It is very loud in Kyiv this evening. Air defence is shooting down drones. The windows are shaking. You know, it really became worse after trump started his negotiations. As I wrote a few days ago, unpunished evil has been unleashed.

On schedule. Drones arrived in Kyiv. Every evening and night they are here. Air defence is at work. russia wants peace? Perhaps somebody should tell this insane in the kremlin that the doves of peace look a bit different.

Morning from Kyiv! I want to start this Saturday with a song ‘’How cannot I love you, Kyiv of mine?’ A familiar to you gentleman plays it. The video is from the last Sunday, but it suits my mood perfectly.

I am back in Kyiv. Already at home. An air raid alert, air defence is shooting down drones. Loud. A usual life. But! I am so happy to be back. My city ❤️

While I am on my way back to Kyiv, I would be grateful if you share a rally in support of Ukraine you’re planning to attend or just know it happens at your place this weekend. Maybe someone will see and go as well. Thank you 🫂

I see some tend to believe an orange king. I'll tell it once and won't repeat it. I don't consider our President a dictator or ever felt it. Other Ukrainians? Please see the latest poll conducted between Nov 2024 and Jan 2025 as part of the Onukh IBIF project, funded by the British Academy. ⬇️

Life in Ukraine is going on. We resist with every breath, every step, every day and night. We protect what we inherited from our proud ancestors. Ukraine.

Just a forest in Ukraine. Maybe you need a moment of nature now.

Morning from Ukraine! One more time, a view from my hometown. I will be back in Kyiv in the evening. Cannot say that I rested, as the week was hard for Ukraine. I had a #warcoffee already.

Meanwhile in Kyiv. Son sent me the photo of Victory (still a cat). Air raid alert, drones are attacking Kyiv as usual. That means I will worry again. Yes, I need to come back home. Tomorrow I will.

Let me show you a bit more of my hometown. It is a lake generously covered by ice and snow. It feels peaceful. But the river also seems to be safe under the ice.

I am reading that the US is opposing calling russia the aggressor in a G7 statement on the third anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. russia is the aggressor, even if the orange house would call it a messenger of God.

Life is going on in Ukraine. I witnessed this picture earlier today. My hometown. Western Ukraine. Nothing extraordinary, just life.

Morning from Ukraine! It is calm in my hometown, we even have fresh snow. It was not calm in Kyiv. I am in constant contact with my son. I will be back tomorrow evening. Time to return to reality.

The Alley of Glory in my hometown. The song in the video says: The Ukrainian sun has risen, Let it shine brightly. The price is paid high. We will never forgive.

The place where my heavy thoughts can have some rest. Ukraine stands, betrayed but strong as never before. Our strength is people. And these people will fight until the end.

Morning from Ukraine! I woke up, had a #warcoffee, read the news. Odesa was attacked with drones. A significant part of the city is without electricity, water and heating. russians launched 167 drones at Ukraine since yesterday's 8 pm until the morning. Idiots (no sorry from me). We won't give up.

A tiny feast for your eyes. I promised to do it. A photo gallery showcasing the art of Oleksii Shovkunenko, a prominent Ukrainian artist, I told you about in the Sunday Letter, is published. All the art was carefully added in chronological order. Free for everyone: www.patreon.com/posts/oleksi...
