation will be having negotiations with the Russians.

They'll meet at Belarussian border. (Russians are already there waiting, Ukrainians are on the way.)

Somehow I'm pretty sure that Russians will have some utterly ridiculous demands.

But we'll see...
One of the officials in Ukrainian delegation is Davyd Arakhamia, who I happen to know personally.

(He co-founded TemplateMonster, where I used to work at some point.)

The guy is super smart and I have zero doubts in his negotiation skills. 💪

Wish them luck. 🙏

This is my second thread about the Russian military agression against Ukraine.

The first one got too long, so I'll just start a new one every day.

Please help spread the word & tag your country's politicians to pressure them to do something meaningful. 🙏

The war in #Ukraine continues...

My hometown is under attack for 2 days now.

My friends had to sleep in cold bombshelters together with their families and small children.

People are shocked & terrified.

Many are dead, many more are wounded.

WE NEED TO STOP THIS!
When I started tweeting about the war in Ukraine, I thought most people would ignore me.

But I got TONS of support from you folks!

HUGE THANKS for helping me spread the information about the war in our community of digital marketers. 🙏

But the war is NOT OVER!

F-ing Putin is still attacking my home country!

Likes and retweets do help, but they are not enogh.

I'm BEGGING you to put more pressure on your government officials!

Start tagging your polititians in conversations about Ukraine and demand a reaction!

These children are now hiding in Kyiv subway because of regular air attacks in the city.

I can't even imagine what their parents feel right now.
And here is Kyiv itself.
