we're buying generators and portable gas burners. cause when you are fighting Russia, you have to be ready for the most despicable attacks against civilians. Russian propagandists already talk about how they must pressure us into submission by hunger, cold ad darkness. 👇
Meanwhile, Putin said the attacks on power facilities in Kharkiv, Poltava, and the attack on the dam in Kryvyi Rih, were "a warning". So current #UNSC member basically says: If you keep winning on the war front, we're going to commit mass war crimes against civilians
everything feels surreal. Like the Winter the #GameOfThrones characters were so afraid of. Yet, we know how it ended for the ice king. BTW, Winterisation is also one of the main topics at the UN this assembly. feels like I would be writing like hell.
While we are ready to stay strong, hospitals, industries, and emergency rooms are more vulnerable to the attacks on civilian infrastructure in Europe. Just a reminder, that Ukraine is not far from EU borders.

As Armed Forces of Ukraine storm Russian occupied Balakalia in Kharkiv Oblast, Russian military reporters are crying: we thought main strike would be in Kherson. Aaah we got f.cked hard!"
Kyiv doesn't confirm that yet. As we have operational silence. Yet the info is already there. If you read Russian, here is the one I quote
So I guess operational silence and no "breaking exclusives" ahead really do good.

Ukrainian segment of Twitter and Facebook is now fighting over Bulgakov, with part saying he should not be canceled for the open Ukrainophobia cause of his supposedly genius pieces about Kyiv. Another part wants to cancel him for his hate of Ukr. identity.👇
I watched the debate from a distance, thinking Bulgakov was a completely overrated drug addict. Even Bunin was better. But this is an interesting and underreported part of the Russian war against Ukraine, I really want to cover for someone. 👇
It is the identity war. Before the invasion most Ukrainains, including me, were observing those, calling for the debates, calling to ban everything Russian, as passionate weirdos and nationalists. Yet, those weirdoes were right. Because Russia has weaponized its culture, language

personally, I think every Russian applying for a visa now, must be checked before he or she gets it. Including social media. if fascism is there, ban the Russian. If he or she still harrases people after getting a visa - deported and banned forever. But.👇
those saying "you won't get Russians to stop fascism by cutting their ways to normal society that must educate them" shut the f up. nobody owns everything to Russian. for more than 30 years they were treated as special oil kids all over the world. this did not change them at all
nobody owes anything to the nation, where the majority doesn't give a shit about anyone, wants to take all bonuses of the West yet at the same time uses every opportunity to say "we will come and bomb them, they will know как родину любить.

Amnesty International again. When staffers of Ukraine's office said they did not take part in the report and their opinion was ignored I felt I'd heard this before.many now prefer not to listen to Ukrainians as we, as a side of the conflict, are biased, emotional and crazy.👇
We are seen as the "crazy lady, screaming out of her window". Unline Western experts or, in many cases, Russian oppositioners, who are seen as "unbiased".👇
I've experienced this while working as a fixer for two years. I've heard phrases like: "Phew, do you want us to leave your country? Do you, really?" from a senior US journalist, whom I dared to argue with.👇

What scares me is how many people nowadays see serious geopolitical shakeups, invasions, and genocides as a "move their team made cause it was necessary to win". Like the world is now a football field. This kind of approach simplifies reality for people yet it is cruel.👇
Like if people hate Azov, they hate Ukraine and think that the whole country deserves to be annihilated just because there's Azov there. they don't know history of Azov, its transformations, its sacrifices. 👇
or another "favorite": Ukraine bombed Donbas for 8 years, so you deserve this. So your logic here lies in to revenge for those civilians killed in a country, more civilians of the same country must be killed". What kind of maniacs can think so even if they don't support Ukraine?
