this is one of the most important stories to understand ukraine & my generation that is in charge of it. thank you @mariamposts. as most of folks of my age in the west buy their first homes, get kids, start saving for retirement, ukrainians like me just live paycheck to paycheck
being raised in staggering poverty, coming of age through two revolutions, two severe recessions, pandemic, 8 years of war and now genocide, many of us work just to support our parents, grandparents, and now — our country
despite media narratives about unprecedented foreign help, the uncomfortable truth is that 90% of high-impact humanitarian support in ukraine is still financed by fellow ukrainians, ukrainians like me. from providing incomes to our extended families, to donating & volunteering

one of the calls with foreign colleagues ended with “let’s touch base on this after a summer break” 🤯
beyond me to comprehend how fellow europeans are still able to plan their summer vacations amid the largest genocide on the continent since ww2
not guilt tripping anyone but literally we live in different universes on the same continent with some

real story. picture this: i am decompressing with @Okwonga in berlin in public space, minding my own business. a dude he barely knows stops by. retirement age, old-uncle-at-family-dinner vibe. he hears i am ukrainian, all shit gets down.
dude starts broadcasting, looking literally past me. ukraine needs to try diplomacy, russians and ukrainians are brotherly nations. the us & nato are doing this — your usual program. i find the opening to intervene: “a ukrainian is sitting in front of you. any qs for me maybe?”
the dude ignores me, continues the tirade. i try one more time asking him my fav q: they come to our homes, they rape me, put a gun to my head, steal everything, kill my family. how ‘diplomatic solution’ looks for me in practice? he waves hand dismissively: ‘they don’t do it’

four years ago i was told #RussianColonialism is unpublishable, russophobic, far-fetched topic, inappropriate for a ukrainian to raise. today the hashtag has over 8 million in reach, its own newsletter, small content fund supported by my patreon fam and a book deal
we are still some years ahead of #RussianColonialism awareness being treated without a suspicion or an eye-roll by elite western circles, getting research grants, lecturer positions. but this is a powerful reminder that truth does prevail in the end
despite years of non-stop rejection, i just couldn't let this mission go. there are literally generations of people before me whose work on exposing #russiancolonialism was squashed, erased and ridiculed, both by russian colonial tyranny and the complicit west
