🧵: Making sure your Ukraine coverage is Ukraine-centered. Rampant russian propaganda has planted false narratives for years and the West views russian aggression and Ukraine's prospects through its own subjective lens. The solution: consuming a range of Ukrainian content. 1/14

Ukrainian English-language independent media deliver breaking news, first-person narratives, and glimpses into Ukrainian life, culture, and history. They are experts on the Ukrainian context. 2/14

When Ukrainians are featured in Western mainstream publications, their contributions are top notch. Case in point: @NikaMelkozerova’s multiple excellent pieces in @TheAtlantic 3/14

Another example is this article by @DmytroKuleba in @ForeignAffairs 4/14

And @Yermolenko_V’s thorough discussion of the manifestations of #russiancolonialism in russian literature in @ForeignPolicy 5/14

First-person accounts offer an experience near way of getting to know Ukrainian subjectivity. Each essay is a gift. The more of these you read, the more you will understand. One recent example is this piece by @alina_polyakova 6/14

Literary magazine @Apofenie edited by Ukrainian-based @TsurkanKate features numerous interviews and essays that give a window into first-hand Ukrainian experiences. Here is their latest essay by Maryna Prykhodko from the front line. 10/14 apofenie.com/letters-and-es…

#UkrainianSpaces by @maksymeristavi and @Val_Voshchevska is an excellent English-language resource (and podcast!) that amplifies Ukrainian voices and combats #russiancolonialism 11/14 linktr.ee/ukrainianspaces

There is more to Ukraine than russia's war. Get to know our art and culture. For Ukrainian art, check out @patsulanastya @ukr_arthistory @PrymachenkoArt @NAMU_120. For Ukrainian music, this thread by @LvivNightingale can be a jumping off point. 13/14

English speakers have ample content created by Ukrainians available to them at their fingertips. If you find yourself gravitating toward Western publications & writers, remember, this is a choice. This thread is a sample platter, not an exhaustive list. Additions welcome. 14/14
