"Ukraine won’t bend We’ve lost so much that we have nothing else to lose but our dignity"

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

Three years ago today

🫡✈️ Since February 24, 2022, - 26,525 targets were shot down. ➡️ 370 — aircraft; ➡️ 331 — helicopters; ➡️ 40 Kinzhals; ➡️ 95 Iskander-M/KN-23; ➡️ 550 Kalibr; ➡️ 95 Iskander-K; ➡️ 1,801 Kh-101/Kh-55cm/Kh-555; ➡️ 460 Kh-59/Kh-69; ➡️ 25 missiles of other types; ➡️ 14,286 Shaheds; ➡️ 6,900 reconnaissance UAVs.

President is here... we are all here.”The video changed everything. Instead of fleeing into exile, Ukraine chose to fight. In the face of fear, they chose bravery, defying the odds and predictions that “Kyiv will fall in 3 days.” 1/2 ⬇️

Article 13: The land, its mineral wealth, atmosphere, water and other natural resources within the territory of Ukraine, the natural resources of its continental shelf, and the exclusive (maritime) economic zone, are objects of the right of property of the Ukrainian people.

Three years since Russia launched its full-scale war. Three years of Ukrainian heroism. It was an honour for me to receive the flag of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, a witness to Ukrainians’ bravery on the battlefield. The EU will stand with Ukraine and its people, always.

3 years ago today I came home from a night out with friends, went to bed and had no clue I’d wake up in a different reality forever

In the face of unimaginable challenges, the people of Ukraine continue to stand with unbreakable resolve, defending their homeland, and our continent against Russian aggression with courage and determination. Their spirit is both inspirational and humbling. Slava Ukraini!

Good morning 🙏✊

EU + Europe's non EU countries + UK = GDP POWER, so why act from a position of weakness and keep on relying on others. www.imf.org/external/dat...

Today, on the Day of Remembrance of the Heavenly Hundred, we honor those who gave their lives for Ukraine’s freedom during the Revolution of Dignity. On February 20, 2014, russia-backed forces turned Maidan into a battlefield—107 heroes paid the ultimate price. #StandWithUkraine #Heavenly Hundred

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

@osinttechnical.bsky.social Ukrainian engineers at CRAF have developed and deployed a low-cost armor kit for soft HMMWVs supplied by the US. The kit fully aligns to STANAG level 3 standards (7.62x51 AP, 8kg landmine, nearby 155mm shell detonation), and will reportedly enter mass production soon.

It’s ironic how Ukrainians can passionately throw mud at each other only to unite in an instant when faced with a grave threat to their dignity, independence, and sovereignty. And the greater the danger, the fiercer is their response.

Dark Pence is back.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Are Elections in Ukraine Possible During Wartime? Recently, Donald Trump stated that Ukraine must hold elections, echoing Russian propaganda narratives... www.patreon.com/posts/are-el... #UkraineRussiaWar #Ukraine️ #Trump

Figured it was a good t-shirt to wear today #StandWithUkraine

Instead of a thousand words. The much awaited meeting of the Ukrainian Defender with his little daughter. The family's puppy can't hide its happiness, either. 📹: tanyakozlovskaya26/TikTok

Finally a Sunday in the sunshine in Kyiv

🧵1/6 Europe won't survive sleeping through another wake-up call. We should jump out of bed and throw on a shirt. We should do what we can, with what we’ve got. And we’ve got a lot. Here's how to step things up as the US steps down:

603,628 km²

I made a decision long ago to not react to every thing that Trump says, because him saying anything doesn't mean something is going to happen. But for the avoidance of doubt, if you think a surrender deal can be imposed forcefully on Ukrainians, then you don't know Ukrainians.

Here we go again....

The EU + the UK should act from a position of strength and not be followers but leaders. The combined GDP is larger than China's and for manufacturing (not only defense related) the EU + UK should become more self sufficient. Principles should be prioritized over comfort and convenience.

Regarding Europe's security, they are 100% correct that Europe should sort this. Remains strange that 340m Americans should protect 448m people in the EU alone. EU ended up being dependent on russia for its energy and the US for its security and see where we ended up.

Escalate to deescalate....that might be what happened yesterday. Let everyone believe no Ukrainian land will be returned so the moment some land gets returned those behind this will look great...another goodwill gesture maybe.

Every one of these steps is still possible and more urgent than ever. Europe & Canada must urgently 1. Arm Ukraine to win 2. Seize all 🇷🇺assets we can 3. Air defence over western 🇺🇦 4. Deploy ground troops for non-combat tasks 5. Arm ourselves properly www.democratic-strategy.net/_files/ugd/d...

Those pesky Ukrainians were wrong to go into that war by being invaded by Russia, what’s not to understand here?

This is "Франик," a Kharkiv cafe after a bombing and two months later when it reopened. In cities like Kharkiv, where the bombing are a daily reality, Ukrainians choose to live and work. It's not easy, but it's a conscious decision to keep going, keep helping, keep contributing–to keep being human

Vovchansk, Kharkiv region. Razed to the ground by Russia. Since January of this year, Vovchansk does not have a single permanent inhabitant left. All houses have been destroyed.

Our engineering equipment efforts have been a great success, and we now have an urgent request. Please repost and donate: www.paypal.com/donate?campa.... One of the brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces needs engineering equipment to build new command posts

A volunteer on his knees is begging an old lady to evacuate from Pokrovsk, which is less than 5 km from the frontline. She refused to leave her house. ❤️‍🩹

😢 Poltava: the death toll has risen to 8, including 1 child. ❗️17 are wounded, 4 of them children.
