Parlo l'italiano ma non commento quasi più per i media lì. Ho cercato di raccontare l'Ucraina dal 2013. Mi fa fisicamente male il livello di disinformazione. Si mette sullo stesso piano l'aggressore e la vittima, si dà spazio agli ignoranti e corrotti. Non ce la faccio più
Per chi ha chiesto della mia relazione con l'Italia, indicata sul profilo: ho imparato l'italiano da sola da adolescente, ho sognato l'Italia. Poi, ho fatto la laurea in Italia. Ho sempre amato l'Italia, ma dall'inizio della guerra nel 2014 è cambiato tutto. Mi fa troppo male
Il caso Markiv ha spezzato questa relazione ulteriormente. I soldati e la diaspora ucraina definiti nazisti sulle maggiori testate italiane. Un innocente condannato a 24 anni in un processo mediatico farlocco. Poi assolto in appello e cassazione. Nessuno mai si è scusato
Per chi vorrebbe sapere di più su questo processo e il ruolo di disinformazione filorussa in esso, ecco la ricerca che ho scritto un anno fa, in inglese: uacrisis.org/en/battle-of-n…
Certo,ci sono bravissimi giornalisti italiani - in realtà le più brave sono le donne - che raccontano le cose come stanno senza pregiudizi verso l'Ucraina, e li ringrazio. Ma io in questo periodo devo pensare alla sopravvivenza e non ho energie per combattere la disinfo in Italia
Sono molto grata per i messaggi di sostegno all'Ucraina dei cittadini italiani. Vi prego, leggete la storia dell'Ucraina: libri di Andrea Graziosi, Anne Applebaum, Timothy Snyder, Serhy Plokhy. Almeno alcuni sono tradotti. Cercate di informarvi dalle fonti in altre lingue. Grazie
Per informazioni veritiere dall'Ucraina in italiano, seguite questo account gestito da buoni amici e colleghi twitter.com/uaworldit?t=X_…
Stasera alle ore 20 ci sarò sulla @RadioRadicale per raccontare la storia di questo thread
Qui ho raccontato la storia del mio legame personale con l'Italia, come cercavo da anni di raccontare l'Ucraina nei media italiani e perché ho quasi smesso a farlo radioradicale.it/scheda/662304/…

You know why Ukrainians will win this war? Because they are united as never before. I will tell you about a huge effort of solidarity unfolding right now in the Ukrainian society, just one example. Let's start.
We are in the Western Ukraine 🧵
The sirens have been heard here too and people had to hide in bomb shelters. However, it is still safe, the area has not been affected by the fighting. The most important change here is a big number of internally displaced persons, who flocked here from Kyiv, Kharkiv, etc
On the first day of Russian invasion, a local youth center has been spontaneously transformed into a place where locals started to bring humanitarian assistance. Young people who earlier came here for lectures or film screenings, showed up willing to volunteer

Day seven of Russia's war on Ukraine. Kyiv and Kharkiv are standing, but many civilians killed by Russian missiles. Ukrainians destroyed a huge military convoy in Mykolayiv reg. Our army is great in land combat, but our children need protection from missiles falling from the sky
It's heartbreaking to watch the last moments of life of a six-year old girl, killed by Russian airstrike. It's impossible not to weep. It's a failure of humanity if we do nothing to stop this. Ukraine is grateful for the support of the world, but it is unfortunately not enough.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994 under the Budapest memorandum, in exchange of security guarantees from the US, UK and Russia. These countries assured us they would protect our borders. Instead, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the US and UK buried their heads in the sand

I spoke on the phone with Oleksiy, whose apartment in Kyiv has been destroyed by a Russian missile in the early morning today. It was on the 22nd floor. He, his wife and three children luckily are unhurt because they were hiding in a bomb shelter at that time 🧵
'We heard a siren at about 8 am and went to the bomb shelter. There, we heard a loud bang, everything around us was shaking. Some time later, we saw photos in a neighbors' chat that our building was hit. We realized our apartment has been destroyed', Oleksiy told me
An entrepreneur in peace time, Oleksiy, his wife and three kids aged 8, 12 and 20 were unable to leave Kyiv earlier due to heavy fighting. Now, they also don't have a place to live. Oleksiy said they will probably have to spend next days and nights in the bomb shelter

I was staying strong today, not letting my emotions prevail. But I just read a post from my friend and burst into tears. As she and her 5-year old child woke up at the sound of explosions in Kyiv today, her daughter asked 'Mom, so is this war? Have Russians come to kill us?'
Why do our children in Ukraine have to experience this? Why do have have to ask this kind of questions? And - most importantly - what should we respond?
'We will never forgive them, right? We will not make peace and be friends with them? Never ever?' was the next thing this little kid asked.
Ukrainian young generation will never forgive Russians for what they are doing today.

Russian troops crossed into Ukraine from the direction of Crimea and are attacking slowly in two directions - towards Melitopol (Zaporizhia region) and Kherson. Our forces are ready to resist and defend our land - presidential aide Arestovych
He said the best situation at the moment is in the area of Joint forces operation in Donbas, where Ukrainian forces were able to defend Shchastya (Luhansk region), inflict casualties and destroy a lot of enemy equipment.
Ukrainian forces are repelling the attacks from the direction of Belarus, Rus forces entered 10-20 km into Ukraine's territory in Chernihiv region. Heavy battles raging 4-5 km from Kharkiv city in the East. Arestovych says Ukrainian conscripts destroyed four Russian tanks there
