Today is the first day of winter and I want you to watch this video of Christmas #Mariupol as it was a year ago, when the city and its residents didn’t yet know what awaited them in 2 months.

I created this account during the early days of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine to inform the world about russian war crimes against civilians. Over two years of nearly daily reporting, I've reached a point where I must pause for the sake of my mental well-being. 1/5
As a sensitive and empathic person, the horror and grief that russia brings to the people of Ukraine has deeply affected me. The recent tragedy in Odesa triggered a nervous breakdown in me, a clear sign that it's time for me to take a rest for my soul & mind. 2/5
I've scheduled a session with a therapist and am committed to taking time for my mental health, to prevent losing myself amidst the overwhelming sorrow I've been dedicating myself to. 3/5

A thread I wrote with trembling hands. I feel exactly the same as I did in February 2022. I want to scream, beg, and cry, doing everything possible just so that my cry for help is heard and my hometown of Kharkiv is protected.
#SaveKharkiv
Only yesterday, russian troops attacked Kharkiv three times during the day with various types of missiles, NONE of which were shot down! Dozens of houses were destroyed, ten people, including children, were killed, and more than 70 were wounded.
Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine, is now home to more than a million people who live in constant fear of dying under the rubble of their own homes due to a russian missile strike. I live in the same way.

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who died during the #Holodomor. It was the genocide of Ukrainians, organized by the USSR in 1932-1933, the purpose of which was to suppress resistance to the communist regime and to eradicate Ukrainians as an independent nation.
1/
In 1928, the USSR announced a policy of collectivization. Private farms were transferred to the collective farm of state ownership. People were paid for their work with natural products, which weren’t enough to feed their families.
2/
This aroused the resistance of farmers, who began to leave the collective farms, taking equipment and livestock. To keep the collective farms in the hands of the state, the government of the USSR adopted a repressive decree, which is popularly known as the "Law of 5 spikelets"
