Russian mothers are going to put the hurt on Putin
“As a courtesy to the mothers of those soldiers, we are disseminating this information over social media to at least let families know that they they’ve lost their sons and to then enable them to come to collect their bodies,” Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s vice prime minister
Many have been calling for a street to be renamed in support of Ukraine and it’s president, but someone has made a street sign and added it to the railings outside the consulate on Windsor Street.
The pedestrian path is also surrounded by banners and decoration in support of Ukraine following the invasion of Russia.
Messages left include “stand with Ukraine”, “support Ukraine” and “UK help Ukraine”.
I drew this pic of sunset in Kharkiv village two years ago. Now it reminds me about peaceful sky under my country, unharmed town and lovely springtime. My life is divided into before and after. But I still hope forever Ukraine will be safe and free. Our enemy is huge and terrifying at first sight. But he doesn’t have the main things. He doesn’t have unity and truth. We are on our land and we’ll protect it. Slava Ukraini.
More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

This is an old tactic of Russian imperialism: stealing people and sending them to the hinterlands. Russia deported them almost 10000 km away from home.
Nothing new, Russia has been doing it for centuries.
Western people: strange and horrifying, how can Russia do it to people!
Polish or Estonian people hearing about deportations of Ukrainians into Siberia, thousands kilometers from home, and forcing them to live there and to work for pittance: ah yes, we were wondering when Russia will.start doing it again.
Yup, a tactics Russia has been using against citizens of its occupied/invaded territories as well as its own dissenters and criminals since at least early 18th century. The only difference is that those Mariupol people are given any money and are not put in labour camps to be then worked to death, though the latter would not surprise me in the slightest if it happened. I still cannot believe that stuff from history books that I believed died in the mid-20th century is happening in my lifetime.
I’m happy to add another beautiful flag to my already very colourful collection of flags. Supporting peace, freedom and democracy requires only two easily obtainable dyes: Storm Blue and Honey Yellow!
I want to share with you my favorite Ukrainian singers
1. ONUKA (literally: granddaughter) is a Ukrainian electro-folk band. It was created in 2013 by Ukrainian musicians Yevhen Filatov and Nata Zhyzhchenko
2. Kazka is a Ukrainian band that performs pop with elements of electro-folk. Since its creation in 2017, vocalist Oleksandra Zaritska.
3. Max Barskih is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter.
NEBO is my favorite song, he wrote it in Ukrainian.
After russia invaded Ukraine, he joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine, left his little son at home and defends our homeland. This is his last track dedicated to the war in Ukraine in this music video you can see real footage of the destruction of russian fascists, who came to our land to commit genocide of the Ukrainian people.
4. The Hardkiss is a Ukrainian rock band.
They participated in the Ukrainian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song “Helpless”. The band placed 2nd in the national final. The Hardkiss were formed in 2011 by wife and husband - lead singer Julia Sanina and guitarist Valeriy Bebko.
This week we’re going to pick up these babies, their mother was killed by the russians. And 24 more dogs and cats from the liberated villages from russian orcs.
☝This guy lost his job due to the war and he can’t feed or treat abandoned animals.
Last time thanks your donations, we were able to feed over 30 animals. 7 of them were sent for treatment because they suffered deafness and were injured after the explosions. And we have already posted about it:
Also we were able to get not only food, but gasoline (it’s a very difficult situation with gasoline in Ukraine right now, very expensive and hard to get) in order to be able to get to the small villages that we liberated from the russian orcs.
So please help if you can, we will provide video and photo reports, checks.
