1000 days of bravely resisting Russia’s full-scale invasion have shown us the true value of every single day. We remember the cost of each day in these thousand behind us. All these stories tell us why ➡️

Russia’s war against Ukraine is genocidal by nature – it targets and attacks real people. Some of these attacks have taken the lives of entire generations, as whole families – parents, grandparents, children — were killed in a single strike in their own homes 🕯

On November 11, 2024, Russia attacked
a high-rise building in #KryvyiRih, taking the lives of Olena, 32, and three children: Kyrylo (10), Demyd (2,8), and Uliana (2 months). The father is the only member of the family that survived.

Among 59 people, killed in Russia’s attack on a café on October 5, 2023, in the village of #Hroza, Kharkiv region, were Valentyna Kozyr's husband, son, daughter, and grandson. The defender, for whom a memorial service was held then, was also a relative of their family.
We officially deny the insinuations of unnamed sources in the BILD publication regarding Ukraine's alleged plans to develop weapons of mass destruction ⬇️
Ukraine has been and remains a committed party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to which it acceded in 1994, having renounced the world's third most powerful military nuclear capability.
Ukraine, which has made the greatest contribution to international peace, security and nuclear non-proliferation in history, is now facing nuclear blackmail from the terrorist state of Russia.
#OTD we pay tribute to the memory of Ukrainians – victims of forced resettlement from Lemkivshchyna, Nadsiannia, Kholmshchyna, Southern Pidlashschia, Lubachivshchyna, Western Boikivshchyna and the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the deportation of Ukrainians from there 🕯
At least 482,000 Ukrainians fell victim to this policy of the communist regime, suffering repression, confiscation of property, and human rights abuses during the resettlement.
The criminal Stalinist regime used this practice as one of the shameful methods of repression and enslavement, a way to destroy the national identity. As part of this policy, an act of genocide, forced deportation, was committed against the Crimean Tatar people in 1944.
#Russia tries to undermine efforts of the international community aimed at establishing humanitarian corridors from #Mariupol. Now, it manipulates agreements reached by Secretary-General António Guterres and Russia’s President.
Rejection of the agreement announced by the Secretary-General highlights #Russia’s continued disregard towards the UN Charter and core principles of international law.
#Russian troops continue to hold residents of Mariupol and injured #Ukrainian defenders as hostages at the #Azovstal steelworks. The invaders shell and bomb the plant, trying to eliminate the symbol of #Mariupol’s resistance at any cost.
More than 500 injured #Ukrainian defenders are blocked at the #Azovstal steelworks in #Mariupol. They need urgent medical treatment, as every hour is crucial for saving their lives.
The plant is almost destroyed. #Russia's bombs and airstrikes have killed dozens of #Ukrainian soldiers who had been defending #Mariupol. They need to be buried appropriately.
By blocking humanitarian corridors for injured combatants, #Russia violates basic principles of international humanitarian law. #Russian troops brutally abuse the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field.
