Privoz market is a cultural icon and one of the biggest markets in Europe of its kind. I used to go every day in Odesa. It’s amazing & beautiful. russian hit is last night. They are systematically wiping out some of Europes most treasured cultural landmarks. Utterly…
1/ Understanding these four realities will shift your perspective on Ukraine—whether you're a supporter OR a skeptic! On the Oxford-based @CurtainSilicon podcast, I share these narrative-flipping facts from my reporting in Kyiv ... 🧵⤵️
Is Russia’s Economy Falling Apart Right Now? All the indicators of economic stress are piling up, yet nothing can dissuade Putin from war. youtu.be/Baqoi88F2Pg
A Russian Su‑27UB fighter jet burst into flames on the tarmac—a blaze claimed by the Ukrainian military intelligence to be an act of internal resistance. Are these cracks showing in Putin's control, or a clever operation by Ukrianian controlled partisans? youtu.be/zbqak36Izds
Moscow is training teenagers to act as human bombs in Kyiv. From cafés to recruitment centres — these are not just plots but signals: Russia is escalating terror, and targeting the civilian population, because it cannot cut through on the battlefield. youtu.be/piB4gEqIuY0
Our team and our big boss Dzyga joined today's protest in Lviv 🐾. The poster says: I'm just a dog raising money for drones every single day - no days off, no holidays!!! You can help Dzyga by donating to our ungoing fundraiser via the link in our bio 🤝
Dear friends and supporters, we understand your concern about the new law on NABU and SAPO, which was signed yesterday. We are closely following the updates and share your worries. However, the Constitution of Ukraine clearly states that the people are the sole source of power…
A new Gulag Archipelago is taking shape. A grim, terrifying institution of forced labour, mass arrests and industrial scale torment that Stalin used to compel Russia to 'modernize', on pain of death. Terror ideology turned into watch towers and razor wire. youtu.be/rqeIf7Wy-bQ
We delve into the escalating scandal in Ukraine surrounding President Zelenskyy's sudden and controversial anti-corruption law, which triggered massive protests. With Alya Shandra, the Editor in Chief at Euro Maidan Press. @AlyaShandra @EuromaidanPress - youtu.be/sVOC9wJLiUg
I’m in Ukraine but I’m not Ukrainian so I’m going to shut the fuck up about their politics. I support Ukraine, its people, and especially its Armed Forces. If Ukrainians take to the streets to voice their discontent then that is their choice and we should respect it. Ukraine is a…
Russia’s economy is imploding—and the silence on its banking system is deafening. Russian banks are teetering, bailouts are rumoured, and the Kremlin is quietly crafting laws to lock down the internet and the narrative. Stand back, it's about to blow. youtu.be/-nthKWQCSrI
Russian army reform is crude and bloody learning dangerously fast. Is Russia preparing for perpetual war — are we prepared to stop it? This episode draws on analysis by @John_ForemanCBE and @edwardlucas as well as @bobseely new book ‘The New Total War’. youtu.be/wGWGbYQZ6F4
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of abducting children from Ukraine. It also issued a warrant for the arrest of Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Russia's commissioner for children, on similar…
Grateful to @thetimes for their powerful cover exposing russia's abduction of Ukrainian children. This spotlight brings crucial awareness to our @SaveukraineUs mission. Learn more about the fighting to get Ukrainian children back home: time.com/7302345/ukrain…
Ukrainians stand up to corruption while defending their country. You can’t even stand up to a pedophile ring.
We as Ukrainian Nation will fight for our future. No matter what, no matter against whom.
If Ukrainians don’t like something, they protest, just like in Maidan and just like today. Because it’s a democratic country that loves freedom. Remember that 🫡
Ukrainians organizing massive protests with 3 hour notice and cardboard from a local postal service on a Tuesday, I really love this country
There are political challenges in reallocating Russia's seized assets for Ukraine's benefit - but they need to be urgently overcome, argues Tom Keatinge. We must use the financial tools available to counteract Russian aggression @keatingetom @RUSI_org - youtu.be/WhjTatbg3g8
The Kremlin isn’t just at war with Ukraine — it’s at war with its own population, and the internet itself. Victory Day disconnection of internet coverage was just a foretaste of the censorship that is approaching, a Digital Gulag. What is Putin planning? youtu.be/lVI13ew4RAs
