To people who accuse Ukrainians of attention-seeking, I always have a very simple question:

❓Why wouldn’t you be seeking attention if there was a genocidal war happening in your country?

Wouldn’t you try to draw everyone’s attention to it? How is it a bad thing at all?
When he is dressed in a suit - “how dares he to have this luxury, there’s people in his country dying!😭🕊”

Wearing a sweatshirt - “he didn’t even bother to dress properly, how disrespectful!😡🤬”

In reality, those people are just pissed off that Ukrainians are doing a great… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Last summer @ZelenskaUA Vogue photoshoot was criticised for the "unfeminine" pose in which our First Lady was sitting.

In response to criticism, Ukrainian women launched a flashmob under the hashtag #sitlikeagirl

"There’s no purgatory for war criminals.

They go straight to hell."

No words can describe the damage done over the last year to Ukrainian fundraising,

and even worse, to pro-Ukraine info space, by these "sUpPoRTeRs".

What they did is beyond disgraceful.
In the beginning of the full scale invasion, the same people who are behind @MriyaReport @MriyaAid came up with a lie -

about Ukraine's most transparent and reputable foundation - Come Back Alive (CBA) being "hacked".

At the same time, @Patreon blocks their page too: Image
Those first days were critical for our defence.

The central bank introduced limits on foreign currency transfers in and out of Ukraine to stop the run on the hryvnia.

The fiat system was not working for Ukraine.

Ukraine is set up from every side at this moment.

"When it became clear that they would soon be kicked out, Kamaz vehicles began to come every day and loot as much as possible. 

Moreover, some of them were also civilians."

"They were looting absolutely everything, even the concrete was looted in pieces, sand was collected on the streets, tiles were knocked down in the houses..

Just absolutely fucking everything."

Dr. Timothy D. Snyder, 2017:

“So we ask, why all these basic points are not remembered?

Why is it not always remembered that Ukraine was the center of Hitler's ideology?”

@TimothyDSnyder
“Why is it not always remembered that if you want to understand the Holocaust, we have to start with Ukraine?”

Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom Vadym Prystaiko was speaking at @OxfordUnion this week.

It was a huge honour for me to speak there a few weeks ago and I’m very happy they invited @VPrystaiko too 💙💛

@UniofOxford students are the future decisions makers and their… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Same here. I literally just want for @TetyanaWrites to leave me alone. I don't understand how a respected writer has time for this.

This is vile, especially for someone who publicly talks about how important it is for Ukrainians and allies to be united.

This is what she sends… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
When Tetyana messaged last night, one of the things I said to her was this:

"You help spread the vile russian lies that have us killed - on days when all Ukrainians are grieving. And after this you make it look like “you never wanted any of it”?"

No one was bothering her at… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

❓Remember we told you that the russian opposition is an oxymoron? 🦄

I mean, it's so moving to see Mikhail Khodorkovsky @mbk_center @mich261213 and @navalny's chief of staff @leonidvolkov worry at this difficult time about the people most affected by this war 🕊

Oh, wait...… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Ah, never happened before and here we go again...

"I believe to impose sanctions on him was wrong" - @mbk_center @mich261213

❓You know what's wrong, Misha?

Being killed in your home with cruise missiles.

But that's not what your concern is.

"Khodorkovsky isn’t the only Russian opposition activist calling for sanctions to be tied to public criticism of the war."

Another clown - @leonidvolkov, chief of staff of @navalny

Yep, the same guy who had the audacity to say the West should give russia a Marshal Plan after… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
