We're starting a campaign #MariupolGenocide. The world should known about atrocities happening in this wonderful city. Russians are wiping it off the face of the earth
#MariupolGenocide
People can't get out of Mariupol. Locals said they were not allowed to leave the city, the city is "closed" for 5-7 days. #MariupolGenocide
#MariupolGenocide
this is how a building can burn #MariupolGenocide
A week ago. Bomb shelter of Azovstal in Mariupol. Children, elderly. A man says there is little to eat. Asked why they didn't evacuate. "A long road, difficult to make with children, elderly will not cope". Look at their faces, strong and concentrated. #MariupolGenocide
part of the building cut. #MariupolGenocide
when buildings become sceletons.. #MariupolGenocide
it's not a paper house. #MariupolGenocide
nothingness inbetween.. #MariupolGenocide
new transparency.. #MariupolGenocide
Apocalypse now.. #MariupolGenocide
Nothing has left.. #MariupolGenocide
Russian tank deliberately hits a residential building to kill as many civillians as possible in Mariupol. #MariupolGenocide
Mariupol is totally destroyed. Russia has truly erased this Ukrainian city from existence.

#MariupolGenocide
some insides from Mariupol tell us that the number of victims can be 30,000-40,000 people in this city alone. #MariupolGenocide
our sources say Russians are deporting people from Mariupol to Rostov and Taganrog in Russia; some are sent further. Men are deprived of their passports and are kept in Mariupol or Russians camps near it. #MariupolGenocide
our sources say that people started losing information connection from Mariupol around 3 March. Initial Russian strikes hit electricity substations and key utilities / communication. People are withiut electricity / heating / water for almost one month already. 1/2
People died not only from shelling but also from hunger, cold weather (-10 celcius at times), heart attacks and exhaustion 2/2 #MariupolGenocide
Why Russians decided to annihilate Mariupol, mostly Russian-speaking city with a Greek name? One of the interpretations: to put the blame on "Ukrainian Nazis" from Azov and prove to Russian citizens that this cruel war against Ukrainian "non-humans" is justified 1/3
Nobody will explain to Russians that Ukrainian army doesn't have any capacity to shell Mariupol with missiles and air strikes, to hit Drama Theater with 500-kg bomb and kill 300 people in a second 2/3
So the Russian tactics is: 1) do the atrocity 2) blame you enemy for the atrocity 3) by this, justify yet another atrocity 3/3 #MariupolGenocide
#Mariupol is still closed.
The occupiers don't allow neither buses nor cars to evacuate citizens, adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol.

Ukrainian women recall the first days of the full-scale #Russian invasion.

1. Anna, Kyiv

"On February 23, I was at a stand-up, seeing a good friend. Two days later, I was already in a settlement nestled in the mountains, where I sought solace in photographing nature.

On February 24, I never took a photo. That day we went to #Zakarpattia where a friend of my parents sheltered us.

On February 24, I was so nervous during the journey, fearing that a missile might directly hit us. It was the worst day of my life."Image

2. Viktoriia, Ivano-Frankivsk

“After a truly long day with first air raid sirens and explosions, amidst uncertainty, I went out to find coffee.

The baristas, Kolya and Liubava, told me that the coffee was for free. They did it to support people. They also added that if I wanted to, I could leave a tip, which they would send to the #Ukrainian army.

I nearly cried from this show of kindness and resilience of Ukrainian people.”Image
3. Natalia, #Kyiv

“In this photo, I'm crying in the car on the way to western #Ukraine.

My father came to Kyiv to organize my trip. He himself stayed in Kyiv and then joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. My partner Zhenia remained in the capital as well, and after seeing me off went back to his workplace (he is a doctor)”.Image

Complex history of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts has always been shrouded in myths. So how does this complexity shape our knowledge of Eastern Ukraine? 1/ ukraineworld.org/en/articles/an…
UkraineWorld spoke with Kateryna Zarembo, the author of The Rise of Ukraine's Sun. Donetsk and Luhansk Oblast's History at the Turn of the 21st Century. Key points in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 2/
The events and activities, described in the book, take place between two Ukrainian revolutions - the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity. The communities I describe have one thing in common: they are all part of a political nation. 3/

For The Guardian, UW's editor-in-chief @yermolenko_v reconstructs #Europe's historical war context.

Where is the line between humanity and the right to defend one's land? Is the desire for peace alone enough to withstand the enemy?

Europe's conception of itself after the second world war focused on the self-evidence of peace. It asked how peace could be enlarged territorially, but not how peace should be defended.

War and conflict are considered consequences of human insanity and the only reason people fight is that they did not have the chance to talk enough to each other.

Forbidden to be who you truly are and being torn away from your roots - this is the agony Ukrainian children are put through after their deportation and occupation.

How does Russia forcefully “re-educates” Ukraine children? Read here👇 1/

ukraineworld.org/en/articles/an…
The Russian policy of forced “re-education” is genocidal in nature because, in the context of deportation, children are forcibly relocated from one ethnic group to another in order to change their identity. 2/
Discriminatory practices are enforced on all Ukrainian children under occupation. They must study Russian language, history, and culture without the Ukrainian alternative. Thus, Ukrainian children are cut off from their normal cultural environment. 3/

Do you believe it's possible to colonise knowledge? The answer - a resounding yes.
To find out about the current misconceptions of knowledge on Ukraine, and how this way of thinking can be decolonized read our full #UkraineWorldAnalysis 👇 1/
ukraineworld.org/en/articles/an…
Ukraine faces traces of colonial relations both in culture and education, particularly during war. This is especially noticeable when Ukraine puts forward its perspective on Russian aggression and when attempting to change what a number of states believe about the war. 2/
The 🇷🇺 full-scale invasion of 🇺🇦 has posed a challenge to Western political science and international relations, as it has called into question the relevance and accuracy of a large body of knowledge in the Western intellectual community about Ukraine and Russia. 3/
